Anyone have suggestions for replacements?

I liked Costa when we were shopping about, but have no clue how he's developed since, and he didn't look great against us (only one game of course).

I think Hermansen at Leicester has potential, but feels like it might be a bit soon for a big move. But then we're 14th, so..

Maignan seems unrealistic. Chevalier at Lille was being talked up as having big potential though and Lille have a great track record for finding talent recently.
 
Not just the penalties, he basically saved argentinas World Cup with that save in the dying seconds. Everything seemed to go right for him.
I would have taken him last year in a heartbeat after the World Cup. I haven’t seen him this year and also didn’t realise he was that old.

We need to replace Onana with someone though
I don't think it will be Ineos priority (fingers crossed I still think this in 2 hours) but there's no harm going for a young keeper the club genuinely thinks could be top level now - it's almost pointless having Bayindir from what we've seen, there must be a 20 year odd old keeper with huge upside like Atubola (22 and starts for Freiburg), Restes (19 and starts for Toulouse) - these are random names but they must have something to be starting in good leagues at such young ages.
 
Man Utd 0:2 Newcastle New
Was it too much to ask for him to sort his feet out and dive to stop the Isak goal? Since we signed him, we condede far too many goals that aren't remotely close to the corner of the goal.

The 1st goal was right at him and not even that low to the ground
Wasn't exactly commanding for the second one either.
Yeah, really surprised he didn't catch them with 1 hand whilst eating an apple...
 
I know there was this idea that Onana shouldnt be looked at as a quick sale as this moment; but i think this is personally changing for me.

I'd sell him as quick as possible be that January or Summer.

He is letting goals go past him for fun, shots that are central, from corners, easy saves, no control of his box - we might aswell not play with a goalkeeper and play another defender to provide us defensive support.

For me, he is one of the main players i'd sell as soon as possible - maybe we can target another goalkeeper instead of selling him so that Onana is shifted to the bench instead which would make him crave a "new challenge" himself.
 
Players are trying to score directly from corners against him….thats like embarrassingly shit

Mediocre keeper but anybody could have told you that. He got signed because he had a decent CL final against City which again is a fecking joke
 
Worst Keeper in Utd that got 50+ games....I know some don't rate him but behave. You know he's played in a CL final, can't be many keepers that's done that....didn't cost inter and most would argue he played a big part getting them there.

Loris Karius for one,

Onana is useless, it’s baffling that there’s people who rate him

Strange that he also got in that years CL team of the season since apparently he is mediocre and only had a decent final. Maybe you shouldnt overreact or write your opinion as if it is a fact.

He had a very good year for Inter. Had a difficult start at Manchester United and was pretty horrible in Europe. He was quite a bit better after he returned from Afcon. He started this season very well but right now isnt at his very best. Overall a good goalkeeper, not a world class one but not exactly the first player that needs to be replaced.

You don’t judge a player off one season though that’s where we keep going wrong. I said this when the links started that he’s not good enough, his time at Ajax ended exactly like his time here where the mistakes and mediocre performances outweigh the odd decent game most of the fans gave zero fecks about him leaving

To be beaten by 2 corners in a week then the goal against Forrest…a top keeper isn’t making those mistakes over a 2 season period never mind a couple of weeks

I wouldn’t mind he’s supposed to be a progressive sweeper keeper and he’s not even that great with the ball at his feet

Over a full season he’s guaranteed to let you down multiple times because ultimately he’s not good enough
 
It was clearly a mistake to bring in Onana, but the rebuild doesn’t begin with replacing him. But when that time comes, we must prioritize shot stopping and command of the box over footwork.
 
Onana makes our defence look much worse than they are . Not athletic and overweight to be a goalkeeper at 15 stones 93kg . Priority needs to be a new goalkeeper not a new striker .

I think that he IS at his very best.

And that's the problem, his very best isn't good enough.
 
I think some are arguing about an Arsenal corner where some thought he should’ve done much better. Others can’t tell the difference between him and Bayindir.
Both keepers were fouled on those direct goals as well. The Arsenal goal, as with other goals we've conceded from set pieces, had a lot to do with how we defend them.
There's a clip showing 4-5 Arsenal players running from the back post past Maguire to challenge for that corner. We didn't have a good set up to stop them.

Bayanidir was clearly fouled. Onana was not.

Bayindir was a clear fouls. Unaure about Onana. He’s a big lad, impose himself more. If he loses out, go down and yell at the ref for VAR. that’s unfortunately the name of the game.
 
Guy clearly bumps into him from behind, making no attempt to play the ball as Onana jumps for the ball. It's an obvious foul.

Guy stood his ground. We may not like it, but there is no buffer zone around a keeper as there is with a player attempting a throw-in or a free kick.

Apologies for the robot commentary. You could maybe argue the guy in front is just standing his ground, the second guy is definitely not though. He just bumps Onana from behind as he jumps.

Trust me, I wish the goal were disallowed but I have to stick with the reality of what happened on the play. Ugarte pushed the Wolves player into Onana from behind. If a foul had been called there's no chance VAR would have overruled the referee's decision, but VAR was never going to disallow the goal where the keeper's teammate was the cause of the contact into the keeper and the on-field decision of the referee allowed the goal.

The vastly better argument against the referee's decision to allow the goal was the olimpico on Bayanidir, during which time a Spurs player clearly impeded the keeper's ability to raise his left arm, with no United defender anywhere the play (which itself is a criminal offense) to cause the Spurs player to impede the keeper.

Are you saying that a player jostling with another player can't foul the keeper? There's nothing illegal about what Ugarte is doing and it doesn't mean the player has to go into Onana like that.

It was a foul and we have seen them given for less. Just doesn't fit the narrative cause people want rid of him. Whether he is good enough or not, let's stop making shit up to suit.
 
He was good up until the last month or so this season. I've defended him before, but he's been poor for quite a few goals in games recently. Particularly corners, I can't stand weak goalkeeping on set pieces. Seeing rumours Amorim wants him either gone or better competition for him.

Can't disagree with any of that, if you were to take over a team and to see your keepers perform like he and Bayindir have been, then that's probably one of the first areas you'll look to address. He's been let down by these two big time.

I agree that it could easily have been a foul, but sometimes those are given and sometimes not. Arguably not a clear and obvious mistake.

Either way, Onana does very poorly in that situation. He needs to wither impose himself or simply show the ref that he is being pushed into the net or something. Either or - now he just looks like he didn’t do much.

That being said, our defense needs to sort this out, and the refs need to sort out if bulldozing at corners is ok.
