Andre Onana accused of being 'delusional' for comments made in interview after defeat vs Tottenham Hotspur

Andre Onana has boldly claimed that Tottenham Hotspur were not the better side after they beat Manchester United in the Premier League.

On Saturday evening, United were second best as they were beaten by Ange Postecoglou’s men.

A goal from midfielder Pape Sarr and an own goal by United's Argentine centre-back Lisandro Martinez secured a much-needed 2-0 victory for the North London club.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, goalkeeper Onana boldly claimed that Spurs were not the better side on the day.

He said: “No. I don't think they were better than us.”

Fans were quick to react on social media.

One said: “Onana just said Spurs weren't the better side. That sums it perfectly. You can't improve as a club if you don't accept where you are.”

Another tweeted: “If Onana genuinely thinks Spurs weren’t the better side then they’re in for a long season.”

A third fan added: “Onana doesn't think Spurs were the better side !!! Is he getting the teams mixed up ? Does he think Spurs were in red?”

Someone else wrote: “Onana thinks they were the better side??? Delusional”

United boss Erik ten Hag said: “We created the chances, the first half was completely ours and then you have to score. We created the chances but we didn't put them in the net.

“Also we deserved a penalty. We didn't get it, so you have to accept it. That's the way the game is. So it was not our day.”

He added: “I see the start as a few more games. We are disappointed today. We have to look at ourselves to score our chances, and we did not. The first goal is very important in Premier League games.”

United will be back in Premier League action next weekend as they take on Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
