Vidic: What I think of Onana at Man Utd

Manchester United legend Nemanja Vidic believes Andre Onana has the ability to succeed at the club.

The Cameroonian has experienced a shaky start to life at the Old Trafford club after arriving this summer.

Onana, a signing from Inter Milan, nearly gave away a penalty in his competitive debut, a 1-0 win over Wolves.

Asked about him after the game, Vidic told Manutd.com: “I'm expecting him to be a good replacement for David [De Gea]. We know how David was important for the squad for many years, but I think Onana can bring something different and, as well, to be important for us in the years to come.

“He was in Inter, he has the experience of playing in a big team, and before [that] he was in Ajax, so all those teams have a winning mentality and they are challenging for the trophies.

“He's ready to be part of the squad. And he's ready to compete on a big level."
