Terrible mistake.
He looked slow to a lot of the shots he has conceded in recent weeks.

Andre Onana made another mistake. Ohnono.

De Gea had a pretty rocky start iirc. Barthez was notoriously unstable - not just for the Di Canio goal, but his general style was so unnerving to watch.
Last year, our main problem was that we couldn't score goals. We got Onana. Now our main problem is not that we can't score goals!
very much Mendy (Chelsea keeper) vibes from him. Hopefully some Saudi team comes in and offers big money.
He came in very confident and playing for this club has broken that confidence. I just hope he has the mentality to play for this club otherwise it's going to look peak. There's no hiding when you making mistakes like that and he could get benched early if it continues
Howler tonight, but really most of the goals were conceding are unsavable. Dave at his best did save a lot of impossible shots but we should protect our keeper more.
I had my doubts when he fell on his arse trying to save Forrest's 1st goal
Tough start for him. He is very composed on the ball but it goes without saying he is struggling in some of the basic keeping departments.
I don't think it was wrong to get rid of DeGea mind. I can imagine some will start to make it about that. But it's not about DeGea, at some point you have to evolve and get better and that needs fresh players. The question is whether we got this one right as a goalkeeping package, has he got the right blend of skills?
I'm okay waiting to see how he develops in a United shirt, though. Early days.

Definitely not unpopular.
Dear gea made errors every keeper does but how many times and points did de gea earn us loads should have paid him the wages he asked for rather than splashing 70 mil on onana
He’s a good keeper. Better than what he’s shown so far that’s for sure. There’s a few players in the same boat at the moment.
He's not a bad keeper, but he's not a good shot stopper and you can't depend on him saving you like what we used to do under De Gea. We have put a lot of money into him to replace him now. Best to just reinforce the defense to cover for his liability and try to benefit from his passing in building up attacks and playing possession football, something Ten Hag is allergic to.
He'll turn out alright, not that worried. We have far more pressing issues in this team to get worked up about Onana.
Onana has played 250 games in European leagues and was nominated for the Ballon d’Or but people act as if he can’t save the ball based off a few games
He’s just made a few mistakes, he’s a good keeper the body of work suggests that.

Frustrating is the word I would use. Because we show promise then feck ourselves.
He's terrible at shot stopping. If the ball isn't straight at him, it's a chance it goes in.
He did, but DDG was very young and was fairly well protected by Fergie, he was dropped for spells
Barthez was hugely popular after his first season before he went shit. if he somehow did manage to put di Camino off it would have been stuff of legends
De Gea made these mistakes when he was past his peak. At his peak his shot stopping ability was legendary stuff.
That's supposed to be Onana's peak.
De Gea is a better keeper than Onana when you compare both at their peak. It's not even a contest.
Replacing De Gea at this point was right but at the same time United is so used to being shit at defense and depending on the GK to pull miraculous saves to save their arse. It's hard to shift from this to a keeper who's mediocre at best in this field. The team will need a lot of time to adjust.
He's a quality goalkeeper and he'll be fine.
Sadly not seen a lot of the positives but a lot of the negatives that were promised when he signed.
It’s been a shite start for most of the players in our shirt though so I’m gonna give him a bit longer.

He's too heavy, that affects his agility and inability to get down quickly to shots which is likely to unnerve him and cause poor errors.
Most of the saves the ball hits him, he doesn't have soft hands. He's an accident waiting to happen every match. Hope this Turkish keeper is up for the challenge because it won't be long before he has to step in.

Not as good as De Gea at saving shots, I won’t have anyone tell me otherwise. Head and shoulders above him with his feet but unfortunately it has made zero positive difference to our play and actually we look worse for it due to others lack of composure and ability on the ball.
What's so annoying is that Alisson or Ederson have never made any mistakes since joining Liverpool or City respectively. Not a single fecking mistake. They've always been perfect, every single game. Especially crunch games.
How can our rivals get it so right and we get it so wrong?

He made a mistake... that happens, DDG made many last season. The team needs to adapt to him. Let's judge him when he's had a run of games in something that would resemble the first 11.
He goes down like a sack of spuds. If the ball is on the floor and not straight at him it's a goal.
Passes like Pirlo
Blocks shots like Beadle
Blocks shots like Beadle
He'll get better.
Interesting. On the contrary, I think we got 3rd last season because De Gea was mopping up for our crappy defense who even at full strength are prone to brain farts. In that regard Onana is specifically to blame because he is a poorer shot stopper than David. He isn’t the insurance policy for our defenders that they rely on.

He is really the best with the ball in his feet. But overall he is just average gk.
He seems so unopposing physically for a goalkeeper. He made a very good save late on but there are early signs of concern with some of the goals he has conceded. And the team has been so mentally fragile for about six months now that any conceded goal has a big knock on effect to the performance level. Need to give him time though.
Don't understand why we gave Arsenal a free run at Raya for half the price, when our transfer budget was already severely restricted.
I guess if Raya had previously had a spell at Excelsior or Go Ahead Eagles, we would've surely been in for him.

We are too shit for that to matter (Onana being good or not good).
Didn't have any connection to our manager.
White text?
Onana is a far better keeper.
He's been fine until tonight's mistake. There has been nothing he could really have done about any of the goals. Our midfield has been non existent and allows about 20 runners at our box every game.
He needs to get his confidence back after being pilloried for his attempted murder in the first game, and his teammates need to stop being so shite.

I don't think replacing De Gea should have been a top priority, I also think he has a lot of improvement to do. However, I like him and I hope he does amazing for us.
Onana is like the blank char you get at the start of a quest rpg that you give attributes to. His footballing stats have been elevated in lieu of his keeping skills.
Someone on here mentioned he never has his feet sorted to make fundamental saving actions. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
