It says everything Manchester UnitedRate of success with goalkeepers Andre onana During the club’s pride of being the worst number 1, cannot claim Premier League Era. But it is undisputed that the team’s disappointing record in the last two years matches with a 29 -year period in the target.
There are many major elements for a successful team. Two of the most important have the ability to score goals and keep them out of their net. Very simple, isn’t it? Score more than the other side and stop scoring them when you do so.
United spent more than £ 200 million in this summer Mathew kunha, Brian Mabumo And Benjamin SescoIn the last season, 38 league games in an attempt to upgrade the condolences who scored just 44 goals. However, despite accepting 54 goals, the goalkeeping problem was allowed to be reduced.

This season, every game so far has been affected by the mistake of the man selected to wear gloves by head coach Ruben Amorim. Whether it is Altaya biinderprone to error turkey International who played in United Three League Games, or in Onana Karabao CupThe story has been the same; The disability in the target that has led a series of negative consequences.
But as before ajax And inter Milan Keeper onana Preparations to leave United for Season Lone Loan Deal with Turkish super lig Team Trabzocer, Cameron The exit of international will only work to highlight the dirt that Amorim has been left in the most important position in his team.
Pape Guardiola’s priority tasks Manchester City This summer was to rebuild its team’s goalkeeping department. Club signed that person EnglandNext number 1 – James trafficFrom Burnley – And seen by many people as the best in another world, Paris Saint Germain And Italy guard Gianlouigi donarumma,
Amorim, similarly worried about United’s roundkeeping options, wanted to seal a deal to the club Argentina number 1 Emiliano MartinezBut quickly failed to celebrate the loan proposal of the low ball in the window Aston Villa to do business. Only the brief description of the inquiry about Donarumma’s intentions was when it became clear that PSG would listen to offers after signing his € 40 million Lily‘S Lucas Shevelier,
Finally, despite the transfer window open to a step for Old Trafford in the last hours of the transfer window, United chose to sign Sen Lamens23 years old Belgium From under -21 international Antwerp In a deal of £ 18.2 million. Sources in Belgium have told ESPN that while lamence is considered a possible long -term successor. real Madrid‘S Thibot cortois For the national team, he is still raw and, according to a source, “disabled when working with the cross.”
Meanwhile, United has repeatedly stressed that the lemans “is one for the future” and a youth who will be given time to be suited to the challenge of playing in the Premier League for a club that puts unique pressure on its goalkeepers. Whenever a new keeper falls in Old Trafford, he stands on the shoulders of veterans like Peter Shamechal, Edwin van Der Sir and veterans. David de gay -Three great people of the three of the Premier League-but in the last two years, Onana’s performance has investigated even more in this post.
If the club stepped late for 33 -year -old Martinez FIFA World Cup The presence of the winner, reputation and large-game experience may be the perfect solution to enable lementions to English football before throwing at a deep end. But as Amorim has prepared for a Sunday clash with Manchester City in Etihad, he has to face a very difficult decision as to start with disabled biondir or to start in an incompetent arena of a dens. Guardiola has no such concern about traffic or donarumma.
Nevertheless, instead of united, Amorim, only to blame yourself for the position of addressing his coach. A joint source has told ESPN that Biondir was signed only in September 2023 for a low fee of £ 4.3 million. Fanarbash Because the club needed to compete with someone Tom Heton As backup keeper Jack buttland The first role was emptied in summer to join Ranger people,
After the performance of Biondir for United has shown that he is not equipped with number 1, while 39 -year -old Heton has been constantly ignored. But if Lamens are considered “a” for the future “, Amorim is left without a goalkeeper, he can really trust.
Onana, replacement of £ 47 million for D Gay, who departed in 2023, never suggested himself to be sufficient to be the first choice keeper in a club of United. His premiere league started Walverhampton wanders A mistake was marked when he missed a corner and accidentally came in Sasa Kaljik For match officials only – who were demoted for the next game – to remember the incident and did not give a punishment.
After a stream of errors in two full sessions leading the goals, Onana’s most recent performance was against the derogatory Carbao Cup necklace League to Club Grimsbi Town Last month. He was making a mistake for two goals before saving one of the 13 penalty in the 12–11 shootout necklace, so it was only a case to finish his time in the club as he started-with questions asked about his ability.
Masimo Tigre, Mark Bosnich, Fabian Bartez and Roy Carol made a lot of mistakes to become a successful United Keeper – Tabi lasted only four games, the brother of Martin Ferguson, former manager Sir Alex, who was the senior European scout of the club at that time. But Onana has been uncertain and incredible from the moment when she pulled on a joint shirt and the only surprise is that it took him so much time to move.
Their exit is certainly a problem for Amorim, but United has not decided the elder because they have not signed a keeper that is more likely to be another Shamichel or Van Der head than another Bosnich or Bartage.
