- On this week’s episode on The Overlap, brought to you by SkyBet, we are joined by Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana.
As our first goalkeeper on the show we kick things off with a discussion on the evolution of the position along with the differences the Premier League has brought to the Cameroonian keeper.
Onana talks about his childhood, family and youth career that seen him reject a contract at Barcelona after coming through their youth system and the relationship he has United boss Erik ten Hag, who he played under at Ajax before a move to Inter Milan.
We also chat about the Andre Onana Foundation, a foundation that provides free medical care and surgeries to underprivileged communities helping individuals in need regain their health and hope.
Finally we preview this weekend’s FA Cup final between Manchester United v Manchester City and Onana has a special message for the Red Devils fans.

You should get De Gea on the show, talking about the change from Sir Alex to when he left and why he is still without a club.
Why go backwards…..interview him when we winning
@@amazind9126because its nice to know a different perspective on how different it was when sir Alex left that's why
@@amazind9126you would have to go back in time to do anything about UTD winning
It’s not a Manchester United podcast 😂
@@kellammusic it sure looks like one
His line about protecting the younger ones, that's leadership right there
Was just about to comment the same thing. Proper leader he is along with a couple others in the team like Harry and Bruno to name a few
Captain material.
Well spoken as well. He will come good
Yes i like the guy. Good at handeling pressure in life
Yeah only the 87 goals conceded 💪
Who's here after the FA cup final?
lol if they didn’t win I wouldn’t watch this I was waiting 😂
We won
I like Andre and hope he improves but he did make another big big mistake in that game, we should have won it 2-0
Man this interview made me respect him so much more. What an elite mentality man. Look at the difference between Harry's character to someone like Sancho. Succeeding at this club for players and managers require a different level of mentality.
Sancho showed his mentality is to reach champions league finals. Drop agendas and think critically.
@@Pengboycartiit’s funny how top players go to Man Utd seems to be a graveyard of killing class talent
dodgy keeper!
@@Pengboycarti you sort of proved his point. Sancho is weak mentally if he can only perform when things are comfortable
@@Pengboycarti he went to a team that wasn't struggling, had established players and still played averagely with the odd one or two good games?
I Love his mentality, always makes a positive out of negatives. Makes mistakes, but he just gets on with it - he doesn't shy away, which is a huge trait to have and much needed being at united.
Minus goal difference stats don't lie.
Just 87 goals conceded 🤣🤣
@@sampennington1078 Yeah they do, according to the league table we are joint 5th best defence 58 goals conceded. We both know that's a lie.
Agree, pity Rashford isn’t more like this
But yeah this doesn’t help us win trophies. If anything he’s made us lose
This chat with Andre will give him a lot more fans. Good job.
Cheers Jake.
This guy is perfect for us
but hes a nice guy, good mentality, a great human
Definitely a captain material for the future for sure, I liked how humbled he was in this interview, the way he always tries to protect the young players, acknowledges the weaknesses in the team and takes some responsibility for bad season United had.
Captain 😂😂😂😂
Lol
I'm speaking on behalf of all neutral fans when I say YES, PLEASE keep him long terms and make him captain, and while you're at it give Ten Hag a 10-year extension. Antony too, if you're really feeling generous. 🙏🙏🙏
@@robbo512 you think you’re funny, but you’re actually not.
@@Cheenayydoo you honestly cannot be happy with this guy in the goal and the glaring mistakes he constantly makes, not to mention eth and his zero style of play or tactics, seriously fans these days are so soft and forgiving, this man is the reason we got kicked out the champions league single handedly, not tomention the howlers at his near post all season, and his rkos from the top rope when a ball gets crossed, Get him and ETH out ASAP
This guys mentality is special
Better than his goalkeeping, that’s for sure
Delusional
The guy had no issues with ajax or inter and got to an UCL final, seems the problem is utd not his goalkeeping ability
@@ceejotbtry an original comment?
