Too bad for André Onana. A goalkeeper who was one of the best in Europe is now a burden to his club. He has suddenly lost confidence and his performance is nothing to commend. He usually falls before any strike and has failed to make important saves. I have always complained when goalkeeper engage in risky passes close to their goalpost because a slight mistake can be disastrous. Although Galastataray lost the penalty it resulted in a red card against Casemiro which led to more pressure on the Manchester team. It is a shame to see if the best clubs in the world at the bottom of Group A that have low-rated teams like Copenhagen and Galatasaray. I don't know how long the Glazers will keep Erik Ten Hag as coach of the club. But we saw Højlund showing that the money invested in him was not a waste with a brace but his efforts were not well celebrated due to the loss.
It is just difficult to understand Onana right now. He is a very inconsistent goalkeeper in his career. I mean his performance at Inter was amazing in the previous season. He was one of the players who were talked about because of the number of saves he made in the Champions League. But he is desperate now.
He was like the most responsible player for the loss last night. That misplaced pass cost them too much. If it didn't happen maybe they couldn't have lost the game at least. Now I'm curious about whether ten Hag would give Altay Bayindir a chance in his place. ten Hag is also under pressure these days of course and he needs to try everything he can.
Erik Ten Hag has to think hard about making the club run stable again and be able to perform consistently. Maybe replacing Onana with Altay Bayindir could help Manchester United defense a little because so far Altay Bayindir has not made his debut at Manchester United since being brought in from Fenerbahce in the Turkish super league.
If Erik Ten Hag doesn't act immediately, it's likely that Manchester United will experience difficulties and it will be difficult to get points in the Champions League. Of course this will be a tough consideration for Ten Hag but if it isn't done immediately we all won't know the extent of Altay Bayindir performance.
