This is wildly untrue. He's our biggest problem.
Up until recently I thought we’d be best served to keep him, that we have bigger fish to fry, but now I think he’s definitely gotta go. Plus getting a new keeper doesn’t carry the anxiety of acquiring players in other positions to fit a scheme we’ll abandon when we inevitably end up changing managers again.
He's 28? And been in the game for 12 years ish, if he needs to work on that NOW might as well ship him off and be done with it
Ain't gonna work waiting for him to work the basic at top club, that's if he improves.
If he's 28 and doesn't even realized his weakness and worked on it from early on, what are the chance he's good enough to fix it.
Agree with this. His highlight reel from his agents must have been that Champions league game for Inter vs City. To be fair he did play well.
At Utd his passing is erratic at best. What is concerning is the narrative to support him on his shot stopping . Yes the statos will point to this, however look at his technique more often than not he just parries it out rather than stopping it. Take the sting out of the game, regroup and start again.
He’s nowhere tier 1 / Elite level in my opinion
It's hard to explain to people how bad this guy is but he is really bad.
Agree, we have lost at least 5 matches due his mistakes. That's 15 points. We would be 5th in the table today if we win them, if we drew we would have been 11th not 15th. Depressing!
Probably the worst goalkeeper we’ve had in a prolonged first choice role.
Yes, he’s bulkier than most and I think it slows him down. Honestly it feels like he’s got lead feet
Remember people raising concerns about the number of times he parried the ball back into dangerous areas before we were signing him. If the fans could see it just from the YT clips…..
Idk who to blame more. Murtough or Ten Fraud

Yes, very hard to understand this decision.
One of the worse, competing with Hojlund and Casemiro.
He has such an impact in our play, its not even funny.
He dominates no cross. He doesnt deliver well with his feet. He reacts late and sometimes wrongly. He makes serious mistakes with positioning.
No one said it, but he was really bad in the goal. He had to stretch a lot and not touch the bad properly because he was too close to the right post, when the ball was a bit more to the center.
Simply not enough quality.
He's shocking. Shot stopping, distribution, catching. Nowhere near good enough.
One of the worst keepers we've ever had.
I can't bring myself to watch it back but the goal was an ok save but as a top level goalie you need to be pushing that away into a safer area. The defenders were also slow to react though.
The throw to Dorgu under no pressure really epitomises how careless Onana can be though.

That totally fecked up injury time for us that did. They took absolutely ages over that free-kick and we never really got the ball back after.
Never liked him. Worried when we signed him. Big, big mistake..
Can you believe we let DDG leave for free - and paid £40m for Onana?
Fans are hilarious at times. You know players weight are constantly monitored and do you think the club would allow an overweight player to play? Lead feet, people are starting to make shit up....
When did you start watching utd...?
Needs to be moved on, never will be good enough, goalkeeper and striker are the two most important players in a team. Go all out for Martinez in the summer if we can convince him to come, hell i'd actually take Pickford at this point
That's exactly what I'm feeling. I don't consider him to be a terrible goalkeeper, but I do consider him to be limited and with many flaws. His shot-stopping, handling, and command of his box are all a level or two below what you would expect from a top keeper. We brought him in for his kicking ability, but that seems to vary wildly across and within games. The amount of times he punts it long to give possession back to the other team is just exasperating. He doesn't seem to have great in-game intelligence. The back four seem to drop back too quickly, and I think part of that is because of their own physical limitations with their lack of speed, and I also think part of that is the lack of faith they have in Onana. He doesn't claim crosses, which puts extra pressure on the defenders to react to those balls, which they are sometimes/often slow to do.
Basically, we have a keeper that doesn't impose himself, which breeds anxiety to our defenders, who also have their own problems with their slow reactions. I'd love a keeper that really bossed it at the back. He seems timid in comparison.
If we can offload this lump in the summer we would be doing well. fecking awful keeper.
It was a bit over 40m GBP and many here were extremely happy with that deal, having convinced themselves DDG was the scapegoat holding us back - after years of saving our asses and winning up countless points, which Onana is yet to do. It really shows how clueless fans can be and how easy it is to get hyped on the back of a couple of Champions League performances. Then again, fans have every right to be wrong and naive - the scouting department doesn't. So it's a tangible proof of how nepotism and incompetence ravages companies, societies, football clubs alike.
Every time the opposition take a shot I get scared if he is going to let it in or if its going to be deflected by our defenders and Onanas going to go the wrong way or just stand there.
I've never felt that way about other goalkeepers for United even if we had worse.
The nervousness I get from this guy is crazy

Imagine how the defence feels.
They definitely don't play like they're anticipating mistakes from Onana.
his first season was excellent and most believed he was the Schmeichel replacment. He only went to shit in season 2
Onana, is considerably worse than Barthez was at his worse
Agree. Some revisionism with Barthez. He was also a World Cup winning keeper.
Interestingly we haven’t seen Onana go wandering too much, which is where I thought he would get caught out. Instead it’s letting in shots hit at the middle of the goal. He has fundamental flaws to his game that will never rectified, as he has a lack of the correct technique.
The most worrying part is that those fundamental flaws should've been easily spotted by proper scouting.
It was right to move on from DDG, he was clearly no longer the same player, and cannot effectively play in a way a modern keeper is expected.
Onana, and how poor he has been does not change that. What it shows is that we bought the wrong keeper, and would assume we took the easy option (with lack of scouting and analysis) to buy him on ETH’s recommendation.
I don't disagree with the fact we had to move on from DDG, but there was no reason to do it in such a rash and panicky manner, especially with several other areas that needed strengthening. DDG was coming off a bad season and the vibes were all about ball-playing goalkeepers but that 40+ million pounds should've been invested elsewhere, and that was quite clear already back then.
There’s a difference between being good with the ball at your feet and distribution. They get banded together as the same skill for keepers but he’s clearly comfortable controlling the ball and moving it around his box, yet his passing outside of simple short passing isn’t good.
I just can’t believe this is our goalkeeper. What he did last season alone in Europe is sackable.
Romero was a much better keeper.
Now we have two who couldn't lace his...gloves

Can someone please refresh everyone’s memory how Onana is a clear “upgrade” over DDG even in 2025?
Not true, DDG had a pretty mediocre season in his last year here. He was never our biggest issue in 2023.
It's hard to say he's good at anything, he was signed for his distribution but I can't tell the difference between him and Dave in that department
Yet this is the Onana performance thread.
If you're alright with De Gea's last season then why do you dislike Onana so much? De Gea probably made the same (if not more errors) on top of his passing being a massive issue.
Bayindir is a better keeper and should be given a run in the team when fit.
