Lindelof defends Man Utd keeper Onana after Bayern Munich blunder: Mistakes happen

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof insists no-one is turning on Andre Onana after last night's 4-3 Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich.

United goalkeeper Onana was at fault for Bayern's opener on the night.

“Mistakes are part of football. It happens, but it's all about how we can bounce back from that," he told MUTV. “I think we started the game well and then obviously we conceded the first goal. After that we just have to keep doing our job and keep playing the football that we want to.

“We came out in the second half and we wanted to give it a good try and we managed to score three goals. But like I said, in the end we didn't get the result we wanted. So of course it's very frustrating."

He added: “In the Premier League, it's always tough. It's all about the recovery and like you said, we're staying here tonight and we will try to get a good night's sleep and recover well.

"We then fly back to Manchester to prepare for the game on Saturday (against Burnley). Everyone is eager to play that game as well, to bounce back and get three points and hopefully keep going after that."
