Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke said he has always been sceptical of the signing of Andre Onana

Transcript

00:00 I got to be careful with my words here.

00:02 But I said at the very beginning when we bought Onana

00:07 is that be careful for what you wish for.

00:09 And I had my reason for saying that.

00:12 And I came under the pump a few times with people

00:15 with my remarks.

00:17 And I stick by it because I think

00:19 that De Gea, for the number of years he's been there,

00:22 yes, as you can see, it's a specialist position,

00:25 as you say.

00:26 You get documented.

00:27 You get called out for making mistakes,

00:28 particularly when you play at United.

00:30 The scrutiny is unbearable.

00:32 And so for someone like De Gea, where

00:35 he's done particularly last season,

00:36 to have that many clean sheets, yes,

00:38 there was errors in between that.

00:40 To win the Golden Glove, I think from a personal point of view,

00:44 I thought was the wrong move at the time.

00:48 But--

00:48 Have you changed your mind?

00:52 I want to give him the benefit of the doubt.

00:54 I really do.

00:55 But he's not helping the cause.

00:56 He's not making it very easy for me to change my mind.

00:59 I think the errors that he's made to this point,

01:02 although we're saying the stats doesn't lie in the Premier

01:05 League, he seems to be doing OK.
