MU needs to buy a new goalkeeper.

Onana failed to live up to expectations at MU.

The disappointing performances of both Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir raise serious questions about the future of the goalkeeping position at Old Trafford. In the 4-1 defeat to Newcastle in the 32nd round of the Premier League on April 13th, Bayindir – making his Premier League debut – failed to prove himself as a long-term solution.

Although he was chosen as a replacement for Onana, the arrival of the Turkish goalkeeper only further highlighted the shortcomings of both goalkeepers.

Bayindir came on as a substitute for Onana in a decision many hoped would be a turning point for Manchester United's defense. However, in his very first Premier League game, he had to pick the ball out of his net four times, including one serious mistake.

For the fourth goal conceded, Bayindir made a serious error when attempting a pass from midfield but failing, giving Bruno Guimaraes the opportunity to score. Furthermore, the positional error in the second goal only added to the disappointment.

Bayindir's passing ability was also unsatisfactory. He only successfully completed 27 out of 57 passes, achieving an accuracy rate of less than 50%. This figure clearly reveals his weakness in building play from the back, something modern goalkeepers should excel at.

Bayindir also failed to meet expectations on the day he replaced Onana.

Along with Bayindir, Onana has also failed to impress fans with his performances. Signed by Manchester United for nearly £50 million from Inter Milan in the summer of 2023, Onana has failed to live up to expectations. His mistakes in the recent Europa League quarter-final first leg defeat to Lyon once again highlighted the Cameroonian goalkeeper's inconsistency.

Poor decisions in handling the ball, coupled with weak communication with the defense, led to avoidable goals conceded.

It's impossible to ignore the off-field issues Onana has faced. Recently, his family experienced a serious incident when his wife became the victim of a robbery. This situation will undoubtedly affect Onana's mental state during matches.

Given the current situation, MU faces a difficult choice. They must decide whether to continue supporting Onana and hope he regains his form, or whether they must look for a new goalkeeper in the transfer market.

However, financial issues are complicating all options. With the transfer fee already paid for Onana, buying another top goalkeeper and paying the salaries of both top players could be difficult given the club's current financial situation.

This situation is further complicated by the fact that MU still faces major goals this season, including securing a Champions League spot and progressing further in domestic competitions. However, with the current form of their goalkeepers, the prospects of success in these competitions are more difficult than ever.

It's time for MU to make a decision about Onana.

Ruben Amorim faced a difficult dilemma. Replacing Onana with Bayindir in the match against Newcastle was clearly a bold decision, but it also highlighted the urgent situation the team was facing.

However, neither goalkeeper could meet the requirements for consistency and confidence needed in important matches.

With the season becoming increasingly tense, Amorim will have to decide whether he can continue to rely on Onana, or whether he will have to look for a new goalkeeper to salvage the situation. Whichever decision is made, Manchester United needs an effective and long-term solution to end the goalkeeping crisis they are currently facing.
