Shockwaves are rippling through Old Trafford after Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim unleashed a brutally frank assessment of goalkeeper André Onana.
In a press briefing that stunned both supporters and media outlets, the Portuguese tactician made it clear he has lost faith in the Cameroonian shot-stopper and questioned his future at the club.
Amorim did not attempt to hide his frustration. With visible agitation, he stated:
“I can’t go on with him. I simply can’t endure this anymore. At training, not a single shot seems to be stopped by him, and yet he believes he can be our first-choice goalkeeper all season? It’s not possible.
I don’t lay the blame on him personally; the fault lies with Erik ten Hag for spending so much of the club’s money on this signing.”
The explosive comments immediately set the footballing world ablaze. Rarely does a manager so openly call out one of his own players, let alone a high-profile acquisition from the previous regime.
But Amorim wasn’t only criticizing Onana’s performances; he was also directing his anger toward the decision-making process that allowed the goalkeeper to join United in the first place.
What followed shocked even further. Amorim revealed that he has already opened discussions with none other than Manchester United legend David De Gea.
“I have reached out to David De Gea, and we both share the desire to work together again,” Amorim declared.
“This team needs security. It needs a goalkeeper the supporters can truly rely on. Onana has until the close of the transfer window to secure another club. I am done waiting.”
The statement immediately triggered a frenzy among fans and pundits. The idea of De Gea, a player adored at Old Trafford for more than a decade, making a sensational return has reignited hope among certain sections of the fanbase.
At the same time, many are outraged by the public manner in which Onana has been dismissed, viewing it as unnecessarily humiliating for the player.
This development represents a major twist in United’s ongoing search for stability. For years, De Gea was the symbol of consistency, often saving the club in difficult moments.
His departure under Ten Hag was controversial, and now Amorim appears eager to reverse that decision and restore him as United’s defensive backbone.
The situation has left Manchester United supporters split down the middle. Some are relieved by the possibility of De Gea’s return, believing it could restore order between the posts. Others, however, feel the drama exposes deeper turmoil at the club.
Regardless of opinion, one truth is undeniable: the goalkeeper saga has become the biggest talking point in English football, with the close of the transfer window looming over everything.
Old Trafford is once again engulfed in uncertainty — and the goalkeeper position sits atthe very heart of the storm.
