In Manchester United's recent match against Tottenham, goalkeeper Andre Onana had two impressive saves against Timo Werner, despite the team's overall defeat. Rio Ferdinand, a former United player, praised Onana for his performance and believed he was the only player who could hold his head high after the game.
From the start, United seemed to be struggling and quickly fell behind when Micky van de Ven assisted Brennan Johnson's goal in just three minutes. The game took a turn for the worse when Bruno Fernandes was given a red card for a reckless tackle. In the second half, goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke sealed the victory for Tottenham.
Despite the loss, Tottenham's manager Ange Postecoglou was proud of his team's fourth consecutive win in all competitions, which has now lifted them to eighth place. On the other hand, United find themselves in 12th place, eight points behind Manchester City.
Onana's impressive saves against a struggling Timo Werner caught Ferdinand's attention, who mentioned the goalkeeper on his YouTube channel. He acknowledged that Onana had received criticism last season but has now stepped up and made crucial saves for the team.
Ferdinand was disappointed with United's performance, describing it as an "absolute piss-poor" display. He felt the team lacked fight and quality, falling back into the same pattern as last season. Despite some effort in the second half, Ferdinand believed United were easy to play against and showed a lack of ideas.
He expressed his frustration with the team's inconsistency, as they had a strong start to the season but have now fallen back into their old ways. Ferdinand ended his analysis by stating that United need to improve if they want to compete at the top level.
