Needs to be gone in the summer. Has played a significant part in a decent chunk of the goals we've conceded

I defended him last year a lot. Simply because my closest friend is a true Inter fan, and I trust his footballing knowledge. My only game that I watched of him was the Champions League final, and his ball playing was phenomenal.
Onana never had these mistakes in him at Inter. The only thing that was somewhat of an issue with him at Inter was that he sometimes was getting the rebounds from shots back in dangerous areas. Even in more detailed highlights, you can see that. A problem that still persist with him. Inter was solid defensively, and they are not getting as many shots on goal as we are, so this may have masked some of the issues.
However, now, whether it's because he has made howlers often, we now look at every goal conceded under the "could he have done better" microscope. Second goal, you should never lose the flight of the ball. If you look closely, he dives very close to where his feet are, not covering the goal. And it's not just today.
He might get next season, Simply because we won't have the budget to replace him. But a competition is needed.
We need to start someone else in EL. The games are too important to lose on stupid mistakes.
As pertinent as the budget is, I think we will see some movement on the goalkeeper front because it's just so urgent, but I don't think we will get someone who is particularly fancied due to those constraints. I personally think we should go for Diego Costa but we can't really expect to compete for him. It will just be a relatively dull appointment who will be more reliable and steady.
James Trafford is a good shout for his age and English league experience, but maybe they will go for someone more experienced like Jan Oblak who's been around the block and could offer short term stability and nous. Nick Pope is another decent goalkeeper who might be available for a decent fee. It's pretty underwhelming but that's where we're at right now and we need someone who's simply solid, has experience, and won't cost that much.

Can't think of any quicker way of improving the entire defence than shifting this guy.
Been a terrible purchase, no need to persevere and make it worse, just get rid.
Let's concentrate on being solid.

A new keeper HAS to be the clubs main priority this summer.
Every single time the ball is in our box I expect our net to ripple. Fills no fans nor his defence with confidence.
He’s making mistakes every single game and now it feels like every single goal is ‘iffy’.
He’s nothing short of an absolute clown, he’s cemented himself comfortably as our worst ever keeper.

Mount.
Mount is Ten Hag’s (and the clubs) worst ever signing.
Also, Onana is a worse signing than Antony or Hojlund.
This feckin guy man. Bring back Vitek. Or Kovar. feck it, recall John O’Shea from retirement. Anybody but this clown, I can't stand seeing him in goal for us. We may as well just start every game with a 2 goal deficit.
I agreed with the idea that Onana was shit but that we had bigger issues to sort out so he'd probably get another season as number 1. But I think he's been so embarrassingly bad for the last few months that it's now become an urgent priority to replace him.
We cannot go into next season with him as our keeper. He's absolutely dreadful, and it feels like he's somehow getting worse every game.

I wonder why the journalists don’t ask Amorim about Onana during press conferences. Surely everyone sees he’s a liability right?
Easiest position to fix and all we need is cromulent, vaya con Dios, Onana. Thanks for setting the bar so low that Anders Lindegaard would be an upgrade and you've distracted from the fact that we have no #9
Glad to see more coming around to the fact that a new GK is an absolute priority in the summer. If there's 1 thing I learnt about United as a kid, even during our lean years we've always had standards for our #1. It's a big reason I supported this club.
Bad form, average goalkeeper, but id bet that he will stay as #1 goalie for at least another season. We don't have the funds to replace him and good goalies are hard to find anyway. And it won't change much in general play.
If we can address the CF, CAM, RWB, and cover for Ugarte and still have money left over them by all means, replace Onana. But he's 5th priority for me.

