Great signing, one of the most talented keepers around. Everyone knows about his footballing attributes, but people are going to be surprised how good a keeper he actually is.

First choice keeper should wear no1. I don't care if he's a massive Kiefer Sutherland fan.
Delighted. Huge missing piece, he is going to revolutionize this united side how we play from the back. We've finally got a top class modern keeper. This is a transformative signing without a doubt. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but this is definitely my favourite signing from United since RVP.
I’ve yet to be convinced by this signing. In ETHWT 
Why should he wear it?

It's written somewhere?
Granted I haven't seen him play with his previous teams, but I'm so hyped about this signing after reading the caf. More than the signing of Mount. Now we just need to secure a great striker. Can't wait to get the new season started.
Awesome signing. Finally we have a keeper who will allow us to play on the front foot.
Yes on the back of first choice Goalkeepers usually.
24 was overrated anyway, it got shit in the later seasons.
Sometimes its written sometimes its not.
Barthez the 1st would be the best keeper in the world these days.
Who cares about a shirt number, are you a child?

He also spent 4,5 years in Barcelona so you can probably add Spanish to that.
His 'why will i be afraid of anyone' interview before the CL final just tells me that wrestlemania will be back in full effect at Old Trafford once again!
Your offence is terrified, André Onana . Sure there will probably be a blunder or two and some heart attacks but I cannot wait to see him play for United.
We've got Onana, Martinez, Casemiro, Antony and Bruno now all ready and waiting to throw down!

You two need to get a sense of humour and learn how to spot the humourous tone in a post.
The 24 and Kiefer Sutherland references were obviously too subtle for you.
Christ, like I even needed to know this guy had an opinion.
Hopefully he settles quickly , the one position where you have to the ground running is keeper , he suits ETH's style much better than DeGea but we will miss DeGea shot stopping in certain games where he has won us pts, I know some are claiming this lad is as good a shot stopper but the reality is that he is not. But his all round game should be a net positive to the team as ETH can rally start to stamp his own style on the team now.
His feeling cannot be horrible since he dislikes United the double chin bell end.
Ups, sorry, I should get my 2nd coffee today it seems.
Welcome, Onana!!
Really thought we were going to continue with Dave for the coming season so happy with this.

Not the version we got.
One of the challenges that Onana (or indeed any keeper coming in) will have is this belief that DDG was still a good shot stopper, when in fact he hadn't been anywhere near his peak since 2018. But every goal that goes in, it'll be "ooh, De Gea would have saved that".
First season, he was brilliant & was in the PFA Team of the Year. Dropped off pretty hard after that though.
De Gea's best quality was his shot stopping though, so it's not a surprise he isn't as good.
It's swings and roundabout's. How much possesion was lost leading to a stop required from De Gea that was a result of De Geas poor distribution? I'd imagine a fair few.
De Gea cost more points than he saved after 2018.
He does speak Spanish
Considering the fee we paid, he was a total flop. After a great first season, he was too inconsistent and his crazy ways made him a liability.
I think goalkeeping was too boring for him.
I'm not 100% convinced that he's going to be great for us yet, but seeing Richard Keys saying this really helps me to feel better. If he thinks Onana will be poor, he'll likely be amazing!
There is certainly going to be a lot of that in the first season at least. While DeGea's consistently in shot stopping decreased there is not doubt that at his peak he was one of if not the best around at shot stopping. At various times last season he still showed that,
My point is that people should not expect Onana to hit those heights when it comes to shot stopping , very few keepers did.
But Onana's all round game should yield us more pts over a season , that is the hope anyway.
That’s a big call !
Is it not written because of the writers strike!!
Not bad, not bad.
It's nailed on that pundits and fans will take a shallow read of his performances and impact on the team, either deliberately because they're ABU cnuts or because they're thick.
"De Gea would have saved that" will become the catchphrase of the season, while completely ignoring any positives Onana's overall play brings to the team. Just like people would say that Ronaldo scored however many goals in 21/22 and we'd be mid table without them, completely overlooking the detriment his lack of work rate and attitude had on our overall performances.
Our job, to paraphrase the great one, is to support our new keeper.

Keys mouthing off against you is the universe's ultimate seal of approval.
Fluent in French and Spanish. English is good with a typical African accent and he also speaks some Dutch, he certainly understands it.
We’ll need a quality striker for that. Concerned that this Hojlund might be all we get.
Let's see how brave he is if the Qataris takeover.
Good ol' hairy knuckles, the piece of shit.
I'm really sure that doesn't apply to a commercial organisation using it to promote their business, which is what this is. Fair usage applies to review of the material and limited educational things.
