Andre Onana is struggling at Man Utd | Football Digest<\/h3>\n

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will keep faith in Andre Onana despite his latest costly Champions League howlers on Wednesday, according to reports. However, the 27-year-old goalkeeper has been warned that his status as United No 1 could be under threat if he continues as a liability.<\/p>\n

Onana has shown signs of improvement in the Premier League in recent weeks, helping the Red Devils become the top-flight’s form side, winning five of their last six games.<\/p>\n

But he has regularly faltered in a woeful Champions League Group A campaign, likely to end in an early exit next month.<\/p>\n

Onana made high-profile errors in United’s opening 4-3 defeat at Bayern Munich and the following 3-2 loss against Galatasaray.<\/p>\n

And the \u00a347million stopper cost Ten Hag again in Istanbul as United fumbled 2-0 and 3-1 leads to draw 3-3, leaving them on the brink of elimination.<\/p>\n

Onana produced two horror mistakes to allow Hakim Ziyech to score a free-kick brace before Kerem Akturkoglu’s long-range equaliser beat him at his near post.<\/p>\n

According to the Mirror, Ten Hag has told his goalkeeper that he can’t afford any more slip-ups between the sticks, with Altay Bayindir breathing down his neck.<\/p>\n

Bayindir joined United in a \u00a34.3m deal from Fenerbahce but has yet to make his debut while Onana has been an ever-present fixture in Ten Hag’s side.<\/p>\n

But he is said to have impressed in training since his Old Trafford arrival, and the Dutchman is ready to give his backup goalkeeper a chance if Onana continues to falter.<\/p>\n

Bayindir is expected to inherit an important role during the Africa Cup of Nations in January when Onana could be away representing Cameroon.<\/p>\n

The latter may miss up to six United games while on international duty, leaving Bayindir with a chance to prove himself over the winter period.<\/p>\n
