Manchester United Andre Onana made another costly error in a 3-2 win over Ipswich, reigniting concerns over his performances. The Cameroonian, signed for £47m in 2023, has made three errors leading to goals this season, while former United keeper David De Gea, now at Fiorentina, has none. Onana’s 65% save rate also lags behind De Gea’s 72%.
During the latest Premier League match, Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana once again found himself under scrutiny after his early mistake led to Ipswich Town’s opening goal. Despite United securing a 3-2 victory with ten men, Onana’s error reignited debates about his reliability. The 28-year-old, who initially struggled at Old Trafford, had shown improvement earlier this season, leading the league with six clean sheets. However, his inconsistent performances continue to raise concerns.
Onana’s rushed decision to charge out of his penalty area gifted Jaden Philogene an easy goal, a move heavily criticized by pundits like Robbie Savage and Rio Ferdinand. This mistake adds to a growing list of errors, including costly blunders in the Champions League and Premier League.
United signed Onana for £47 million in 2023 to replace David de Gea, but comparisons between the two show De Gea has a higher save percentage (72% vs. 65%) and fewer errors leading to goals. While Onana has had to adapt to tactical changes under manager Ruben Amorim, his passing accuracy and shot-stopping ability remain under question. With Fiorentina’s De Gea thriving, speculation is mounting over whether Onana’s time at United is coming to an end.
