SELL him now! – Man United dressing room turn on Onana amid goalkeeping nightmare

Manchester United’s goalkeeper crisis is spiralling out of control, with insiders claiming André Onana has lost the confidence of the squad and internal figures fearing a full-blown disaster between the sticks. 

Once heralded as the modern keeper to revolutionise Old Trafford, the 29-year-old Cameroonian has now become the focus of fury.

According to the Manchester Evening News, faith in Onana has completely evaporated following a series of high-profile blunders last season and a shaky start to the new campaign.

 Even his deputy, Altay Bayındır, has reportedly failed to convince team-mates, with both goalkeepers enduring a nightmare start to the season.

The sentiment is clear: United’s squad do not trust their last line of defence, a damning indictment for a side still chasing European and domestic glory.

The tipping point, insiders suggest, came after the humiliating Carabao Cup exit at the hands of League Two outfit Grimsby Town. 

The shock defeat has intensified questions not just about Onana’s ability, but also about manager Rúben Amorim’s tactical decisions.

Manager Ruben Amorim has publicly admitted that “something has to change” at United after their chaotic start, telling The Guardian that the current system is unsustainable. 

His persistence with a 3-4-3 formation has come under heavy criticism, with pundits branding it “crazy” in light of the squad’s weaknesses.

Former Crystal Palace winger Jobi McAnuff said Amorim’s insistence on shoehorning players into an ill-fitting tactical system was “madness” after United’s capitulation to Grimsby.

"It just seems crazy that he (Amorim) is wedded to this formation at all costs, in any circumstances in a match that he is almost forcing people into positions no matter the state of the game. It is baffling that there is no flex at all,” he said on Sky Sports.

Amorim’s stubbornness has only worsened pressure on Onana, who has looked increasingly nervous behind a defence left exposed.

 The goalkeeper’s shaky command in the box, combined with costly distribution errors, has fed into the dressing room’s loss of faith.

With squad confidence gone, United’s hierarchy is already weighing up alternatives. 

According to Sky Sports, United are progressing in talks to sign Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens.

The Red Devils are understood to be discussing a deal worth in the region of £17.3m.

Lammens would be signed as a long-term project, rather than as new number one as there have been no offers for Andre Onana or Altay Bayindir.

For Onana, injuries have only deepened the concerns. 

His pre-season hamstring setback meant he missed crucial preparation time, adding fuel to speculation about his long-term reliability.

Onana’s fall from grace has been rapid.

 Signed from Inter Milan in 2023 as the ideal sweeper-keeper, he arrived with Champions League pedigree and the promise of modernising United’s play.

Now, with the squad reportedly losing faith in him, and Amorim under siege, his Old Trafford future looks perilously short-lived unless he produces a dramatic turnaround.
