Andre Onana not only helped MU defeat Everton 3-0, but he also contributed to the Red Devils setting a Premier League record.
It was a stunning day for the Red Devils, and when the attacking players all spoke up after the game, Erik ten Hag grinned.
Alejandro Garnacho’s incredible bicycle kick gave Man Utd the lead in the third minute.
At Everton Stadium, the Red Devils won 3-0 after Marcus Rashford increased the lead for the visiting team in the 56th minute and Martial added his first goal of the year.
Aside from the offensive outburst, Onana, the goalie, played a fantastic game for Man Utd last night, making numerous saves. Following a difficult start at the Theater of Dreams, the Cameroonian actor is becoming more confident and dependable.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper made six saves, one of which was a great reaction save that kept the hosts’ Idrissa Gueye from scoring.

By keeping a clean sheet at Everton’s home field, Andre Onana helped MU reach an important milestone: becoming the first team to keep 500 clean sheets in the Premier League.
Fans did not hesitate to praise the Cameroon star, even saying that he was the best player in the match, not Garnacho or Mainoo.
First person said: “Excellent shot-stopping”
The second person affirmed: “Without Onana, Man Utd wouldn’t even be able to get a point when leaving Goodison Park.”
A third person continued: “The Onana we all know and love is finally here”
A fourth person expressed: “We’ve managed to replace De Gea with De Gea 2.0. A good shot stopper with suspect distribution ”
Onana himself is also the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets (5 matches) in the Premier League this season, after 13 rounds.
Onana has gained confidence and seems more like himself after making a successful penalty save in the encounter against Copenhagen in October of last year, when he was an Inter Milan player.
After Man United’s loss to Galatasaray, Erik ten Hag projected a change in form, and he was optimistic about the Cameroonian’s comeback.
“We are happy with our goalkeeping group, definitely with Andre,” he said. “He was in one semi-final of the Champions League, last year he was in the final of the Champions League, he has the capabilities to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
“He has shown that and he will do. We already have seen in games his great capabilities, also his personality after he made mistakes. He will bounce back and I am sure he will in the coming games as well.”
After defeating Everton, MU now has 24 points in the Premier League, four points behind the top 4.
We succeeded in substituting De Gea with De Gea 2.0. A reliable shot-blocker with dubious distribution
