Manchester United teammates' ability to adapt to the new tactics of incoming coach Rúben Amorim.
Following Sporting's impressive 4-1 victory over
Manchester City in the
Champions League, Onana emphasized that the squad is ready to embrace the changes that Amorim will bring when he arrives in England next week to take over from Erik ten Hag.

Ten Hag. Onana remarked, “I did watch the game yesterday. Great victory from them [Sporting], by the way. It’s a different system, but we are all pragmatic players here. I believe everyone is capable of adapting to any system, so I don’t foresee this being an issue for us. We have talented players, and they will rise to the occasion.”
