Bruno Fernandes has expressed unwavering confidence in Andre Onana despite the goalkeeper's error during Manchester United's 2-1 Europa League victory over Viktoria Plzen. Rasmus Hjolund was instrumental, scoring twice to secure the win at Doosan Arena. However, Onana's mistake allowed the home team to take an early lead when he passed directly to Pavel Sulc, who assisted Matej Vydra in scoring.Fernandes, speaking to TNT Sports, emphasised that no blame was placed on Onana for his error. He acknowledged that mistakes are part of the game and stressed the importance of focusing on collective performance rather than individual errors. "We want to play from the back. Everyone knows we have to make the right decision," Fernandes stated. "Andre missed the pass but it's nothing we should focus on."The United captain further highlighted their trust in Onana's abilities, especially when playing out from the back. He noted that Onana is aware of his mistake and is capable of learning from it without needing reminders from others. "He knows he made a mistake, he's a clever guy, we don't need to tell him," Fernandes added.Fernandes reiterated that their belief in Onana remains strong and that they trust him to continue making decisions he deems best for the team. The focus remains on resilience and teamwork, which have been key elements for Manchester United over time. Mistakes are seen as opportunities for growth rather than setbacks.Rasmus Hjolund also shared insights into the team's progress under new manager Ruben Amorim. With six matches played under Amorim's leadership, United has secured three wins, two losses, and one draw. Two of these victories came in the Europa League.Hjolund acknowledged that adapting to Amorim's style requires time and practice. "We still need more time," he said. "It's very early days." He emphasised the importance of using match experiences as opportunities for practice due to limited training sessions.

Hjolund explained that while it might seem unusual, integrating practice within matches is currently their most effective approach given their schedule constraints. This method allows them to gradually adapt to Amorim’s strategies while maintaining competitive performance.Manchester United continues to build on its strengths with a focus on teamwork and adaptability under Amorim’s guidance. The players remain committed to improving collectively while supporting each other through challenges like Onana’s recent mistake.
