Aston Villa coach Unai Emery has picked Andre Onana as one of Man United's most important players ahead of the Reds visit on Sunday.
According to the Spaniard, Onana is fantastic in build-up play hence must be stopped to disrupt United's rhythm.
He said: "We have to try to stop them (United), starting with the goalkeeper because his build-up is fantastic. Their centre-backs like to play, building up and controlling ball possession, trying to get good combinations on the pitch.
"Luke Shaw is very dangerous and Diogo Dalot is in a good moment. Casemiro is a very important player for them; they have very good wingers and strikers and that is my concern."
Onana has struggled to win over United fans. In an error-laden seven months, he has kept only 10 clean sheets in 33 games, conceding 32 times in the Premier League alone.
However, the Cameroonian was solid in the win over West Ham, picking up his seventh clean sheet in the league. Only Everton's Jordan Pickford has more (8).
While his shot-stopping ability has been doubted, Onana is very much comfortable on the ball as highlighted by Emery.
