The Cameroonian international was responsible for all three goals his team conceded in Wednesday’s disastrous 3-3 Champions League draw at Galatasaray.

Despite a concerning performance once more, Onana is anticipated to maintain his starting position tonight at St James’s Park against Newcastle.

Ten Hag maintains that he and his squad continue to have complete faith in the £50 million summer acquisition from Inter. He even asserts that At present, Onana is positioned as the second-best goalkeeper in the Premier League.

United have Altay Bayindir, an additional summer acquisition, and the seasoned Tom Heaton on hand. Although Ten Hag is confident in Onana, he insists that he cannot permit his form to fluctuate uncontrollably on an ongoing basis.

“That will not happen,” he said. “This dressing room is together. Football is a game of mistakes and everyone can make mistakes. But this team has to cover that so we will operate.

“Nobody is undroppable, that is also clear. We have a strong belief that he will help us win trophies.”

It is anticipated that Onana will be summoned up to Cameroon’s squad for the Africa Cup of Nations in January, subsequent to the resolution of a dispute with head coach Rigobert Song that force him to retire from international football after the World Cup last year.

If summoned in, the 27-year-old could miss four Premier League matches; according to some reports, Onana is now concerned that he may be demoted from the United squad during that time.

When asked whether a decision had been reached regarding his participation, Ten Hag responded, “When they call him, he has to go. But we are in talks.”

United travels to Newcastle on Saturday, and Marcus Rashford will be available to play again after missing the midweek spectacle due to suspension.