@@BillTheButcher95and the circus in and around the club at board level and from media
Those 6 months were unbearable, but I'm glad he found his feet. The United shirt is awfully heavy. When you can don it with such grace, you're truly worthy. Well done, Onana
Found his feet? You finished with -1 goal difference and have been getting smoked by the likes of Palace recently and he hasn't helped 😂
@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55 i hate to admit it but your right
@@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55so it is the goalkeeper’s fault that Man Utd allowed the most shots against keeper in entire premier league. He has the highest save ratio of any keeper in the league so he did his job, which is why the goal difference doesn’t reflect the amount shots he has to deal with 600 shots in a season is ridiculous.
@@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55clearly you know nothing about football. Onana made some mistakes,yes. But the defending of man United players were shocking.
@@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55 not sure how you're blaming a keeper for the fault of a defender but alright lad
Representation is everything, an African goalkeeper being the number 1 at one of the biggest clubs in the world is fantastic. So proud❤️
Honestly I am so proud of him seriously, and the way he speaks and everything a great example for the next generations of African s
Anyone can play at Man United nowadays.
@@politicallyincorrect2564change your name to factuallyincorrect

I like him, he's got the right mentality for Man Utd. Respect 🙌
A loosing mentality?? Yes he suits them well 😅🤣

@@vanmarko6654a losing mentality? A UCL finalist, where he was dominant. Come on
What a lovely bloke. Helping the society he lives in. He should be awarded for the work he’s done.

Dude manifested it. We did exactly that.
This vid hit different after winning the FA CUP. Glory Glory Man United
yeah, when he say the sun will shine then ur like thinking about that day
From Cameroon straight to Barcelona, then Ajax, Inter Milan (Champions league final MOTM performance), and Manchester United. Top top keeper 🎉
What a stand up guy. They way he refers to himself and players like Bruno and McGuire protecting the youngster is outstanding.
Fantastic bloke. Came across brilliantly. The hate this man receives is shocking. De Gea had a lot of criticism for the first 2 seasons. Give this man a chance.
Facts
That’s exactly what I’ve been saying all along fact ❤
not from 2 seasons, a half season* since he back at that Chelsea game at Stamford Bridge, the guy became a beast
@@igorrodrigues97.Was 2 seasons. He ate bench too to protect him.
He is very mature, the way he thinks is like a leader / Manager of the club. Support Onana (as I always support him from day one, 2023 Summer pre-season). The good thing about Onana is that he owns up to his mistakes , and improve. He is a team player.
Elite mentality! And many thanks to you Gary for remaining the voice of reason during a period where calling for the manager to be sacked is fashionable. You truly care about Manchester United and you will forever be a legend of this great football institution
Really? Have you watched the whole season? Gaz has been slagging of United even on the raw occasions we played ok until a few weeks ago when he spoke to ETH and did a 180
He literally interrogated ETH after few bad games
He manifested it 3 times confidently “ we going there to win” and boom the dream came true! Well done Man U.
The hate onana has got is a disgrace, particularly by our own fanbase. The team has been terrible, he has made a few mistakes but he's been one of our best players, he has come into a s**t show and didn't crumble look forward to seeing how far he can go
There’s a big difference between fans in the stadium and the idiots online. He’s always been supported at Old Trafford.
A lot of the problems have been because we haven’t had the CBs with the speed to play high and let him play out from the back. Hopefully Martinez will be ok and we’ll play differently next season
He has cost us 70 percent of the goals he is the worst goalkeeper we have ever had.
@jeffd3473 would love to see your workings there fella, or are you just making up numbers and stating them as fact?
He would have a smashing career, alright! Utd (hopefully previous regime!) are known to self destruct…hopefully, not with him!
But he’ll do very well and I hope it’s at Man Utd!
@@samuste_it’s true
The humility behind the man really comes through. Andre is not just intelligent, talented and mentally strong but he has never forgotten where he comes from nor the power and influence that he has. This is what "character" means.
Standards are in the bin if this calamity is considered as intelligent and talented. You forgot what a real world class player looks like.
