Manchester United have only Onana and Altay as the goalkeepers they could make use of. They really don't have any chance other than trying both of them and giving more chances to the one who performs better. Therefore I hope to see Altay being given some chances as well. I mean Onana is still playing the same.

While he is performing poorly I don't think it is logical to be stubborn about continuing to use him in every game. Altay has been a promising goalkeeper so far as well. In this situation I believe he deserves a chance. Let's say he played worse than Onana can take the shirt back from him.
Yes they should do that, should give their second goalkeeper more chances after Onana's poor form so far. Now the options are not many for them and they must have a firm stance on this. Erik Ten Hag has to do something to turn them around, because I haven't seen anything special from Manchester United so far.
The fact that they let David de Gea leave leaves them with little choice. But it's not good to regret everything, because what they should be thinking about is how they can get up, not necessarily quickly, but slowly but surely.
Onana should have been the solution after Manchester United management kicked out David De Gea, the fact that is currently happening is that Onana doesn't seem to have finished his adaptation period in The Red Devils squad. The series of injuries suffered by most of United defensive players increased the number of goals conceded by Onana, in the end his move from Inter Milan did not seem like the right solution. Even though Onana is neither bad nor very good, he is the player who gets the most criticism, if United performance does not experience a steady improvement in the future, it will be difficult for Onana to avoid criticism from fans.

On the other hand, Ten Hag will still trust Onana as the main goalkeeper, both in the English Premier League and the European Champions League. In the midst of the ups and downs in United performance, it would be too risky for Ten Hag to play Altay as a starter.
Just like many others, I was one of the people who thought Andre Onana will improve the performance of Manchester United this season after he was signed to the club in the summer transfer window from Inter Milan.
Unfortunately, Onana has been the shadow of the goalkeeper we saw last season at Inter Milan as he's already committed so many goalkeeping errors that's resulted to loss of games and points for Manchester United. Some are of the opinion that his bad goalkeeping is as a result of United's poor defense line but whatever should be the reason, I think the Cameroon international should've done better
