Onana Is Cooked

Onana was shaken when he realised he was playing against the Kiwi goat Chris Wood.

[@ninjalectualx]

He practices with Antony every day, there's no way he'd be fazed by an aura

Not the Kiwi GOAT. The Kiwi GOAT is Wynton Rufer (top scorer / Golden boot in the Bundesliga and would have made the German national team if he was eligible). Wood is arguably #2 or #3 - tossup between him and Ryan Nelsen

Inter fan based in Malta, so I follow both BPL and Serie A closely. For Inter, Onana was simply amazing. Terrific goalkeeper. However I am of the opinion that for him to excel, he needs an organised and settled defence to work with. Man United.... are the opposite of organised and settled.

You’re absolutely right. Fourfourtwo has a video that says exactly this

I’m a Milan fan so I’ve watched quite a lot of Inter. I agree. He was so comfortable at Inter. He had lots of players around him that could play out of the back. And he didn’t have to face tons of shots all the time. He got to help in the build up and deal with the odd ends that the defense couldn’t mop up

I'm convinced people are letting last year's Champions League performances color the way they see Onana. He's consistently saved Manchester United from their abysmal defense since last season. He's been great despite the terrible defensive performances in front of him. I'll be the first to admit that this was a howler of a game, but to say that he's a failure of a signing or a bad keeper is insane. It's important to remember that De Gea wasn't particularly good in the beginning or the end of his United career.