@@lethalchocobo1886 🤡
@@lethalchocobo1886he’s still better than all English keepers 🤣🤣
We need such a mentality in the whole team elite player shows some promise
@@lethalchocobo1886 if you genuinely think hes a bad keeper then you're delusional, you clearly have a vendetta against him because hes a united player
I enjoyed listening to Onana here. I just hope he can have a better season in the next
If he doesn't have 36 different CB pairings in front of him I'm sure he will
He's been brilliant in the pl it was the cl he struggled
@@mohammadsaqib713 He's made plenty of mistakes in the Prem as well. I back him but he needs to improve
@@TheCJsamson also doesn’t help his CBs are constantly rotating and his midfield is forever out of position. United needs to get him help.
overall his season was decent,he overcame the mistakes from the beginning but he still has near corner problems that he needs to solve
Onana has shown such a good side to himself, we need more like him in our side
A very smart and humble man
People seemed to be surprised by his strong mentality. He is an elite Africa player of course has a strong mentality in fact African people in general have a strong mentality because nothing comes easy to them.
You see that he became a much more secure keeper halfway through the season, he just needs a better defence and midfielder in front of him, because no keeper in the premier league had to deal with more shots than him.
Google Africans Social Welfare
Onana seems like such a great guy, speaks very well,intelligent and articulate , seems like he wants to help man utd turn the corner
Another great interview
What impressed me most about Onana was not only his awareness and understanding of his role as a team leader and community member, but also his honesty and transparency in every answer during the interview. There’s nothing that makes you second guess his intentions or meanings.
More players from United need to do interviews like this because it really makes the fans love them. Right now there’s a huge disconnect between fans and players.
The disconnect is from the players not performing on the pitch! They could all be a bunch of good lads but if they aint performing and giving it there all on the pitch then that disconnect will always be there.
Bring on rashy
@@PrajjwalBasnethe’ll just get abused. Fans seem to have made up their mind on him unfortunately. I still think he’ll come back stronger!
great point
I had doubts about him, but this interview shows he has the character to be Manchester Uniteds goalkeeper. We need more like him!
i don't have a doubt, he already prove it before. we just need a better CB and system.
He’s a great character, he’s got the mentality to be successful at the club.
shame he doesn't have the ability hahah
@murraymackay9409 He has ability but the whole team is poor as a whole
@@murraymackay9409is this how you think when crossing the road😢
@@murraymackay9409
So i take it you are unaware that Onana has got the highest save percentage in the league this season, as well as having the highest number of saves...
Never thought about Andre like this way. The way he talks about honoring the club and the truthfulness of the situation they are in currently and the way to move forward was great to hear. Very happy with this interview. Stand up guy
You may not like Onana's play but you have to respect him.. Great guy.
Cant judge onana this season with the amount of shots this man has faced probably the most the man has ever faced in a season
can judge him on positioning, being beaten near post, and flying rko's when a cross comes in though, guys just not good enough, look at his near post goals and the amount of shots that arnt even in the corner, there like semi middle and he gets beaten all the time, olise was the latest one that went right down the pipe
@@Spacecowboyy69 he's a good shot stopper and elite on the ball, net positive if used correctly
@@Spacecowboyy69 he can work on that
@@danrandy1884 hes not even that good on the ball, are you all forgetting that hospital pass a few weeks ago which lead to a goal? Literally bought into the hype
@@Spacecowboyy69 Doesn't make him bad on the ball he attempts a high volume of passes
Cameroon Obosso!🇨🇲 Well done André, tu es le meilleur!
Onana!!! I am proud of you. Greatest shot keeper in the globe for me. Really as a supporter of Man United I proud of you. We will have good days in the coming 5/6 seasons. So, keep it up!!! Grow more. Bless you.
Wonderful person love he said don’t criticise the young kids criticise me
I love this guy. Andre is a quality human being
bro is so well spoken and respectful, bless his heart
This guy first day or second day he stays behind and watches the kids train. All about culture! Great interview.
