He made me think differently: Manchester United's Onana reveals best keeper of all time
Andre Onana has expressed his admiration for Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who he considers the best-ever goalkeeper.
Onana, who has been in fine form in recent weeks, spoke to the club's official magazine, where he lavished praise on the German World Cup winner.
Onana calls Manuel Neuer best goalkeeper in history
"Well, who has inspired me the most?" he told Inside United.
"That is a very good question because, being a goalkeeper and especially trying to be a modern goalkeeper, you have to look to a lot of goalkeepers. If I had to choose one who made me think different, I would say Manuel Neuer.
"Why? Because of his way, the way he plays.
At the World Cup in 2014, I remember, when they won in Brazil. When I was watching that World Cup, I found someone I wanted to look like, he made me think differently.
"Obviously, before him, I was still in the Academy but I had a lot of goalkeepers I was looking up to and who I was thinking of. But, if I have to choose one, I would say Neuer. He made me think differently."
