Andre Onana wins April’s Premier League Save of the Month for effort against Burnley | OneFootball

At least someone at Manchester United is getting some positive recognition for their efforts in a wretched April.

United won just one game in seven in April across all competitions, a 4-2 win against bottom club Sheffield United.

There wasn’t much to celebrate as the club went from contenders for Champions League qualification to becoming outsiders for any European place at all next season.

Amidst the rubble, Andre Onana has been awarded the Premier League Save of the Month award for April.

Onana’s save off Lyle Foster’s header during the 1-1 draw against Burnley has been recognised as the best save of the month.

This is the first time the Cameroonian has won this award since joining the club in the summer, with no other goalkeeper repeating either.

He beat competition from six other goalkeepers, including fierce rivals Liverpool’s Alisson and ex-player Dean Henderson of Crystal Palace.

For Onana, the Burnley fixture was a mixed bag despite this save netting him the award.

Burnley equalised late in that game after Onana crashed into their player while going up to collect an aerial ball, resulting in a penalty.

It continued the theme of United collapsing late in games after leading and dropping points inexplicably.

At least for Onana, his own form has generally been on an upward trend after a chastening start to his United career, particularly in the Champions League.

Fans will hope that he takes these experiences of his debut season and gives the team a more solid base in his second year at the club.