He's a nice guy. I could tell it was a difficult interview for Gary because Onana didn't give much away and his cultural differences made it hard. Understandably, he didn't understand the motives behind some questions, and he was a bit worried about saying the wrong thing. We can't be too hard on him, as it must be difficult adapting to different countries. He hasn't been here for long, and we have to remember, he has seen the brutal, unforgiving media in Italy whereas now he is seeing the critical media in the UK, which is amplified by the poor season.
Think people are missing the mark mostly with Onana, he’s quality on the ball and his shot stopping is far better than people make out to be. Our defenders lack of awareness to a cutback and receiving the ball is ridiculous and any goalkeeper would have those struggles.
he gets beaten near post 9/10 times and his positioning is terrible, look at olise goal, its basically down his throat, so slow to react
@@Spacecowboyy69 his positioning isn’t terrible?? He gets his defenders in his face constantly in the wrong place at the wrong time. His near post ability is just a blatant lie also.
@@xblissfulleex you have clearly never watched a single match in your life, check the crystal Palace goals, gets beaten near post twice, olise 2nd goal basically down his throat, he is a terrible keeper
@@Spacecowboyy69 Apart from the Palace game you cant name his positioning being as bad
@@dennisbergkamp640 that was literally the latest example only a week and a half ago, there's plenty others il even check later and get back to you but go and look at all goals conceded this season and tell me hes not at fault for a lot of them, gks have a mistake or 2 in them, onana has 10
Hopefully the Sun will shine on us again. Thank you Gary for once again a great interview. Andre Onana is such a great guy. He starts getting good back to his best form back in Inter these days. Next season gonna be huge. Hopefully no more injuries and get a lot of new signings to back the squad. Let's go and beat City in the final eventho this is such a huge task. Come on United!!!
Onana loved the interview, the kind of leadership we need in the squad, as we rebuild I think he'll become more of a presence and voice in the Team. Great Mentality.
they might’ve put this up before the FA cup so that when City won, people would come back here to clown Onana and the team. But they won so this interview hits better
Respect! Respect! Respect! He knows his craft so well!!! Glad to have him at United. Exactly the type of personality we need at this club!
P.S. I feel like Andre would make a good TV/Film actor as well, he's a star! He delivers his dialogues so well!
Onana is very intelligent with his comments
I never really expected it from him
What an interview
To observe that Onana is very intelligent with his comments is normal and alright, but to add that you never really expected it from him makes me ask why - why did you never expect it from him?
@mirandaal4541 tbh I don't know why I never really expected it from him🤣. But what I meant was the response he told Neveille that he said they should not criticise the young players but they should instead go for the senior players. That is elite intelligence right there, that statement made me go wow
@@BoerboelLover134 “tbh I don’t know why I never really expected it from him” - that sounds to me like _unconscious bias_ also known as _implicit bias_ (if you know, you know). We all have prejudice. I guess you’ll be able to learn from yours.
@@mirandaal4541Tbf footballer arent known for their intelligence.
This is the most relaxed I've ever seen him. Love how Garry brings out the real side of people because they respect what he did in his career. He always gets a different interview than anyone else! Channels great. Always good content!
I've never seen him not relaxed. Ever.
I've never seen him not relaxed. Ever.
What a gentleman. As if he went out of his way to get Gary a shirt. ❤ This guy has a huge future
Talking about the injuries, changing defense, pressure of the shirt, the amount of shots he had to face, Gary feeds him every chance to pass off some blame for the tough period and he absolutely refuses. Great stuff.
What a lovely guy, humble, positive and a captain material. Respect for him has increased many folds after this interview and he will become a great keeper for our club. Ggmu
First time I watched ona speak but a good human, i do miss DDG but this guy is now the future, huge respect,
And win we did!
Wow... he's got the mentality ..... he's a leader. Much respect to him, i see him in a way different light.
