This is definitely Manchester United's biggest disappointment of the new season! Priced at 55 million but becoming the worst goalkeeper in the club's history. So, is Onana just out of form or the biggest flop?
This season has been a catastrophe for Manchester United, suffering consecutive defeats in the Champions League and losing as many as 4 out of the first 8 matches in the Premier League. The biggest culprit, apart from the manager Ten Hag, is the goalkeeper Onana.
It's worth noting that Manchester United did not hesitate to let go of their former star De Gea during the off-season, instead spending €55 million to bring Onana to Old Trafford. It was expected that he would become the team's guardian, but he turned out to be the biggest leak in the defense! In the 12 games he has played this season, Onana has conceded an astonishing 19 goals. Not only has he failed to make timely saves, but he has also made various basic mistakes. Manchester United used to place great emphasis on Onana's ability to distribute the ball. In Serie A last season, Onana had a passing success rate of 82%, including a remarkable 55% success rate in passes over 25 meters. This was undoubtedly the level of a top goalkeeper!
Moreover, in the previous season's Champions League, Onana had the highest number of successful passes and saves. These impressive stats also caught the attention of Manchester United's management. However, when Onana arrived in the Premier League, he clearly struggled to adapt. He exposed his weaknesses and has appeared very nervous when facing opponent's shots. Naturally, he has become the primary target of the opposition.
With a string of conceded goals and external criticism, the current Onana in Serie A has gradually lost his confidence. From initially berating his defenders to now bowing his head in silence... If he can't improve his current situation, the 55 million-euro-priced Onana may face a downfall.
At this moment, Manchester United fans must miss De Gea terribly. He used to be the most reliable part of the team's defense, but 12 years of service didn't earn him a contract extension! So, do you think Onana will turn out to be a flop? |
