Looked like he was concentrating on keeping it simple and not making mistakes which is totally fine by me. His confidence has been knocked and he needs to build back up slowly, but living in Milan I saw plenty of him so I'm certain there's a very good keeper in there.

Teams seem to figure that just letting us pass at the back and marking our attackers would be sufficient enough to frustrate us.
In this game, we move the ball so slow. Someone like McTominay had very little influence in the build up, while Bruno had a disastrous overall performance. Rashford being Rashford. Even when Maguire played well, he took too long on ball. Lindelof, Evans, Dalot, Amrabat are similar to lesser extend.
Injury crisis and silly squad building with wrong priority leaves us again with plenty of round holes and square pegs on the team.
Surely there was another keeper that’s good with the ball at his feet but better at shot stopping than Onana.
It also lend itself to Inter as a team is very good defensive that reduce City to 4 shots on target (7 total): Haaland shot from narrow angle straight toward Onana, KDB tame shot, Rodri goal, and Foden shot after a little solo effort. Onana performance has more to do with his ability with the ball at his feet. Sheffield United got 6 on target on Sunday (with 12 shots in total), and plenty other opening that they misplaced passes thus failed to get more shot off.
Can't expect us to defend that well with injuries of our key defenders, and team overall poor form.

We wanted a ball playing keeper but don't have the defenders to play that style, even when all are fit. Our first choice back 4 would be AWB, Varane, Martinez and Shaw. Only Shaw and Martinez are comfortable receiving the ball from the keeper.
He does seem to read penalties quite well. Got very close to both the ones he’s faced so far. What’s his record like in shoot outs?
Man Utd 1:0 FC Copenhagen

A man reborn

Fair fecks to him. Saved the club an insane amount of embarrassment
Delighted for him
Don't want to exaggerate or anything but he's the best keeper in the world.
Get in Onana lad
Made up for him, he needed that.
Say nada!
Hell of a turnaround. From getting jeered by fans for his wayward kicking in the first half, to raising the decibel levels beyond legal limits with that save. Wow. Only at Manchester United
You called it
His season starts.
Fecking class!
This has to be his turning point.

Happy for him. Only a matter of time.
Yes! 
Best performance tonight. Confidence boost
Already a bigger Man Utd legend than De Gea.
Great for the lad. Let's hope that's a turning point.
Finally arrived and was brilliant tonight. Let this be the moment.
Baller!
Always said he was a god among men
Never a pen.
2 crucial saves tonight.
Hopefully a turning point.

Brilliant save. Saved us from going out of the UCL at this stage.
His shot-stopping was good all game, the first time he looked consistently like a competent keeper.
If that doesn't kickstart his career here I'm not sure what will
Looked good for the most part today, not just the penalty save

That will do wonders for his confidence
Well, well, well.....
MOTM
Buzzing for him

There we go lad. Brilliantly done.
He goes the right way for them from what I’ve seen so I was quietly confident. Fantastic save and very happy for him.
