Pats on each other backs, fist bumps, applause for good passes and saves. Henderson and Onana little bromance

Its the first time I have seen video clips of goalies training. I wonder if the footwork exercises (pass & go) are new because of ETH. Surprised to see that they didnt do any long passes practises.
…in the short edited video.
It’s quite often the case that they don’t include long passing drills in the actual session (so many other things to focus on), but a lot of keepers want to do that after the session has finished.
And sometimes there’s tactical drills with outfield players involved where the play starts from a long kick from the keeper.
I’m sure Onana will do some stuff individually with Rashford, working on the timing of those through balls and runs.

I think keeper training at United used to consist of only shot stopping and booting the ball as hard as possible
Thanks.
As goalies get more integrated/critical into the general play with 'modern football' I hope MUTV will start to show more of it -- and not just the outfield players.
They are very careful what to show and what not to. It's such a competitive game that no team/club wants to give anything away, even a tiny detail. So it'll always be pretty generic when it comes to the footage they let out.
True. Its the same as the training with the outfield players.
How good is he at saving long range shots?
I'm just watching the Arsenal preseason match at the moment, and can't help but notice the midfield containing Mount and Bruno was a bit sloppy at closing down strikes from outside the box. The same thing happened in the FA Cup final and cost us the game. Although I'm sure we'll improve as the season goes on, I think this will be a gap that opposition managers will try to exploit.
I know Onana is on the slightly shorter side for a 'keeper. But does he have the athleticism to compensate?

You want oppo teams to shoot from distance. That means they’re frustrated and out of ideas. Like most keepers, unless they’re a worldie, he’ll most likely save it.
Only if you have confidence your goalie can save the shots! I wouldn't say think Gundogan pulled any worldies back in May.
Prime DDG would have kept a clean sheet that day. I'm just wondering if Onana has the same thing in his locker.
When asked in an interview if he plays with fear, he talked about this last game that he did and afterwards, he thinks "never again" even if he plays Madrid and Barca together. It was the Europa League final he lost against us. Glad we contributed to his career.
Didnt really have an impression about him in that game tbh.

Looking forward to seeing him but i wish he took the number 1 shirt
That's the forbidden flamingo stance if ever I've seen one.
Its so refreshing to see there are still a lot of players who want to play for United and want it desperately.
Yeah I watched that a few days ago.
He comes across as a really intelligent player and his English is absolutely fantastic.
Great to have him here.
Is he likely to play tonight? Will be good to see him at last.
No, he'll play vs Madrid tomorrow night/Thursday morning
Oh right ok thanks
Terrible mistake..
Interesting reading back some of these posts 
Na na, ona na na na, hey hey, goodbye?
Not wrong
Terrible signing.
Read the first few pages and laugh out loud at how wrong we all were.
United have only signed three Goalkeepers that have been up to the required standards since 1991.
I think this was the other way round. What a fecking downgrade. From an actual footballer to a scarecrow. Super disappointed now for new season now.
Not surprised anymore are we? There was a big reason no one was interested in him.
Important as in almost got us relegated.
Nope.
The statement being: we're stupid and will pay over the odds for players and positions we don't need.
Massive shock. Yep!
I bet we'll all take the bore fest back now.
Well he was none of that. Horrible shot stopper, doesn't command is area and is afraid to go for crosses. Not even mentioning his error-proneness.
It was nice
It was massive. Our defenders were nervous throughout the season.
WOW. Finally.
Most excited I have ever been would be to get rid of him now.
I don't believe that anymore.
Another champ!
You were told you were wrong. You weren't! :/
Yep! I think everyone is surprised.
De Gea was shit, Onana was somehow worse. But the real loser here is you..I think this was the other way round. What a fecking downgrade. From an actual footballer to a scarecrow. Super disappointed now for new season now.

Again this is a hindsight thing isn't it? He was very good for Inter the season before, nobody could have predicted how crap he'd be.I think this was the other way round. What a fecking downgrade. From an actual footballer to a scarecrow. Super disappointed now for new season now.

Lock the thread right there.
Would it not make sense selling him, signing Martinez on a free and then going big on another keeper next year when we have a bit more money.
I like martinez but the thing is his contracts runs till 29 for villa.
What a disappointing signing this turned out to be. I expected someone who could help us beat the opponents' press from front with his passing out from the back as a GK. Not only did we not get that, but we also have a ticking time bomb in a position that you can afford mistakes the least.
Oh how freaking wrong I was. Teaches you not to hype up new signings too much.
I don't like Martinez. I feel like he's one of those who is good because the club he's at only allows limited opportunities to showcase to the world that he actually isn't.
A good goalkeeper shouldn't be able to get themselves a maniac red card that ruins their team's whole season, and it also not seem like a particularly surprising thing for them to do
Last weeks final filled me with dread. The feeling of impending defeat was all the more obvious when you see both Shaw and Onana in our starting eleven.
