MU and the decision to urgently buy goalkeeper Jan Oblak
Coach Erik ten Hag decided to be "cruel" with David de Gea, not renewing his contract to buy Andre Onana from Inter Milan for 55 million Euros and turn him into MU's number 1 goalkeeper this season.
Onana's good footwork (which is De Gea's weakness) is the main reason why coach Erik ten Hag had to bring his former Ajax student back.
However, while the Cameroonian goalkeeper's strengths have not been able to help MU, his mistakes have made the team pay the price, losing points in the first rounds of the Premier League and even the opening round of the Champions League (losing 3-4 to Bayern).
In the Premier League, MU won 3 and drew 3 after 6 matches, while the attack scored 7 goals, Andre Onana had to pick the ball out of the net 10 times, the team conceding the 5th most goals in the tournament.
According to Fichajes , due to Andre Onana's "unstable" situation, MU is considering a way to lure and urgently buy Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak in the coming months. The 30-year-old Slovenian goalkeeper is worth around 50 million Euros, although he has a larger release clause.
Jan Oblak was considered one of the best goalkeepers in world football a few years ago. Although his form has declined somewhat recently, he is still very reliable and could be a useful choice for MU.
It remains to be seen whether the Red Devils will spend money to sign Oblak in January 2024, not to mention that Atletico will not easily let their number 1 goalkeeper leave in the middle of the season.
Since De Gea and Dean Henderson have both left, apart from Andre Onana who has not created trust, coach Erik ten Hag only has Altay Bayindir left.

Arsenal chasing Ivan Toney
British media said that as soon as the winter transfer window opens, Arsenal will promote the recruitment of Ivan Toney.
The English "assassin" is a quality striker who can provide more firepower and goal output for the Gunners in London.
The recent 2-2 draw with Tottenham showed that Arsenal are in need of a typical "number 9" who is always present in the penalty area and has the ability to finish quickly.
Ivan Toney has been banned for eight months for breaching the Football Association's strict betting rules, but will be allowed to return to the pitch from mid-January 2024.
The Mirror reports that Brentford are ready to sell their striker when the winter transfer window opens.
The Community Stadium club are demanding at least £60m from any club interested in Ivan Toney. The 27-year-old striker has now returned to training to maintain his fitness.
Wearing the Brentford shirt since 2020, Toney has made steady progress and contributed greatly to helping the team gain promotion to the Premier League. Coach Southgate also called Toney up to the England team.
Chelsea and Tottenham have both been linked with the England striker, but Arsenal have been the most vocal in their pursuit.
At Emirates, Gabriel Jesus is often out due to injury. Ivan Toney would be an upgrade over Eddie Nketiah.
