The nomination list for the prestigious 2023 Golden Ball award has been officially announced, and there is a significant absence of players from Manchester United.
In this list of prestigious titles, there is only one player representing the famous Mancunian team, and that is goalkeeper Andre Onana.
Andre Onana, who joined Manchester United in the summer transfer window with great expectations, has had a tumultuous season. The Cameroonian goalkeeper has shown stable performance for the Red Devils, and he has been given the opportunity to play regularly.
Despite only having just joined Manchester United, Onana has quickly shown his reliability and ability to help the team keep clean sheets. His excellence as a goalkeeper has helped Manchester United significantly improve their defense and maintain stable performance during the season.
However, the fact that there is only one Manchester United player on the nomination list has made many people question the diversity and excellence of this team. While competitors from other clubs such as Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid have contributed many candidates for the Golden Ball title, Man United is only represented by goalkeeper Onana.
