"Manchester United's performance this season has been in a steep decline, and one of the reasons is the acquisition of Inter Milan's Onana for 50 million euros, replacing last season's Premier League Golden Glove winner, De Gea. However, the results have not improved; instead, Onana has repeatedly delivered disastrous performances with numerous glaring errors, leaving Manchester United on a losing streak.

Since Ten Hag took charge of Manchester United, he has been eager to build a solid defensive system with a focus on an excellent ball-playing goalkeeper. Despite being the previous season's Premier League Golden Glove winner, De Gea's poor ball distribution was the main reason Ten Hag sought to replace him, which is why Manchester United invested heavily in one of the world's finest ball-playing goalkeepers, Onana, this season.
"
Before arriving at Manchester United, Onana had an impressive track record. His saves in the Champions League final and his ball-playing abilities dazzled many. In fact, he was the only goalkeeper nominated for the Ballon d'Or this year. So, when he joined Old Trafford, he, like many others, had full confidence in his Manchester United future. However, that confidence quickly crumbled as Onana made multiple basic errors in less than two months after joining, such as the blunders against Brighton and Bayern.

Despite these errors, Onana's ball distribution in these matches was commendable. Some fans argue that Onana's style aligns better with Ten Hag's tactics and that the defensive line as a whole is problematic.

However, despite his ball distribution, Onana's glaring mistakes in shot-stopping, especially in the match against Galatasaray in the Champions League, where he directly passed the ball to the opponent, led to a goal and a 3-2 defeat for Manchester United. Now, Onana faces immense pressure, and Ten Hag faces questions about why he opted to change the goalkeeper, emphasizing the importance of shot-stopping over distribution.

Reportedly, Onana has turned down the opportunity to participate in next year's Africa Cup of Nations to focus on Manchester United and make amends for his errors. Nevertheless, if Onana continues to perform in this manner, Manchester United may part ways with him in less than a year. It's worth noting that De Gea is currently available and could return to take the reins at Manchester United at any time, making the days ahead quite challenging for Onana. What are your thoughts on Manchester United's decision to change goalkeepers?"

To be honest, with so many mistakes, he would have been sacked long ago unless he's related to the team owner. I don't understand how a professional goalkeeper could make such basic errors. It's hard to fathom.

In fact, during the World Cup, the Cameroon coach had previously mentioned Onana's issues and even temporarily benched him because he tended to show off too much. For a goalkeeper, showing off can be a hidden risk. I thought Onana's ball distribution would bring a significant change to Manchester United, but it seems I was mistaken. It appears that his excellent performance at Inter Milan was not solely due to his ball distribution but rather the overall strength of Inter Milan's defense!

De Gea may come with a high price tag, but he has already proven himself to be a world-class goalkeeper. Betting on Onana, despite knowing the issues with the team's defense, is a gamble that might prove costly. It's possible that they'll need to buy another goalkeeper in the winter.

Now that they've changed their goalkeeper, they've come to realize just how good the previous goalkeeper was. Ha!

New arrivals may need some time to adapt and build chemistry; we'll have to observe and assess the situation further.
