Shambolic Manchester United star sngled out following Carabao Cup horrorshow

After this match, Louis Saha, who himself has played for Manchester United, strongly criticised the performance of the team. Speaking to ITV Sport (h/t Daily Mail), he said that the team’s defence was very poor and shocking. The players did not have the strength to run, and Grimsby took full advantage of their mistakes.

Saha praised Grimsby, saying that they performed well. However, he also expressed his displeasure over the terrible mistakes made repeatedly by Onana. Saha pointed out that Onana made mistakes in both goals, and these were mistakes that cannot be forgiven. He clearly said that this performance is not at the level of Manchester United.

Onana’s poor performance and future

Andre Onana again made a big mistake in this match, which put the team in trouble. This was Onana’s ninth such mistake since last season, which led to goals. Saha criticised Onana’s performance, saying that his way of coming out was unclear, he did not pay attention to the ball, and he had no plan to touch the ball.

“It is shambolic, shocking (defending). They don’t have the legs; those mistakes are correctly punished by Grimsby. They’ve done really well, so credit to them. But it’s horrific mistakes again from Onana, so we lost this first half.”

“That is not excusable. It’s not clear where he’s coming out; there is no contact with the ball, his eyes aren’t even on it. The first one was a mistake for him, and the second one was also a mistake for him. So many mistakes. That’s not Man United, and I think he knows it.”

Onana is facing tough times at the club and in the transfer market due to his poor performance. The team’s confidence in Onana is slowly waning, and his place could be at risk in the near future. The 29-year-old’s transfer value is also falling, making it difficult for the club to sell him.

Should Onana be dropped?

Are Andre Onana’s mistakes “terrible” and “unforgivable”, as Louis Saha says? As Manchester United fans, we agree with Saha. Although the whole team were playing poorly, Onana’s mistakes were repeated again and again, and they were costing the team dearly. Making the same mistakes again and again, especially for a goalkeeper of a big club, is not acceptable.

Should manager Ruben Amorim drop him? In our opinion, yes, if Onana does not improve his mistakes, then it would be the right decision to keep him out for a few matches. Altay Bayindir could be given a chance in his place, who could prove to be a capable alternative.

Ruben Amorim has already played him in the first two matches in the Premier League, and we are also close to signing Senne Lammens. So, it should be quite clear that the place of the Cameroon international in the team is no longer certain. It is wrong to blame Onana alone for the poor performance against Grimsby, as the defensive organisation and team morale were also poor, but Onana should be held accountable for his mistakes. Meanwhile, Fenerbahce defender Yusuf Akcicek under the scanner as Manchester United eye defensive reinforcement.
