Firstly, the widely articulated view that Onana is just not very good is wrong.Edwin van der Sar observed the Cameroon international closely for three years when he was chief executive at Ajax.Widely acknowledged to be one of the best goalkeepers in history, Van der Sar was genuinely excited for Onana’s move to United and was still backing him after a disappointing first season.It is impossible to imagine someone as level-headed as Van der Sar would talk so enthusiastically about anyone without believing what he was saying to be true.Onana himself has spoken about his introduction to life at United. “I…
