Former Nigeria goalkeeper Emmanuel Egbo has weighed into the debate around Andre Onana's form with Manchester United.

The summer arrival from Inter Milan has battled to settle between the posts for United and has been at fault for several goals conceded in his first months at Old Trafford.

With United struggling for consistency, the Cameroonian has found himself at the centre of the debate around the team's form and their problems so far this season.

Watching from afar - actually from Kosovo where he was just named new head coach of FC Prishtina - has been Egbo. The veteran of two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments says he's been studying his fellow African closely this season and believes he's being scapegoated for the team's problems.

“Yes I have watched many of the games of Onana at United," Egbo told Tribalfootball.com. "I think the problem is not related to Onana because also (David) De Gea had a lot of problems there.

"In my opinion United has a lot of problems in different sectors (of the team) and for me it's not that the problems of United are related only to Onana."

However, Ego also admits the pace of Premier League, compared to Serie A and the Eredivisie, where Onana was previously with Ajax, does require some time for adjustment.

He continued: "Andre came from a different team and league and he needs his time to adapt because you cannot compare the English League with the Italian league they are very different.

"The English league is a very fast league where you don't have time to think about how you will play the ball, etc in comparison to the Italian league where you have time to think about what are you going to do.

"My advice to him would be to be faster, to have faster reactions and to think faster about his reactions in goal. He needs to work more related to the psychological part of the goalkeepers and regarding his decision making."
