[Alemar]

He needs to be benched with immediate effect. Let Altay play the remainder of the games this season, enough is enough

 

[Solius]

It’s got to be confidence zapping to have someone like that in the team. Seriously, trust is built upon performance. Equally, it is lost upon them, too.

Yoro and Zirkzee have a right to be aggrieved, but obviously it’s not something that can be aired. Over time it can manifest as resentment, and Onana doing us out of European competition once more would surely tip the scales for his teammates, if they’re not already done with him.

I mean look at Maguire hacking it clear instead of letting it roll to Onana. They don't trust him and as a result they second guess things like that.

 

[Lentwood]

What veteran goalkeepers are available?

There must be a whole host of 32 year old + international or former international goalkeepers playing across Europe right now.

We don't need them to be the long term solution, just someone cheap who can come in next season and make basic saves for a season or two

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Good morning to everyone but Andre Onana, the fat dosser.

 

[Brand Nubian]

Seen some incredible comments saying he is the least of our concerns.

He is topping the table for me. Costing us more games than imaginable

I have seen worse There're some posters, I think in Osimhen transfer thread, claiming that just by signing this centre forward, United will easilly become top 4 team next season.. As if just a mere presence of a quality striker up top will make Onana stop spreading panic at the back/making ridiculous howlers.

 

[Sarni]

If you're going to make a permanent change of No.1 you have to pick the right moment. From the position of strenth if you will. That moment was after Bayindirs heroics v Arsenal. Much easier for Amorim to say "Well, Altay deserves another chance after that performance" rather than "You are fecking shite André so Im dropping you".

If that change is made now it'd also put an extra pressure on turkish fella to deliver straight away. After that Arse match AB will have had more leeway even if he made a mistake or two in following games. It would also help a bit in negotiations with possible suitors (if there'are any). Not dropped because of being a calamity but 'cause Bayindir is in better form.

Not young anymore to learn the basics, big wages, and even some stupid Saudi clubs will be warry of Onana's doping fiasco. Add that PSR/FFP thingy and its clear that men in suits will have a massive job on their hands to get rid of Eric's clown.

Anyone have that older clip with Onana doing some United interview? He was asked to explain some of his howlers and whether its not a dent on confidence in his ability. With a big smile on his face, he went: "Naaaaah, you dont go from the best player in the Champions League final to a poor goalkeeper." Arrogant gobshite.

There's zero chance of him getting replaced right now. He will play every game between now and the end of season, bar maybe a couple of league games where we go with our second string team. We might look to replace him in the Summer but it probably won't be high on our priority list.

He's absolutely horrible and cannot be relied on at all but we are probably stuck with him.

 

[Reverend Red]

I can forgive a lot of sketchy play, I’d make a terrible coach, but I would not stand for off pitch comments that puts a target on the team’s back. Onana will likely start all the remaining matches as Amorim is very hesitant to switch up but he must put his team in position to win. Onana owes his mates and only a win next week with strong play is acceptable.

Transfermarkt list the following keepers as having contracts expiring in 2026:

Donnarumma
Courtois
Maignan
Ederson
Kelleher
Pope
Ortega

All definite improvements on Onana, but doubtful any of them are actually attainable. Insane that some of these players are backup keepers.

 

[Vault Dweller]

I really like we go and take a 32 years old GK like Sommer and VDS who has refined his game. They will bring so much stability with young defenders in front of them.

Indeed. It would help a tremendous deal with young defenders like we have.

 

[Mike Smalling]

Watching them again, I think a lot of better goalkeepers could also have made the mistake for the second goal. That's a really powerful shot from close range - it's tough to deal with. Of course, he needs to do better, but it's the first one that's truly criminal to me. Amateur level keeping.

 

[hasanejaz88]

We signed Onana for 45m and Inter replaced him with Sommer for 5m who is twice the keeper.

Just let that sink in

A better question is to compare how both performed at Inter. We can't ignore the additional pressure there is for playing at United, though Inter are in their own right a massive club I think the scrutiny that happens for an English team is different given the larger audience.

Sommer himself was prone to gaffs at Gladbach and so I wouldn't be surprised if he took would have some shaky moments here.

 

[Wilt]

Another pile of transfer money down the bog

 

[Crashoutcassius]

A decent keeper might be 10 points a season or more for us, as well as giving us a chance in knock outs

Thing is a lot of better keepers might make that same mistake for the same shot sometimes... But with Onana you know he'd do that exact same thing every single time.

Parrying the ball into dangerous areas is basically his speciality at this point. So much so that they'll probably need to add a button for it in the next FIFA game.

