Andre Onana’s turbulent journey at Manchester United continues to be a focal point of intense criticism.
Signed from Inter Milan in July 2023 for £47.2 million, the Cameroonian goalkeeper arrived at Old Trafford with high expectations.
His ball-playing skills and command of the penalty area were seen as transformative qualities for United’s defensive setup.
However, a string of high-profile errors has cast a shadow over his capabilities, making him a regular subject of criticism.
Onana’s challenges began early, with notable blunders against Bayern Munich, Galatasaray, and Brentford last season.

This season, his Boxing Day howler, where he allowed a direct corner from Matheus Cunha to find the net, has added to the growing frustrations.
Fans have drawn parallels between Onana and former United goalkeeper Massimo Taibi, who himself endured a short-lived, error-ridden stint at the club.
The relentless pressure of playing for United has often been likened to a furnace that either forges greatness or exposes vulnerabilities.
Former Red Devils goalkeeper Massimo Taibi weighed in on Onana’s situation, offering a mix of criticism and advice.

He emphasized the unique challenges of goalkeeping in the Premier League, particularly for players transitioning from other leagues.
In his remarks, Taibi stated, “Andre, you are one of the best keepers in Europe, but in the Premier League, you are underperforming.
“Block out criticism, do some soul-searching, press the reset and go again.
“And if things don’t change by June, move on”
He further noted that the English game’s physicality and goalkeeping style might not align with Onana’s strengths.
As Onana faces growing calls to turn his season around, United fans hope he can rise to the challenge or make a graceful exit in pursuit of a fresh start elsewhere.
