Man Utd's Ten Hag refuses to blame Andre Onana for Galatasaray draw
Dutch coach Erik ten Hag stood up for goalkeeper Andre Onana after his two errors cost the Red Devils a draw against Galatasaray in the Champions League.
Manchester United are on the brink of a Champions League group exit after being held to a 3-3 draw by Galatasaray despite leading 3-1.
Andre Onana again made headlines for a poor performance for the Red Devils. The Cameroon goalkeeper misjudged two free-kicks by former Chelsea player Hakim Ziyech, giving the Turks a chance to come back, which they took.
Mancunian coach Ten Hag was angry at the post-match press conference about the number of goals his side have conceded in European competition - 14 goals in just five games - but refused to blame the former Inter goalkeeper.
"He's OK. It is not about an individual. Individual errors in football can make a difference and you take responsibility for it, but it is always about the team. It is not so easy when we give free-kicks away and we have to defend the free‑kicks better. Hakim is brilliant, I know that, and he is extraordinary," said the former Ajax coach.
