MANCHESTER UNITED legend Peter Schmeichel claims Andre Onana has “upset the whole team” after another error against Brentford.
United signed Onana in July following a £47million deal with Inter Milan to succeed legendary goalkeeper David de Gea but he has since committed a series of blunders between the sticks.

The latest gaffe took place earlier today at Old Trafford when the Cameroon international failed to block Mathias Jensen’s shot, which opened the scoring for the Bees.
The 27-year-old lunged to his right and touched the ball but couldn’t force it out.
Scott McTominay saved Onana’s blushes thanks to a stunning stoppage-time brace that saw United turning things around and winning 2-1.
However, legendary goalkeeper Schmeichel fears the Cameroonian is losing his team-mates’ trust.
The 59-year-old added that the ex-Ajax star needs to work on his technique as he claims he’s particularly vulnerable to low shots.
Schmeichel told Premier League Productions: “The goalkeeper is not covering himself in glory in that one.
“My theory here is he’s just lifting up, he’s not setting off, his arm is coming up to go down, whereas as a goalkeeper you learn to dive along around for the ball, you don’t go up to come down.
“We saw the same mistake against Bayern Munich and I notice the same thing, he just kind of lifts himself instead of actually diving and moving towards the ball.
“Don’t ask me because I’m not Onana, I don’t know. It’s a technical [issue].
“I think a lot of that is pressure, I spoke to him after Bayern, I spoke to him after the other Champions League match against Galatasaray as well, he’s very down on the mistakes he’s made.
“I’m trying to speak to him about what it’s like to be at Manchester United, what you have to take.
“Whatever you’ve made, you have to put it in a box straight away and put it to the side.

“So you make a mistake in a game, it might be a mistake we see, it might be a mistake that we don’t see, but you wait to think about it and analyse it until after the game or at night or whatever.
“You have to be there for the next moment, if you’re not you’ll make the next mistake.
“And now he’s upset the whole team. Now they will even more not trust him, and my God, it’s not good.”
