It takes courage to admit a costly mistake, and at least with his actions after the game, Andre Onana deserves some credit.
The goalkeeper from Cameroon requested to speak to the media right after Manchester United's 4-3 loss to Bayern, where he had a major role due to an awful mistake. Onana's performance was far from what the team expected, which caused him to pin a big part of this loss on himself.
At one point, the African goalie added that his team deserved more from this tie, but his costly mistake played a huge hand in their defeat against the Bundesliga champions. Before the interview concluded, Onana praised his teammates for their drive and determination, which saw the game ending 4-3 despite his shaky performance.

"The mistake I made cost us the victory"

If Onana is still Manchester's first-choice goalkeeper, the Cameroonian will have a shot at redemption on October 3, when the Red Devils are scheduled to play Kobenhavn away.
