He couldnt possibly have caught that
Fairly mainstream opinion : Onana isn’t Fabrice Ondoa, or very good

Yes, I know exactly what I saw. As do all of the other people who quoted you. Go and look in the matchday thread, also. It was horrendous goalkeeping.
It wasnt though was it
Could've at least made a better challenge for it, it was a rebound but it was high and slow he could have reacted way faster
He's an absolutely awful keeper, just need to admit it in summer and sign someone else, we can't have this guy in net again next season.
He should have just stayed on his line. What would Morris have done then, was never going to generate any power once he got his head to it. Massive misjudgement from Onana. Garbage.
Stop using common sense, that doesn't work against people who already decided in advance that every goal we concede is Onana's fault.
He was going to transform our attacks because of his amazing ability on the ball and his brilliant passes out from the back. This was apparently the key to solving our inability to score goals. Oh look there we are 10th on the table with goals scored. So he is a shite keeper and his distribution really isnt that amazing. This guy makes Taibi look world class
Nonsense
Not sure he should have come for it but on reflection, would have been critcised if he stayed on his line....
Luke Shaw was in the way, if he had have tried to catch it or punch it he'd have collided with Shaw and lost it anyway.
What he should have done was stayed on or close to his line instead of coming for it.
According to you we're the best team in Europe with the best players in every position with none of them capable of making a single mistake. I'd love to live in whatever fantasy land you've pitched up in.
People in the match day thread are even complaining about his saving technique on shots against him that went wide and that he had covered. You can look at any goal in history and find fault in the goalkeeper if you’re so inclined to.
Exactly, he would be blamed no matter what he did in that situation, he can't win for some people. That is why I want him gone, he deserves better.
Not sure its massive and there was an element of luck given the deflection
Actual utd fans still defending this wally. Ridiculous!
It ridiculous, this forum seems to be full of De Gea fans who will blame Onana for every goal because they cant move on from him and accept that he has gone and Onana is now our first choice keeper.
There are a million gobshites on this forum, I couldn't give a feck who quoted me. There is no way he could catch that ball.
I think hes gonna get blamed for every goal as long as hes here.....are people watching other keepers in the league?
More nonsense
Just because Onana is shite, doesn't mean we shouldn't have transitioned to a modern ball playing keeper.
I didnt say that.
Its not nonsence its facts
Nope. DDG needed replacing but this clown isnt good enough.
People think Onana is shite because they are degea fans is a fact?
What nonsense.So, basically people liked the idea of a modern ball playing keeper and Onana seemed to fit that profile.
It was 6 yards out, he'd have scored either way. He'd have been slaughtered if he stayed on his line.
Pretty much this. It's not Onana vs De Gea for me, neither were / are good enough.
It is a fact though, he gets blamed for every goal we conceed.People think Onana is shite because they are degea fans is a fact?
If we would have signed Allisson or Ederson instead they would get the same stick Onana is getting.
Just feel he'd have had more chance to react to a slower paced header. His decision made Morris' mind up for him.
Exactly.
Fans were right to want to move to a modern, progressive ball playing keeper. Onana being a-bit pants doesn't mean we shouldn't have moved on from DDG.
I feel like when Onana faces close-range shots he completely guesses and doesn't actually attempt to see where the ball is going. He spreads himself randomly and hopes it hits him and either closes his eyes or looks away out of fear of getting hit in the face.
Great goalkeeper would have anticipated the direction and maybe caught it or palmed it out although they might also suffer an injury due to a collision.
Onana did the safe option since united is already leading by 2 nil so he did a starfish save to prolong his career.
Statistically the 5th best goal stopper in the league as of today

Think it was the right call to come for the ball, he just should have come harder and bulldozed everything. If he hadn't come for it the Luton player would just have used his foot instead of his head.
I blame Shaw more for that goal, he lost his man way to easy.

Peter Schmeichel used to do the starfish quite a lot, it’s a 50/50 chance as it makes you bigger against the attempt.
was he not a great goalkeeper?
I wouldn't bother about the goal and if he should come for the ball or not, micro analysing those situations make little sense if a keeper/defense is facing 50 crosses a game.
Would it be a stretch to suggest Onana got us knocked out of the CL?
Not on his own no.
