DEVASTATING NEWS: coming from Fabrizio Romano one of football legends has labeled Manchester united goalkeeper as a liability to the team and has asked for the keeper (Onana) to be dropped in favor for united second choice goalkeeper in the upcoming games ” honestly I don’t want to see him in the starting line up today against Newcastle united he has costed the team a lot”. Erratic Onana, who faces Man United’s drop, is “worse than U18 keeper.”
When it came to criticising Andre Onana's lacklustre performance against Galatasaray, Jamie Carragher did not hold back.
Manchester United could not muster more than a 3-3 draw with the Turkish giants as a result of two huge errors made by the €50 million summer signing. Not only were Onana’s mistakes incredibly painful because of his immature thinking, but the Red Devils had spent a lot of money on him specifically to ensure that he wouldn’t be destroyed by careless decisions in the future.
Even though David de Gea made a lot of mistakes last season, especially with the ball at his feet, the Spaniard was still a reliable custodian. Though his real ability to stop goals has been nonexistent in the Champions League, Onana offers Man Utd something different in the build-up.
The legendary Jamie Carragher of Liverpool stated in his piece for The Telegraph that “it is not sustainable for Manchester United to have a custodian consistently making so many routine errors.” “The longer this continues, the more vulnerable he will become.”
Poor performance
Carragher went on, “The performance for a Manchester United custodian in Turkey was unacceptable.” “You wouldn’t think that Galatasaray’s second goal was caused by an Under-18 custodian making such a simple handling mistake. A young custodian would most likely never play for the first team again if he were promoted and performed like Onana on Wednesday night.”
“United has lost too many easy goals due to Onana. After a dismal start to his Old Trafford career, the hope that the worst was behind him has been dashed, and Wednesday was a significant step backward. Onana’s reputation as a liability has already grown. It will require a lot of time to overcome and turn around.”
“The scrutiny that comes with playing for Manchester United is unavoidable, particularly when the stakes are as high as they were in Istanbul. Big games are decided by narrow margins.”
The former Liverpool player concludes: “Onana must massively improve in the coming weeks and months, otherwise the derision will shift from an erratic keeper to the manager who keeps picking him.”