Growing up in Africa is really beautiful because you get to jump in any house and feel at home unlike in the western world kids are stocked in one place school and home.
We had the chance to run around the communities and have as much fun.
Running in the rain and a lot more fun
Great guy, imagine him with Martinez fully fit and another great CB fully fit for all of next season, even Neuer has stinker games, but hopefully next season our back line is in proper uninjured order
We will get more injuries and more excuses next season
There's a problem in Training you can tell the coaches don't do their job properly from ONANAS Answers 😂😂
I love this kind of interview 💯
This has made me respect him so much more. It’s hard to support the mistakes without knowing him as a person. Gary has a way of helping people open up and have a nice chat.
Hope our defence is injury free or less next year so he can showcase himself
He always played like a leader, but listening to the guy here...i want him on my team always. Great character.
LOVE how Onana can play out with his feet. Let's get him some healthy center backs this year and he will flourish. Mentality is second to none.
He’s showing his class which each game. Let’s stand by our number 1
Onana getting Gary is a gift is pure class. New-found respect for this guy
His mentality is top class. He’s a leader and is very disciplined. This coming from a David supporter. He’s growing on me. Very levelheaded.
I love his mentality. Wish him the best
Gary Neville has one of the highest emotional intelligences in a sports presenter. He is an actual human being and does the BEST interviews. This guy is always a 10/10!
chug chug
Onana has so much mentality, he really has it in abundance I know his gonna become good! ❤️
He is so underated. He saved Man U from a relegation battle. The midfield and defence have been atrocious. Avg 20 shots per game to defend... Shocking
20 shots as every Premier League team know that Bonana has a high propensity to drop Clangers every now and then and seems to be always 2-3 seconds slower in reaction, every team manager would be asking their team to have a pop at goal as Bonana has been encouragement for any team as the 12th man 😂 that’s what our coach used to tell us when we face similar goalkeeper 😅
lol he relegated United from the Champions League.
Andre, your wisdom both on and off the field is truly impressive. Your thoughtful decisions and leadership set you apart. Keep inspiring us all!
HE SAID IT, WE DID IT
I remember watching Peter, Edwin and David thinking “a dustbin could be in goal right now and we’d still keep a clean sheet”
The number of shots this man has had to face and the % he has kept out cannot be ignored. With a good consistent back line this man is world class.
Only David last season and first season tbf, all other seasons he faced a lot of shots. Both top shot stoppers
Not during David's era, surely.
He is already world class
Fair points on David’s era - he was more inconsistent than Edwin and Peter. But my point is more about the defence being solid. For example Jose’s season where he finished second with 81 points. There were games where David may as well not have turned up.
Erik’s tactics drive the opposite at the moment and that has to change.
Great work Gary and the team at Overlap. I'd never have got to see this side of Andre. Keep up good work guys!
What a character Andre is, I see a true leader in him …way to go man…Respect. Looking forward to better times @ Utd next season.
What a lovely humble man, Respect Andre. Top geezer. The Suns going to shine as long as you are willing to keep taking bullets.
Very levelheaded guy this Onana! 'It won't rain everyday ... the sun with shine'
Absolutely amazing again as always it’s a privilege to watch these at this point ❤️
What a passionate and articulate man Andre is, rare do you see such eloquent fluidity from a footballer. I wasn’t happy with De Gea going and Andre got off to a tough start especially in the champions league, hey, if he’s that confident, I’m backing him all the way. Amazing human being 👏👏👏
I have always admired Onana personality. He is a very good human being. A person to look up to. From the beginning i believe in his ability. I never doubted him for once. I was so happy he is coming to my Manchester United. He is a best guy. He is a best goal keeper. He is a best character and personality. He has been fantastic this season. I see him dominating more next season. Ten Hag is always right sticking by him. And I stick vy him 💯% too. Go on Onana. Your interview was a top notch. Your responses to Gary's was sincere and impeccable speech. Manchester United ❤️
What a lovely guy.. confidence and positivity oozing out of him always.!!! Wishing him the very best for the future!!
