Onana has conceded too many bad goals this season, but we remember his great performances at Inter. I think Erik ten Hag is giving him endless credit for his confidence and trying to help him reach his Inter performance. The backup goalkeepers who can replace Onana are Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton. Both of them deserved a chance this season actually. Tom Heaton has been in this team almost 4 seasons and is an experienced goalkeeper. I know Altay Bayindir from Turkey and he is a young and talented goalkeeper. I think Erik ten Hag did them an injustice by not giving them a chance.
Ten Hag was hypnotized, and he found it difficult to prove that his shopping activities could have a big impact on the club. We know that Man United in the last transfer window brought in players who shone at their home club, but faded at Old Trafford. So, the consideration that Ten Hag might be forced to take is his reputation. If only Onana or Hojlund can have a big impact on Man United, then he can avoid being called a coach who failed in his shopping.
However, this is actually a bad thing for the team. This is why I really doubt Man United could win against Spurs last week. I bet on the number of goals over 2.5 and it is very easy to win the bet with Man United's weak defense.
Man United was lucky to get an early goal yesterday, but the match was more in favor of Spurs. It's just that Spurs were unlucky and were only able to draw.
