Onana is no stranger to Ten Hag playing style at Manchester United because he was previously part of Ten Hag squad when he was playing at Ajax Amsterdam. Ten Hag wish to bring Onana to Manchester United has come true, he can develop the philosophy that was carried out at Ajax with several players he has worked with.
The arrival of Onana ended Manchester United search for a goalkeeper since De Gea departure, the club's management fully supports the project that is being built by Ten Hag to boost Manchester United performance for the next few seasons. Manchester United had to spend a lot of money to fulfill Ten Hag wish, who was very adamant about bringing Onana. The transfer fee paid by Manchester United was 52.5 million euros, making Onana the fourth most expensive goalkeeper in the world.
Onana, is the modern goalkeeper Ten Hag needs in his project with United. this goalkeeper, is part of the system that Ten Hag applies. not only as a gayang guard whose duty is to save, but he also takes part when United build up attacks. Ten Hag, implementing a system that prioritizes technical. plus, with high discipline.
IMO, since the beginning Ten Hag has been in charge of United. it seems he doesn't suit the style of the legendary United goalkeeper De Gea, but that doesn't mean Ten Hag doesn't like De Gea. because after all, De Gea is one of the goalkeepers that The Red Devils always rely on. in fact, he had plenty of momentum to save during his time at Manchester United. sadly, Ten Hag opted for an overhaul of his squad. which in the end, Onana replaced the role of De Gea. doesn't mean, that Onana is better than De Gea. even IMO, Onana has a weakness for highball kicks. Uniquely, Onana is a sweeper-keeper. and this is also part of Onana's strengths, no matter how much United spent to sign him. bottom line, Ten Hag has got the player he wanted.
Well, let's just wait for the players who will be sold by United. and which newcomers will be brought to Old Trafford.
