He’s done us a massive favour. I bet there were some people at the club who didn’t see the need to sign another Goalkeeper. But after his comments and today, it needs to be a priority.
They weren't scoring tonight without those two gifts from OnanaLyon were the better team.
It would worry me from a recruitment point of view as it always felt like Fergie and Gold brought in the right type of characters to the club and made sure those background checks were assessed thoroughly and as important as their playing ability. Feels like it's been neglected recently.Fronting out a bad situation is one thing, but actively mocking and goading points toward something more concerning to me - if there's any time to be humble, it's in a game where you've already made a massive feck up, but he doesn't... he gives it the big 'un before making yet another blunder. Unbelievable.
I'm desperate for him to be sold. Can't be dealing with calamitous keepers; they unsettle far too many players.
Yes. I thought he could’ve done better for the Rodri goal in the final tbh. Absolutely rooted to the spot when it was completely telegraphed by RodriWas he like this at Inter?
Ok, I’ve calmed down now. He’s probably not worse than Taibi but feck it’s close.
You can look at it in a few ways like with Casemiro getting done so easily and not brilliant defending but the shot was straight at him. He has previous of parrying the ball in to dangerous areas and done it again. A decent gk does so much better and think he can catch it or stop it dead and fall on it. He saw it all the way through.I agree in that I don't think the 2nd goal was on him. The team was too deep and gave away far too many shots from 12 yards out in the 2nd half. Also leaving Cherki onside too

Taibi was quickly found out and moved on.With Taibi, there was little expectation since he was a bit of an under the radar signing. Onana was supposed to replace De Gea.
Inter sold us this bum for 60M and replaced him with Sommer for 5.
ETH has blood on his hands…

This guy is another untouchable for some fecking reason
Draw was faur result imo. We allowed them too many chances for my liking.No chance. United had a lot more good chances to score than Lyon.
Onana was such a weird signing in every sense. The fact he cost 50m when he moved for free the year before should’ve rung alarm bells.Taibi only made a few appearances because we also had Rai and Bosnich at the time (we bought him after Bosnich got injured iirc) He did get MOTM at Anfield before his howler vs Soton. This guy was supposed to revolutionize us at keeper because people were moaning that Dave didn't have good box presence or distribution - but in the end, Onana didn't really do any of that and we could've just continued with Dave and had similar results.
I don’t think Onana made any saves aside from the one he threw back at Lyon for them to score.They had more possession and more shots.

The issue was errors with De Gea more than distribution, if he kept saving like he did in the mid 2010s with no mistakes then he would never have left, that would have more than made up for his poor distribution. But he made as many mistakes as Onana did in big games at the end.I thought DDG in his last season for us was bad but feck me give me him any day over the clown show we witness on a regular basis with Onana. It’s like starting a goal down most games, any other team would think that’s job done if they score in added time but with him between the sticks you’re never safe until the ref blows the final whistle!
the same summer we balked at 100m for Harry Kane.Yeah its mindbending to think that we wasted over 100m on Hojlund and Onana. Just think of where we could use that money this window.
Agreed. Couldn’t care less how Onana feels. He lost any potential sympathy by goading the Lyon fans and talking rubbish on socials before the game.Why do we care about his confidence? He's a useless keeper, there is no reason he should ever wear a United shirt.
Dump him for the rest of the season

100%. Barthez won 2 league titles. And only cost us Europe in one of the seasons he was here as opposed to both.Would you rank Barthez’s time with us as a better stint than Onana’s current display?
I’ve seen Onana pull off some incredible saves but he is prone to some basic errors and that’s never what you want in a keeper much less a United one.