Gotta say, I have called him out, blamed him, said he was poor etc and having watched this and listened to him and tried to understand his character, he appears to be a guy Utd need and speaks from the heart naturally. Definitely proved me wrong as to how I thought he may have been as a character in my mind. Gary has this natural ability to draw this out of the people he interviews which makes for interesting and compelling viewing. Class as alwasys.
What a lovely guy .. n honest interview..he made me excited fir next season
A great interview. Keep it on Andre.
I’ve been a big critic of Onana from the moment we signed him. I was bitter that we let DDG leave. So that was part of it. No one can live up to de gea he was world class. So it took some getting used to for all parties involved. I stand by the fact that this was a reason for our poor season. But I hope that next season will be better for him and the squad. And he spoke really well. He’s improved a lot as the seasons gone on. So hopefully he will have a strong season next year. Good luck.
Agree with you there pal
De Gea's highest save percentage in the league during his last three seasons was 71,1%, and Onana ended this season with a save percentage of 74,9%, which is the highest in the league, as well as having made the most saves in the league.
Sure, De Gea has had 80%+ seasons, but his average across all seasons at Manchester United is below what Onana got this season, so Onana is of to a good start.
I'd say that Onana kept this season from being much worse, as opposed to having been the reason it was bad.
@bj you are absolutely right
Hes been mint and people need to face the fact de.gea is gone and got us a clean sheet yesterday against Brighton
Fair play to him, not hiding from anything
Another impressive interview from Onana, a big character united have got there.
Man I’ve grown huge respect for Onana. Defending the club so much and especially the manager. Top guy
He is a flop
@@colmmcdonnell6256 He’s just not though is he. Faced more shots than anyone in the league, he’s bound to make mistakes.
I would’ve kept De Gea myself but he’s had a very tough season not at all helped by our performances
@@colmmcdonnell6256
So i take it you are unaware that Onana has got the highest save percentage in the league this season, as well as having the highest number of saves...
@@bjokvi91 de hea was golden glove and kicked aside for this clown .his mistakes this season were shocking.
Go Andre! so much Love from a Leader!! 🥊
Onana is simply a captain material and a future captain for Manchester United. So grounded, humble and very respectful. He knows his game and knows exactly where he is at the moment. You have our support forever Andre. GGMU 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪😍👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽
im not going to lie i have been critical of Andre but the man does not shy away from anything. he is very positive love that
but recognisees that that Utd Shirt is heavy. More respect for him has just grown
What a lovely guy so nice to see how big his ❤ is
Great interview and good questions. Nice bloke and he certainly got better in the second half of the season. Hope the improvement continues - it is a tough job. 👍
I LOVE this fella. And I don’t give 2 craps what anyone else thinks. He gives his all and is a very intelligent skilful tenacious focused keeper and individual. He’s just an AWESOME guy. Imo. 🤩👏🏼🤙🏼💪🏼 WE’LL NEVER DIE
Need more leaders like him in that team to help teach & protect the young lads 👏💪
Great role model for kids and adults too!
I know he made some mistakes this year and had some poor games at times, especially in the champions league, but he’s also had so much to do compared to other keepers and has at times kept the score down or kept us in games on his own. His save percentages are amazing considering the amount of shots he has faced. Would love to see him with a settled defence in front of him, and being able to take even more risks with passing like he did at Inter. People complain about United not having leaders and Bruno being the only captain choice, but I think Onana has just shown he’s also a strong leader here and has the mentality to succeed at this club.
I love how Onana handled this interview
After a tricky start he’s had a really good first season, and was probably Utd’s best player along with Bruno in the second half of the season. Has what it takes to be Utd’s keeper for years to come. Just needs a settled back line in front of him.
Great interview. We need more players with this kind of mentality/character
Top lad..glad he's our new keeper.
Great character to have in the dressing room. Thanks Andre!
We have faith in you Andre. Proper Interview.
I love his positivity man, truly inspiring!
