Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana admits he struggled to settle when joining the club.

Onana arrived for a mega fee from Inter Milan in the summer on the say-so of manager Erik ten Hag.

Despite having worked with Ten Hag at Ajax, Onana found it tough to adjust to the Premier League when he first arrived at United.

I arrived as the best goalkeeper in the world and 'boom' it went down. It was like 'what happened?'," said the 28-year-old to the BBC.

But that is how difficult football is sometimes. It depends if you want to stay down there or stand up and fight. I know what I did to arrive here. I know who I am. I decided to stand up and fight."

We are talking about the same player," he added on Marcus Rashford.

So now he's a bad player? No. You can have a bad season or a bad start but the most important thing is how you end.

Rashy, for me, is one of the best players in the world. But he is facing difficulty. It's not only him and me but the whole club.

But he will come back. I know my killer will score some important goals for us. Hopefully against City he will score two and we win the FA Cup."
