What a horrible start for Onana, to think he was one of the best goalkeepers in Europe last year.

The hype is what has gotten you disappointed so far. Before he moved to Manchester United, there was plenty hype with the news, but what do the fans really want? for him not to concede even with Manchester Uniteds.poor defence? he is not super man. Onana is just a good keeper with extra passing ability which sometimes becomes a problem also for him, a little wrong decision making in his position which is always a critical one can put his team behind.

The hype was just too much on Onana when he was about to be signed, seeing him concede goals in almost every match played by Manchester United is discouraging, the only match in which he didn't concede any goal was against Wolves, which was their first match. But I don't really blame the goalkeeper, if a club's defense is poor, no matter how good a goalkeeper is, he will be conceding. If Manchester's defense is stronger, I am sure he will be conceding less in matches. Onana is a very good and talented goalkeeper. If Manchester United can work on their defense, then I am sure Onana will be able to perform better for them. I don't see any reason why he should be blamed currently.

That's the thing, the last one to be blamed here for the bad results that Manchester United had so far is the goalkeeper. They have some serious problems with their defense and I am not sure whether this will be solved quickly by Ten Haag. They have had these issues for quite some time now and all the results they had so far were not because of bad luck. It was because their team didn't work well enough for their defense. I think that this year will be even harder for them to finish top four.

We all know that one of the problems experienced by Manchester United is their fragile defense. They improved when they had a new duo, but the fact that they haven't performed consistently every game is a problem too. Now before the league starts and Onana joins the club it's a breath of fresh air for them, and Onana's arrival is also a situation where they have to lose De Gea who I think is still performing quite well.
Now is he (the goalkeeper) to blame when many concede but with a fragile defense? if many blame him I think it is unfair.

But De Gea was a risk factor sometimes. He has made mistakes too often and it was the type of mistakes that just can't happen. Every time I saw a defender passing the ball back to him, I kept my breath and thought ok, this is going to be the next fuck up by him.

But Onana is a good choice although I think that the defense in general hasn't been doing very well. I think when you have some weak players, it also makes everyone else less confident.
