Manchester United’s shocking 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest has sparked widespread frustration among fans and former players, with one club legend delivering a blistering critique of goalkeeper Andre Onana. The summer signing, brought in to replace David de Gea, has come under intense scrutiny following another error-prone performance.
The legend, in a scathing outburst, did not mince words:
“With this guy in goal, Manchester United are going nowhere. He’s an absolute disaster. That game against Nottingham Forest? We gifted them three points because of him. I’m sick of watching him drag the team down!”
Onana’s performance against Nottingham Forest was riddled with mistakes, including poor positioning, questionable decision-making, and an apparent inability to organize his defense. These issues were central to United’s defeat, compounding the frustrations of a fanbase already concerned about the team’s defensive frailties. The goalkeeper’s inconsistencies have become a recurring theme this season, raising doubts about the decision to bring him in as United’s number one.
The criticism didn’t stop there. The same legend called for drastic measures to address the situation:
“Terminate his contract immediately and find someone who can do the job. This might be the worst signing we’ve ever made.”
Adding to the chorus of discontent, United icon Wayne Rooney has reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with Onana’s performances. Known for his no-nonsense attitude, Rooney has stressed the importance of making tough decisions to restore the team’s competitive edge. Onana is one of the players believed to be under heightened scrutiny as Manchester United struggles to find form.
The fallout from this latest defeat has only magnified the lingering concerns from last season, where defensive lapses and goalkeeping errors repeatedly cost United valuable points. Fans have taken to social media to vent their frustrations, with many calling for Onana to be benched or even offloaded in the next transfer window.
The growing discontent reflects a broader skepticism about the club’s recruitment strategy and its ability to solve long-standing defensive issues.
One particularly cutting remark from the legend summarized the mood among supporters:
“This is devastating. We can’t rely on him. The problems we had last season are back, and if nothing changes, we won’t compete for anything.”
As Manchester United’s season hangs in the balance, manager Ruben Amorim faces a crucial decision. Should he continue to back Onana in the hope of a turnaround, or take decisive action to address the goalkeeping crisis? With pressure mounting at Old Trafford, both on the pitch and off it, the need for swift and effective solutions has never been more urgent.
