Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has issued an immediate response after making a huge error in his side's 4-3 defeat to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.
The Cameroonian has publicly taken responsibility for his goalkeeping howler, as his mistake allowed Leroy Sane's shot to wriggle under his body for Bayern's opening goal.
The Red Devils have been leaking goals this season despite having made a major goalkeeping change following the departure of former No.1 David de Gea in July. After four goals were put past him in Munich, it now means Onana has conceded 14 goals in his first six appearances for the club.

With the mistake against Bayern having been a decisive moment in the game, Onana is said to have insisted on making a public comment on his display on the night and admitted that he was to blame for the result in Germany.
He told TNT Sport, "It's difficult to lose this way as we started very good but after my mistake, we lost control of the game.
"It's a difficult situation for us, and me, as I let the team down. The team was really good but it was because of me we didn't win this game.
"I'm happy for the work of the team but we have to move on - that is the life of a goalkeeper. We didn't win today because of me.
"Their first shot on target, I made a mistake, so the team went down because of that mistake. I have to learn, be strong and move on although it's not an easy situation. I'm happy with the comeback of the team, we were fighting until the end.
"I have a lot to prove. My start in Manchester has not been good or how I want. The way I played today was one of my worst games.
"It's difficult as we are a big club who wants to win everything. It was a good opportunity to bounce back after the situation we are facing - it's a tough time, we have to be together and continue to work hard."
