Andre Onana has insisted his rant at Harry Maguire was due to him demanding more from the ex-Manchester United captain.

The new United goalkeeper was left furious with Maguire during a friendly against Borussia Dortmund on Monday night.

After trying to play out from the back, United lost the ball close to their own goal.

A loose pass from Maguire was intercepted while the defender was also out of position.

It led to Dortmund having two chances, the first that Onana saved before the second was blazed wide.

But the Cameroon international, starting his second match for the Red Devils since arriving from Ajax, was incandescent at Maguire for losing the ball.

A clip of Onana rushing out of his goal, screaming at the centre-back, has gone viral on social media.

However, the goalkeeper has explained his actions and has insisted it was because he wants the best from his teammates.

Onana on Maguire: “I try to talk to them a lot because I know he’s a good player, he is one of the captains of the team.

“That’s big and he is good with the ball, so I would demand [from] him a lot and he’s a good, great guy. I have a good relationship with him.

“I have to be and he has to be ready and I spoke with him because when I’m in the goal, I demand to everyone a lot.

“I will start with myself because I think we are in this together and mistakes will come.

“We don’t have to be afraid to make mistakes because this is part of life and we learn from the mistakes.

“So we have to be very critical with ourselves. And if we want to win prizes, we have to demand a lot.

“And for me, it’s a big honour to be here and I’m very happy to work with these guys, Harry is a top guy and a fantastic player. We will move on.’’

United went on to lose to Dortmund in Vegas, where sections of the fans gave Maguire a rough ride.

When his name was called out, there were boos from the crowd before he was shouted at by Onana.

Diogo Dalot had put the Red Devils a goal up before a Donyell Malen double and Youssouffa Moukoko strike saw Dortmund take a 3-1 lead at half-time.

Antony got one back shortly after the break but it was not enough as the German side won 3-2.
