When he was at Ajax and Inter Milan, we all saw the quality of Andre Onana. Yes, he is a good goalkeeper. But somehow when he moved to Man Utd we could see that Onana seemed to have lost his ability as a good goalkeeper. The mentality of a world-class goalkeeper like Onana should be that he can maintain his performance wherever he is.
Onana is a good goalkeeper and I don't deny this fact because I will fail to do this. It's true to say Onana got more attention from big clubs after he had an amazing adventure with Inter Milan in the last season, went to a final match and lost minimally against Manchester City with a striker from Rodri. However, we must consider another fact that one excellent season is not enough to make Onana as a world class goalkeeper. He must prove more and after a transfer to Manchester United and Premier League, we already are able to assess his quality better.
But now I'm starting to think that maybe the real problem is Man Utd's back line itself. Last season, De Gea was also considered to have experienced a drastic decline. And this right could be that the problem is not with De Gea but with Man Utd's back line itself. So the goalkeeper who cannot save the goal is then blamed.
Manchester United have many problems especially in their defense and they can not ask Onana to fix all defensive holes. They need better defenders as well as better whole system too. So far Ten Hag and Manchester United have yet built up a good system with balance between attacking and defense.
Manchester United team is 10th in the points table. The team is not performing very well. It is important for Manchester United to stay inside the 5th place in the points table so that the team can create a chance to achieve something good.
