Former Manchester United goalkeeper: I made a mistake in playing for Tottenham at the time and I must be strong inside.

A few days ago, former Manchester United goalkeeper Roy Carroll talked about Onana's current situation, who is about to join Trabzon Sports on loan, while Manchester United signed Lamons as a replacement.

Although Carol was not as valuable as Onana when he joined Manchester United, he also went through difficult times. Carroll was criticized for missing Pedro Mendes' shot against Tottenham, although in an era where there was no goal line skill, the referee did not make a penalty.

Carroll said: "I made a big mistake against Tottenham, which became the focus of people's discussion. I accept this fact and can just laugh it off now. But I couldn't laugh at it at the time because I was very frustrated. As you get older, you will gradually let go."

"It's not easy to play for Manchester United now, but it was also difficult back then because everyone was looking forward to the appearance of the new Schmeichel. Even at that time, if you make a mistake, it will become big news. You must be strong inside, and now it is the same. But we are not robots, we are all ordinary people. The response off the court is more important than on the court."

Onana was Manchester United's main goalkeeper last season, but has not played in the league this season. Baindel took over the first three league starts, and Onana's only appearance was against Greensby in the League Cup.
