Onana Admits Responsibility as Referee Ignores Wolves’ Late Penalty Claim in EPL Clash.

Newsonline Nigeria report that Manchester United shot-stopper Andre Onana openly conceded that he was indeed fortunate to escape with a late penalty shout during Monday night’s thrilling encounter against Wolves.

The Red Devils emerged victorious with a hard-fought 1-0 win, thanks to a second-half goal from the ever-reliable Raphael Varane. As the clock ticked down, tension grew at the hallowed grounds of Old Trafford, with Erik ten Hag’s men riding their luck to secure all three points in the face of relentless pressure from their opponents. Onana’s admission adds a touch of humility to an otherwise jubilant victory for Manchester United.

Onana’s debut for Manchester United brought a moment of controversy as he somehow managed to evade punishment for a collision with Wolves substitute Sasa Kalajdzic in stoppage time.

The surprising turn of events left fans and pundits alike in a state of disbelief, questioning the decisions made by referee Simon Hooper and the VAR officials.

After the match, Onana himself suggested that he would have accepted the penalty call, acknowledging the contact between two physically imposing players. His humble response illustrates his sportsmanship and willingness to take responsibility for his actions on the pitch.