The defense will never be solid with him behind them. He needs to be gone as our number one priority. Every week he's making it more and more obvious.
His continued mistakes have to be effecting our defence too. How do you feel confident with Edward slippy hands in goal behind you.
And here we thought he'll come in and allow us to score more goals.
Didn't even notice during game but hilarious that he was caught out behind net getting drink. You'd think he would be making sure people are where he wants them and preparing for a corner but nah it's hydration time
You simply can’t do much when your gk makes mistakes game after game
The issues are exacerbated when your gk can’t do the basics right
I am one of those believing it. Unfortunately, the reality is completely opposite. Gifting goals consistently!
I don't think I've seen a worse keeper play for this team. Please Amorim, the league is over, just give someone else a shot for the rest of it. He literally has a minimum of one howler per game.
He should be priority number 1 to upgrade on this summer. No team can function in even at 50 per cent with a keeper this bad.
Worst keeper I’ve ever seen at United. There was a time when keepers like Howard made one big mistake and it was noteworthy and sale worthy. This guy is a goal concession machine and I feel nothing.
Handling poor, presence zero, authority over the area poor, communicating with the defence crap, mistakes galore. Needs to go asap.

He will cost Amorim his job if he keeps Onana next season. It kills the teams momentum and confidence to have a poor keeper.

Can't forget how he single handedly knocked us out of the Champions League last season. I mean, has any player actually achieved that before?

The guy lacks so much basic fundamentals of a GK on this level you got to wonder how he actually conned everyone to be a number 1 GK at top clubs like Ajax, Inter and us.
Him yelling at Maguire during his first ever game for us is looking hilariously silly now. To think at that juncture we all thought that he was some elite pro keeper that we needed but in reality turned out to be an absolute clown in goal.

Sorry but second goal is a routine save where the defender drives the attacker out of the ball trajectory to allow the keeper to comfortably collect the ball
Maybe I'm being naive, but for the very reason of the first goal, you're supposed to play a backpass to the keeper next to the goal, not towards the goal
He’s crap - add goalkeeper to the list of priorities for the summer.
First season was poor, thought he was maturing a bit this season but the form since Christmas has been poor.
A month or two ago he was in the "not good enough but there's more pressing problems" basket. Never going to be good enough, need to move on. The one bright spot is we didn't give him an out of this word salary, if the media figures of 120k a week are correct, he should be sellable. Get Alty gone too.

Onana is shambolically bad. I was dumb founded by the signing, classic United paying £60m for someone who went on a free the season before. He is ETH all over, the worst judge of a player in a supposedly top level manager in history. Plenty of others pointed out his fundamental flaws, which were never going away. He constantly palms the ball back into dangerous areas, even when he makes a save. As for ball playing its woeful. The obvious singing at the time, available for half the money was Reya. PL proven, good on the ball and a genuine sweeper keeper. Sure he had a rocky start but he's been solid since.
Basically his Utd career.
A keeper needs to be consistently solid especially at a club like ours. He just doesn't have the technique or mentality unfortunately.
My biggest concern with him is his lack of guidance and communication.
How would someone like Schmeichel and Van der Sar have delt with a situation like that first goal yesterday towards a 20-year old making his home debut? Onana doesn't like he is giving any instructions to Dorgu in the situation. He can see the threat and has the ball coming towards him. Dorgu is obviously at fault here aswell, but as a coach I would be very dissapointed with my keeper, a senior player and supposed leader, in this situation.

I agree. Communication is key in situations like that. A simple "KEEPER!" from Onana and the goal would have been avoided. Dorgu is obviously also at fault for not having the slightest overview over where his teammate is.
Like I said last night, I had flashbacks of Barthez against La Coruna.
The guy's a liability, but no way Amorim will give Bayindir a chance to play in the EL, so we're stuck with him.

I would play Elyh Harrison over him from here on out. I'm not joking. We're going to lose most games anyways.
Not buying it. Onana is far worse than Mount. At least Mount is not actively costing us games and goals.
The Mount signing has more factors involved that make it a worse signing…
He cost us £60million, on a 5 year deal on £250,000 when he had just 1 year left at Chelsea!?
He also had a injury riddled last season there and many of us were sceptical about his injury problems… those who were, turned out to be right. The worst thing above all that is the fact that even if he was fit he was never going to play in his best position under Ten Hag. So we did all this for a player who basically had no use to us…
Onana and Antony are crap players we wasted money on, but Mount was a worse business decision than them both, on and off the field.
