Former Newcastle defender Stuart Pearce admits he would look to target the under-fire Andre Onana during Saturday evening’s Premier League clash with Manchester United.
The spotlight shining in the goalkeepers eyes after a couple of high-profile mistakes during the calamitous Champions League draw with Galatasaray, St James’ Park on a baltic Saturday night is just about the last place Andre Onana would ideally like to travel to.
Perhaps the most intense, all-action team in the Premier League, backed by a crowd baying for blood. This has the makings of a potentially make-or-break night in Onana’s Manchester United career.
If he can come through an atmosphere like this, and maintain his excellent recent form on the domestic stage, then that would certainly be the first steps toward exercising the ghosts of Istanbul.
