Rio Ferdinand’s podcast ‘cursed’ Andre Onana, it has been claimed on social media, after the Manchester United goalkeeper suffered a nightmare night in the Champions League.<\/p>\n
Onana made two costly mistakes allowing Galatasaray to recover twice from two-goal deficits to claim a 3-3 draw – that leaves Erik ten Hag’s side bottom of their group with one game left to play.<\/p>\n
United have now conceded 14 goals in five Champions League games, with Onana making a number of mistakes even before the draw with Galatasaray.<\/p>\n
Despite this, no keeper has kept more clean sheets in the Premier League than Onana – who is joint top along with Crystal Palace’s Sam Johnstone and Newcastle’s Nick Pope.<\/p>\n
Ferdinand asked for an apology to Onana on a VIBE with FIVE podcast earlier this week due to his domestic clean sheet record, but had to criticise him on Wednesday night after the costly draw away in Turkey.<\/p>\n

Andre Onana made two costly mistakes in Manchester United’s draw with Galatasaray<\/p>\n

Ferdinand defended Onana on his podcast this week due to his Premier League clean sheet record, but had to criticise the keeper following his costly mistakes against Galatasaray<\/p>\n

The former England captain who was a pundit for TNT Sports last night, said: ‘I think that the keeper today has to hold his hands up and say ‘yes, I was at fault for a couple of goals,’ and he should do better.’<\/p>\n
Earlier in the week on his podcast, he said: ‘Joint most clean sheets in the Premier League.’<\/p>\n
Addressing one of his co-hosts, he said: ‘I want an apology now. Just say sorry to the camera now because Onana actually watches the show.’<\/p>\n
United took a 2-0 lead after goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes, before pulling one back from a Hakim Ziyech free-kick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Red Devils restored their advantage through Scott McTominay, but Galatasaray again pulled out back after Onana fumbled another Ziyech free-kick into the net.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Onana’s positioning was also questionable for Galatasaray’s third goal, as he was beaten at his near post from a Muhammed Kerem Akturkoglu strike.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ten Hag refused to blame his keeper after the match, who was left visibly distraught after the final whistle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Man United legend Peter Schmeichel described Onana’s mistakes as ‘very, very expensive’\u00a0\u00a0while TNT Sport pundits also hit out at the keeper.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Onana has struggled for United in Europe, conceding 14 goals in just five games so far<\/p>\n
Robbie Savage said it was a ‘bad error’ from Onana which led to their second goal while Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves were critical of the keeper for the Turkish’s side first strike.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking at half time about Ziyech’s first goal, Hargreaves said: ‘Onana can\u2019t see because of the two players in front. He takes a step to the left when he probably shouldn\u2019t. If he stays still, he probably saves it.’<\/p>\n
Scholes added: ‘That step to the left has killed him and the goal has gone in.’<\/p>\n
Onana’s pair of mistakes let Galatasaray back into the match and the hosts took full advantage as they drew level through substitute Kerem Akturkoglu in the 71st minute.<\/p>\n
