Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana makes shock statement about his style of play

Andre Onana was humble when asked if Manchester United's players need time to adapt to his proactive style of play, instead insisting that he's the one who needs to adapt to playing at a "very big club".

Onana completed his €55m (£47.2m) move to United from Inter Milan last month and Erik ten Hag confirmed that his ball-playing quality was a factor in why he was so keen on bringing him to Old Trafford.

Ten Hag previously worked with Onana at Ajax and the pair have now rekindled their relationship in Manchester.

The 27-year-old has already impacted the team's build-up play, but many felt it would take time for the outfield players to adapt to his style, something that Onana played down when speaking to reporters after his competitive debut.

"Listen, I think I’m playing with some of the best defenders in the world because playing for Manchester United is not something easy," he said. "I think I’m the one who has to adapt because United is a very big club.

"I’m proud to be able to perform here and proud to play alongside these defenders and if something has to change, I think we will do it. At the moment, everything is going right and we just have to continue working like this."

Onana also discussed whether he was surprised by Wolves' threat and he admitted the game wasn't easy.

"To be honest, yes. We played against a good team, they are a tough team to beat," he added. "The game was not easy and we showed a lot of character, especially in the second half because we needed everyone to drop and we did amazing.

"Happy with this victory because it is not easy to play against a tough team like Wolves. Now we have to look forward. I was happy