 

[Hal9000]

Every keeper makes mistakes, but this lad does seem to make mistakes when we really need him not to which isn’t a great attribute to have.

It's not just the mistakes, it's the cockiness that he shouldn't have. He made those comments before the game, and it bites him in the ass. We go 2-1 and he's staring down the home fans and cuping his ears... Clown.

 

[Cee90]

Woke up this morning still fuming at Onana

 

[Stobzilla]

First one was terrible.
Not having the second one.

First one was AWFUL though.

Agree. He's awful. I think we genuinely have one of the worst goalkeepers in the league at this point. It's shocking.

 

[Woodywizz]

Sick of seeing him roll the ball forwards a couple of feet with his studs whilst surveying passing options, to then inevitably pass it sideways to one of the full backs at the last moment as one of the opposing team closes him down.

I genuinely think he couldn’t give a feck whether we win or lose a game as long as he can stroll around being a fecking liability whilst being paid a fortune.

 

[Agila Dathi]

You need not wait for Mount, as he’s fit right now. Just like Hojlund and Onana are.

Well he might be fit to play, but will he gain match fitness before getting injured again?
I really want him to succeed here, but his injuries are starting to remind me of Jones and Hargreaves and I doubt he will ever be usefull for us.
One can hope though

I don't think it is a mistake though, the second one that is.

It is the equivalent of trying to save a penalty where the ball already has momentum with potential obstacles in front of you, every keeper would want it back, but I am concerned about why my defenders are just staring at Cherki and not following in.

Go check out what kind of save de gea made last night. Much closer, much more powerful, and got it away from danger with his legs.


I dont think you're being honest with yourself if you aren't classing it as weak goalkeeper on Onanas behalf.

I'm not particularly interested in what save De Gea made.

I think Onana is a terrible goalkeeper that made two mistakes last night, with the first one being much, much worse than the second. That's it.

 

[Tarrou]

man, I don't wanna be too harsh, but he's gotta go

our defence will never settle with him behind them

 

[Fortitude]

I mean look at Maguire hacking it clear instead of letting it roll to Onana. They don't trust him and as a result they second guess things like that.

Yeah we went to jelly for a bit after his blunder. Understandably so.

 

[Swordsman]

is Onana the worst united goalkeeper ever ? worse than bosnic, taibi ?

 

[fps]

He's got the yips hasn't he. Can't have a ball near him, he's mentally shot, and running his mouth was a front for this terror he seems to feel when the ball is near him. There's no coming back from that state, he needs to be gone.

 

[fps]

is Onana the worst united goalkeeper ever ? worse than bosnic, taibi ?

Ferguson saw Taibi didn't have the mentality for it and that was it. Yet with Onana we persist, and have spent a fortune on him. The mind boggles, it's a good example of what can happen though.

I always thought Bosnich was a very talented keeper, top level, it was his private life that did for him.

 

[GoldanoGraham]

No way worse than Taibi - he was shocking.

Also remember Jim Leighton - was in terrible form - shocking in the FA Cup final against palace and Fergie dropped him for the replay - he was finished after that.

Big decisions by a big manager needed.

realistically United can sign pope and ortega

Onana can't catch a ball to save his life. I know which I'd prefer.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Taibi lasted 4 games and I think Bosnich was basically half a season.

Onana has been the first choice keeper and played almost every game for 2 seasons. That's why I think he's the worst.

Plus he cost £50m.

 

[Swordsman]

Barthez and Howard are much better than Onana ?
Ben Foster ? Roy Carroll ?

I hear this footwork is what we paid the vast majority of the transfer fee for. How incredible he is on the ball, rolling it to a fullback with no oppo player within 20 yards of him.

 

[MadDogg]

I always thought Bosnich was a very talented keeper, top level, it was his private life that did for him.

Plus injury. Bosnich started having a lot of hamstring problems right after joining us, to the extent that at times he could barely kick the ball without pulling up lame.

That's a good point. I loved him when I was a kid, he had real style and pulled off some incredible saves at Villa. I can at least see why Fergie believed in him. Onana I cannot see why we ever were in for him. I'd deffo want to play cards with the Man Utd management and director teams. They get taken to the cleaners time and time again.

so compared with other GK who have played at least 1 full season

Barthez, Tim howard

im old fashioned. goalkeeper 1st priority is to keep the ball out from the net.

 

[MadDogg]

fair point.

Barthez, Tim howard

Both of whom had good (borderline very good) first seasons before they then fell away and became weaknesses.

Onana looked for a while like he was going to do the opposite and have a poor first season then come good in his second, but unfortunately that good form only lasted 3 or 4 months.

Barthez was such a charlatan. Onana feels like a modern version of him in some ways.
