Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has leaped to the defence of goalkeeper Andre Onana by claiming he is the "second best" goalkeeper in the Premier League.
The Cameroon international has come in for some criticism after his two errors in the 3-3 draw with Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday evening.

Despite the recent errors, Ten Hag feels his goalkeeper has done well in the first five months of the campaign.
"If you analyse it well then you see he is the second best goalkeeper in the Premier League based on stats," Ten Hag said at a press conference, as per ESPN.
"He's doing well but he knows that in the Champions League he has made some mistakes but all over in the first five months he has done well."
The Red Devils are back in Premier League action on Saturday night as they take on Newcastle United at St Jame's Park and the Dutch coach feels Onana can bounce back.
"You have seen how he is reacting to a bad performance like in Munich and at Burnley [in the next game] he was outstanding," Ten Hag added
"He is a strong character. He's a personality and he will deal with it."
