He spent four or five years at Ajax. I trained with him and saw him coming.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has great strengths. He\u2019s athletic. He has good reaction saves.\u00a0Good with his feet and everything. I\u2019m sure he\u2019s going to get over it. Sometimes it\u2019s not easy. Sometimes your performances or the pressure there is.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I\u2019ve seen him play for Ajax, for Inter, Champions League finals. I\u2019m sure he\u2019s going to be fine for next season. I think there are more areas where United should see if you can have a better player, a different player.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I don\u2019t think the goalkeeping situation needs to be addressed now.\u201d<\/p>\n When he was asked if it is unfair to blame Onana, Van der Sar added: \u201cIf you make a mistake or drop one through your legs or it\u2019s a wrong ball that you put out from the back, then you can blame the goalkeeper.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s not been consistent in his performances this year. But with the qualities that he has, he should be able to play for Man United for next season.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Man Utd are now \u2018leaning towards\u2019 a deal for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez over Royal Antwerp\u2019s Senne…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[4699,18,27021,794,19,17,20,5,795,14562,132],"class_list":{"0":"post-34852","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-aston-villa","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-emiliano-martinez","11":"tag-home-page","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-manchester-united","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-premier-league","17":"tag-senne-lammens","18":"tag-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
