There was one time when Onana passed it about five yards to Lindelof, he looked at him as if to say &#8220;why are you passing it to me for?&#8221; and passed it straight back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;That is one of the problems with having a ball-playing goalkeeper, which is what Ten Hag wants. You&#8217;ve got to have ball-playing centre-halves, you&#8217;ve got to have ball-playing full-backs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Aaron Wan-Bissaka is not a ball-playing full-back, he&#8217;s a brilliant full-back &#8211; not a ball-playing full-back.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/04\/12\/75036285-12478491-image-a-18_1693826104216.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Onana has come straight into the team at United since his \u00a347m switch from Inter Milan\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Onana has started all four games this season since arriving as a replacement for the outgoing David de Gea, who left on a free transfer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While Ladyman was glowing in his praise for Onana, there was a far gloomier outlook for Jadon Sancho, whose future at Manchester United is in doubt after being dropped for the game over his &#8216;training performance&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Sancho had hit back, claiming Ten Hag&#8217;s explanation was &#8216;completely untrue&#8217; and that he was being used as a &#8216;scapegoat&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sutton claimed that Sancho&#8217;s days were numbered at United, but said the manager and the player were both at fault.

It&#8217;s an honest answer to a straight question.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If Ten Hag is evasive or obtuse about this issue, people will then start to ask themselves, &#8220;Has Jaden Sancho maybe got another mental issue?&#8221; That wouldn&#8217;t be fair on Sancho. Ten Hag had to tell the truth.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><span>Sutton added: &#8216;Manchester United this season haven&#8217;t hit the straps and a fit, firing Jadon Sancho would be a real asset for them. It looks like he&#8217;s finished at Manchester United. If you&#8217;re Jadon Sancho, how do you feel about that? Being outed in public.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8216;You have to have the manager&#8217;s back. Kenny Dalglish used to say things in the sanctuary of the dressing room and would fillet players. He filleted me, which wouldn&#8217;t surprise you. Then he&#8217;d go out to you boys in the press and say something, totally different, back the players.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8216;When managers do that, they always have the dressing room with them.
