JAKARTA - Manchester United (MU) captain Bruno Fernandes is worried about the mental condition of his team's goalkeeper, Andre Onana. Fernandes then gave moral support to Onana.

Onana made a fatal mistake when Manchester United defeated Bayern Munich in the inaugural match in Group A of the 2023/2024 Champions League. In the match at the Allianz Arena, last Thursday MU lost 3-4 to the host.

Erik ten Hag's squad actually started well. But in the 28th minute, Onana failed to catch Leroy Sane's low-kick well.

At that time the ball was right on the goal that was guarded by Onana. He swiftly tried to catch it, but the ball fell off and instead tore the net itself.

This incident is certainly very unexpected, Onana, who looks very disappointed. This incident also made other MU players who saw the incident immediately comfort Onana.

"Andre (Onana) is a great goalkeeper. We have to take the blame as a team," said the Portuguese midfielder, quoted from Irishexaminer, Friday, September 22.

Fernandes insists, this is a bitter moment, but as a team they will go through it together. For Fernandes so far he and his colleagues have continued to fight hard.

However, against a team like Munich, he admitted, needed something bigger, where if there was a slight mistake it could be a disaster.

"When you give them (Bayern Munich) a chance, they will hurt you," he said.

"Everything has happened. There is nothing to drag on in regret. It's time to think ahead," continued Fernandes.

Manchester United players must shift their focus to domestic competitions. In the Premier League, the Red Devils will face hosts Burnley in the sixth week at Turf Moor, Sunday, September 24 in the morning WIB.
