Onana Unfazed by Anfield Atmosphere as Manchester United Secures Draw Against Liverpool. Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana remained unaffected by the renowned Anfield atmosphere during the Red Devils’ uneventful 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Despite facing a lively home crowd, the 27-year-old goalkeeper made crucial saves to deny Liverpool’s attacking threats, including Mohamed Salah. This was Onana’s second visit to Anfield, with his previous encounter taking place behind closed doors during his time at Ajax due to the pаndemic.

Speaking to MUTV after the match, the Cameroonian international expressed his indifference towards the Anfield crowd, stating, “I felt nothing. At Manchester United, you’re going to encounter that, and I have to be prepared for anything. I’m accustomed to playing high-intensity matches, and it was nice to play here today. We faced a strong opponent, but we demonstrated that we have quality players. As Manchester United, our objective is always to strive for victory.”

Onana’s remarks came in response to former United captain Gary Neville’s criticism of the subdued atmosphere at Anfield. Despite Liverpool boasting their largest attendance in over 60 years, Neville commented during the Sky Sports broadcast, “I have to sаy, this is by far the worst atmosphere I’ve ever seen at Anfield for a Manchester United game. It’s really, really quiet so far, other than the first five minutes where they were up for it.”

While acknowledging the historic investment made to increase Anfield’s capacity, Neville further remarked, “The atmosphere was the worst I’ve seen at Anfield ever for a Liverpool-Manchester United game. I’ve always spoken highly of Liverpool fans, but it’s the quietest crowd I’ve witnessed in this fixture.”

Ultimately, both teams left the match with a point, and Onana’s composed performance contributed to Manchester United’s defensive resilience at Anfield.
