Andre Onana produced an error in net to gift Brentford a goal against Manchester United, angering fans on social media.

Onana has come under fire for his recent mistakes in Man United's defeats to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray in the Champions League.

And he has received more criticism following his blunder against Brentford in today's Premier League fixture at Old Trafford.

Yoane Wissa drove at Man United's defence before putting a ball into the box, which was poorly dealt with by Victor Lindelof, who fluffed his clearance.

The ball eventually fell to Mathias Jensen who hit a tame strike at goal, which Onana failed to keep out.




Needless to say, Man United fans online slammed the goalkeeper for his part in Brentford's goal.

One X user wrote: "How can we continue to be this sloppy is unbelievable. Horrible from Onana again."

A second tweeted: "Casemiro but then Onana. Wow he’s so bad at keeping."

A third added: "Remember when they said Onana was De Gea’s upgrade."

A fourth commented: "Literally worse than De Gea."

Another said: "When’s AFCON starting pls? He needs to leave."

Despite a questionable showing against Galatasaray in midweek, Erik ten Hag jumped to the defence of the £47.2 million summer signing.

"We are happy with our goalkeeping group. Andre was in one semi-final, last season in a final of Champions League," he said after his side's 3-2 defeat.

"[He] can be one of the best goalkeepers in the world. We have seen already his great capabilities and also his personality. He will bounce back.

"I have to talk with more players, and Andre of course. I will encourage him and back him. He’s a great goalkeeper. We have to settle down and look forward."
