Manchester United fans are cooking again on social media, and this time, André Onana is the one sweating.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper, once brought in with hopes of making De Gea’s departure forgettable, now finds himself dodging more than just footballs he is dodging fan backlash too.
From “worst goalkeeper ever” to “he just needs competition,” the comment section is hotter than a Premier League fixture on a Sunday afternoon.
let’s dive into the chaos.
From shot stopper to shot caller: when did it go wrong for Onana?
Let’s be honest, Onana didn’t have the easiest entry into the Premier League.
Arriving at a time when United’s defense was already doing its best impression of a sieve, he was expected to be the superhero in gloves.
Problem is, even Superman would struggle with defenders who forget they’re not playing for the opposing team.
Onana’s time between the sticks has been a rollercoaster.
One minute he’s making world-class saves, the next he’s passing the ball straight to the striker like they’re teammates on FIFA. It’s confusing, it’s stressful, it’s… very Manchester United.
The fans are divided – but united (against him)
Some fans want him benched, others want him banished. A few are still holding on to hope like it’s a Champions League ticket.
But one thing is clear: everyone has an opinion, and Twitter (sorry, X) is their therapy couch.
From complaints about his decision-making to questions about why he doesn’t have strong competition, it’s clear fans want changes.
But whether it’s a new keeper or just someone to scare him into performing better, the solution isn’t so simple.
Surprisingly, not everyone is sharpening their pitchforks.
A handful of fans have come to Onana’s defense, pointing out that no goalkeeper thrives behind a defense that leaks goals like a WhatsApp group leaks gist.
One witty fan even suggested United summon Maldini and Nesta out of retirement, just to show these Gen Z supporters that a goalkeeper is only as good as the wall in front of him.
Fair point. It’s hard to shine when you’re constantly babysitting defenders who love chaos.
Who is really at fault?
Is Onana the problem, or just a very visible symptom of Manchester United’s deeper issues?
When the midfield forgets to track back and the defense thinks “marking” is a suggestion, what chance does a goalkeeper really have?
Sure, he’s made some clumsy mistakes. Yes, some of those errors have cost United big moments.
But expecting him to perform miracles every week while the team plays like it’s a charity match isn’t just unfair — it’s classic Old Trafford delusion.
Final whistle: Bench or back him?
Love him or loathe him, Onana is still standing between the posts. Whether United brings in new competition or a whole new defense, one thing is certain: the pressure is real, and Onana needs to step up or step aside.
But for now, let’s all agree on one thing, if we’re going to blame him for every blunder, let’s also clap when he pulls off those Hollywood saves. It’s only fair.
