Man Utd title winner May backing Onana over Maguire 'rollicking'

Manchester United title winner David May is backing Andre Onana over his verbal stoushes with teammates.

Onana was seen berating Harry Maguire during the preseason defeat to Borussia Dortmund

May told MUTV: “What it does to you is it keeps you on your toes.

“Me and Casp [fellow guest Chris Casper] were both centre-halves and what you want from your goalkeeper is somebody barking out orders, someone that directs you in the right direction, and is constantly talking to you. I think Onana does that.

“You saw after five or six minutes, he was out on the edge of his box, rollocking the two centre-halves. That can only be good. I don't think the players do enough of that, I think it's healthy, keeping everyone on their toes.

“I think Onana will be the epitome of that, from a defensive point of view. As a defender, that's what you want, somebody barking orders behind you."
