Onana has not worked out. We need a new keeper.

It's his saves to shots ratio that concerns.
Forget about De Gea. Onana will always be conceding silly goals. He just isn’t good. He is another one in the long list of ETH’s ex players that he is obsessed with bringing to Old Trafford. Same will apply I’m pretty sure for another one of his ex players, Amrabat.
Honestly, I’d have done it. He could have given us 2 years and then dropped to be back up or sold. Now we have no cash and no DDG.
United 1 Wolves 0 - Onana clean sheet, Wolves 2 Brentford 0 in April - no Raya clean sheet. A clean sheet in the PL is a clean sheet in the PL. The world’s most elite league after all.
That's the thing though, he'd be unsellable at 200k and then we'd be stuck with a backup keeper on insanely high wages.
You must be trolling, zero chance with the 2nd and 4th goals.
The 1st goal is a howler, but it's literally a trademark De Gea howler. De Gea might aswell sue Onana for copyright. People need to go watch the howlers of De Gea vs West Ham, City, Everton, Sevilla, Brentford last season before they come on here with "De Gea would have saved that".
I'm all for criticising mistakes of our current players but there's no need to re-write history to do it. De Gea was very mistake prone in his last 5 years.
De Gea defenders are deluded. The man is unemployed after being passed over by Madrid and Bayern in favour of Ulreich and Kepa for a reason, shot stopping included.
I watched a video of every shot he faced last season and he is a mediocre shot stopper with a strange technique, but that doesn’t mean he can’t improve. But everything he does gets put under a microscope more than any keeper I’ve seen since de Gea joined United
Yeah the list is a long & worrying one now.
His ratio last year was similar to De Gea and Alisson I believe and far better than Ederson.
I wouldn’t back Onana to keep a clean sheet against either of them, and he isn’t doing what we bought him to do either.By that logic a clean sheet against Man City is the same as a clean sheet against Royal Antwerp. Amazing logic.
He’s sitting back on his line inviting shots he can’t save.
I've noticed that most of the posters who have come to the conclusion that he's terrible are the ones who were adamant DDG was still world class and should have been kept.
He may very well be another Barthez, for some reason I always liked Barthez, from that Monaco game in 97 or 98, always thought he was class. But, we never got to see as much of players outside of live games back then. Hated it so much that he turned out to be shit. But that's beside the point.
If Onana ever tries to hail a taxi when a player is through 1 on 1. Then we'll know.
Are we even benefiting from his passing and distribution right now?
We are not seeing the kind of distribution we saw when he was playing for Inter.
To me, our midfield are not comfortable enough receiving the ball facing goal and they certainly dont want to make space for themselves to receive it.

New club new country and only into his 6th game in his career at United and already opinions like this is formed.
Mods don't we already have Onana thread on here and any such views as from the op can be merged into that thread.

His shot stopping looks to be pretty bad, not just tonight’s mistake. He’s also glued to his line, there was one attack I was waiting for him to just run and slide on the ball but he stood in his line and then lindelof got back and stopped the cross.
I just seen a video showing some mistakes from his past, we’re in for a fun ride.

But it does help not to post embarrassing stuff about him only several games into the season when there was literal proof that he can be consistently great just season before.
Give it till tomorrow morning and there will be 19 separate discussion on it.
Loving the negativity.

Think some watched a few of his CL performances and convinced themselves that meant he was an elite shot stopper. His stats show he's good but not great, same as De Gea of late but Onana will be measured on overall package. Think so many had convinced themselves it would be easy to get a great shot stopper in.
Are you optimistic that we will finish the season in top 4 this season?
Do you believe we will get out of the CL group stages?
Will we see a trophy again this season?
Im not confident.
The only embarrassing thing is how poor we have been this season so far, which is in not small part down to our goal keeper.
So far this season he has been shocking. There were reports we were looking at Onana and Diogo Costa as a replacement. A lot of these signings are really starting to look like only players that ETH has been with before. Was part of his contract to let him have full say on transfers and ignore any analysis from our scouts?
I just watched his post match interview. He owned his mistake and took full responsibility. I like him; let's give him a chance.
Whatever you think about that mistake and it was bad,personally feel he deserves some respect for coming out and owning the defeat
This thread should be called "Massive knee-jerk reaction"
Are you optimistic that we will finish the season in top 4 this season? Yes.
Do you believe we will get out of the CL group stages? Yes.
Will we see a trophy again this season? This is not a certainty even for best teams out there. But sure, some Cup and going very far into CL.
It's got far more to do with missing half the squad through injury or "unavailability" to be fair.
Forgot who that was against, just rewatched it. Somehow worse than Onana's tonight
He's not a good goal keeper. Good with his feet but poor with his hands.
I'm sure these "De Gea saves that" types after every goal we concede either haven't watched De Gea since 2018 or only watch MUTV style 2 minute highlight where any mistakes by a United player are completely brushed over, but a basic save from a shot from 45 yards is replayed about 7 times.Forgot who that was against, just rewatched it.

To be fair De Gea was a good servant for the club, it's only fair that he's allowed to start threads talking about his replacement.
It's not knee jerk at all.
The DDG loyalists have been waiting until there was a goal that was 100% Onana's fault. So they could come out with this nonsense.
I'm not shocked, called it in the summer this reaction would happen very quickly. I'd still have sold De Gea for him though. But it is a frustrating level of errors so far to be fair.
I like the title as it is. But the subtitle is ‘look mum, I can knee-jerk like a big boy too!’
In fairness where else are they going to get their De Gea fix? It's not as though they can watch him play unless they fly a drone over his garden.
Doesn't make sense, because De Gea let in 2 goals like this last season. He did it against Brentford and West Ham. The guy hasn't been a good shot stopper since 2018.
More disappointed with DeGea than ever, wasting his free time on here and what type of poor thought out username is plant0x84?
I respect that he came out and apologised and is willing to admit he's the reason we lost tonight (even if that isn't 100% true). Don't think I ever saw Maguire/De Gea et al do that even once over the years over individual errors in the amount of games they cost us.

Thread is about Onana being poor. If you look at my OP DDG wasn’t even mentioned.
There was a period under Ole/Rangnick when Maguire made a ‘sorry we’re shite, we let you down, it won’t happen again’ speech to the media every week. I’m sure there was a thread about how tiresome it became on here. ‘Stuff your words to the media lads, how about you do your talking on the pitch, capische?!’
Have any of those posts that you have quoted from the fifth page of a thread quoted you or even responded directly to you?
Unpopular opinion, but I still have faith in him. He isn't a world class shot stopper and that first goal tonight is inexcusable. However, if we grow as a team he should expect to have a lot less to do. He is very good on the ball and did actually make a few decent stops tonight in addition to dealing well with a few crosses.
