‘Part of football’ – Andre Onana reacts to costly Joshua Zirkzee touch that cost Man Utd vital goal & precious points at Brighton

Premier League

Southampton

Manchester United

<p>After Danny Welbeck broke the deadlock in the first half for Brighton, Amad Diallo brought United back into the game with a brilliant strike just on the hour mark. Ten minutes later, Alejandro Garnacho thought that he had handed his team the lead. However, when he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/video-alejandro-garnacho-robbed-joshua-zirkzee-stops-man-utd-winger-scoring-certain-goal-freak-incident-saves-brighton/blt0e95be25eae4a9d5#cse5c5fd046c2b24cf" target="_blank">scored from the tightest of angles</a>, his effort took a flick off team-mate and summer signing Zirkzee - who happened to be in an offside position mere centimetres from the goal line.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Joao Pedro eventually scored a last-minute goal to hand the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-brighton-marcus-rashford-casemiro/blt72c7615b11f6482f" target="_blank">Seagulls a crucial three points</a> against the Premier League giants. Red Devils custodian Andre Onana was understandably disappointed with the result, however, he did not want to blame new signing Zirkzee for costing the team a vital goal.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to the <a href="https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/andre-onana-assessment-after-man-utd-defeat-to-brighton-premier-league-24-august-2024" target="_blank">club's official media channel</a>, the Cameroonian goalkeeper said: "We came here to win, unfortunately we didn’t win. We had a great game, I think we were better than them, we had more chances, we had more possession, we had more control of the game. Unfortunately, they disallowed us a goal, but that’s part of football, that’s part of life, we have to move on."</p>

WHAT ANDRE ONANA SAID

<p>After the disappointing result at Amex Stadium, Erik ten Hag's side will return to Old Trafford on September 1 as they host rivals Liverpool in a high-voltage Premier League clash.</p>
