“Fulham Ends Manchester United’s Winning Streak as Andre Onana’s Spectacular Save Nominated for Premier League Save of the Month”. Manchester United’s four-game winning streak in the Premier League came to an end when they faced Fulham at Old Trafford last Saturday. Despite not delivering dazzling performances, United managed to accumulate enough points in recent weeks to maintain hopes of a top-four finish.
One standout moment in February was Andre Onana’s impressive form since his return from the African Cup of Nations. His outstanding save in the 3-0 home victory against West Ham at Old Trafford has been nominated for the Premier League Save of the Month for February.
The remarkable one-handed stop occurred just 10 minutes into the game, preserving the scoreline as West Ham applied early pressure on the United goal. A header from Tomáš Souček deflected off a combination of Edson Álvarez and Casemiro before Onana leapt to his left to keep the ball out. The save was particularly impressive due to Onana’s ability to adjust his body weight as the ball changed trajectory after the deflection.
Onana’s crucial save set the foundation for United to comfortably win the game with a clean sheet. After a challenging start to his time at Manchester United, the 27-year-old goalkeeper is now displaying signs of settling into life at Old Trafford.
In addition to Onana’s nomination, three other Manchester United representatives are up for Premier League awards this month. Erik ten Hag is competing against Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta for the Manager of the Month prize, while Rasmus Hojlund is among the seven nominees for the Player of the Month award. Kobbie Mainoo’s last-minute wonder goal against Wolves is also shortlisted for the Goal of the Month, as United hopes for a clean sweep in the monthly accolades.
The full list of nominees for February’s Save of the Month includes:
Jose Sa (Wolves 3-4 Man Utd)
Guglielmo Vicario (Everton 2-2 Spurs)
Emiliano Martinez (Sheff Utd 0-5 Aston Villa)
Andre Onana (Man Utd 3-0 West Ham)
Mark Flekken (Wolves 0-2 Brentford)
