Mistakes are costly and somebody must pay. However, the best time to correct a mistake is before it is made.
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. Mistakes are a part of being human.
However, Andre Onana has one “absolutely crazy” quality, but Andy Cole predicts he will “make mistakes” for Manchester United.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper, who has been recalled by his national team this season, completed a £47 million ($60m) move to Old Trafford from Inter Milan during the summer transfer window.
He has endured a testing start to life in England – with a pre-season outing that saw him lobbed from the halfway line being followed by criticism of performances in the Premier League that have seen him concede some questionable goals.
Onana is, however, still finding his feet and Cole believes that the 27-year-old will prove to be a shrewd addition to the Red Devils squad.
He is always going to have an error in him, which may prove costly at times, the club believes.
Crazy Distributions
But his distribution is expected to serve United well, as they continue to play out from the back.
Former United striker Cole – who formed part of the club’s Treble-winning squad in 1999 – has told Betfred that “His distribution’s absolutely crazy.
“As a player in a team, regardless of whatever position you play in, you’re going to make mistakes from time to time.
“That’s part and parcel of football. I watched him during Manchester United’s pre-season tour.

“His distribution is absolutely ridiculous, and he seems like a very commanding goalkeeper.
“It’s been a difficult start for him as there’s no way he would have thought that he would have conceded so many goals at the start of his Manchester United career, but he’s a very, very good goalkeeper.”
