Man Utd keeper Onana rejects Anfield tactics criticism

Manchester United shot stopper Andre Onana has defended his team's tactics against Liverpool.

The Red Devils' goalless draw against the Reds at Anfield on Sunday prompted talk about their lack of attacking desire.

United were happy to sit deep and defend in the game, having come into the contest as heavy underdogs.

"Not bad, it could be better because we came here to win," Onana told beIN Sports.

"We are Manchester United.

"We didn't have the result we wanted so we have to keep fighting. Playing for such a big club, you have a big responsibility to try and win every game. We unfortunately didn't win, but we will keep our head up and look forward to the coming games."

On whether United have high standards, the goalkeeper replied: "Of course. We are Manchester United.

“Why would we start to play the game if you don't want to win? It's better if we stay at Carrington (the training ground). If you come here, it is to win. It doesn't matter who we play, we are one of the best clubs in the world."
