The rest of the team setup was problematic and Mainoo's injury worsened things. otherwise, this would've been a better game for him than it was. Get a CF and a deep lying midfielder ASAP and stop mucking about with Bruno on the wings. Eriksen should only be rotation for either Bruno or Mount as advanced midfielders not as a deep lying midfielder anymore esp against elite opposition. And choose which full back you're going to have invert into midfield because there's always chaos when we lose the ball and only Casemiro is left to stem the opposition flow from overwhelming our defence.
Onana is even higher level than (Alison/Ederson) in terms of dribbling and ball distribution. People say Onana dribble will have mistake and lead to fatal goal. I agree this is Onana full package, meaning that he has world class ball distribution skills, but he takes risk, and risk may lead to mistake. He will minimise the mistake.
Onana said in an interview “I take risk, and I know that. I am not prepared to make a mistake, but I know I will eventually make a mistake. If I make a mistake on Sunday, I still need to go to work on Monday. If I don’t take risk, I will not cause any pain. I receive the ball, and I make clearance, throw the ball away. But I will not help my team build up.”
In terms of his overall performance debut, it is a massive upgrade from DDG. I know DDG is world class shot shopper, but he stays at his goal line, never comes out to help, pass the ball to opponents, etc. With Onana debut, you can see his
1. Impeccable Ball dribbling 2. Great Mind games 3. Great Body acceleration 4. Great First Touch 5. Accurate Curve + Accurate Weight to each pass (comfortable for receiver)
Not just a CB-playing Goalkeeper, his ball distribution is Pirlo level (if you really watch football). Also when he pass the ball, he moves immediately to another open space location which gives the defender one extra passing option.
Numerical advantage, I trust all you football hardcore fans watch every MU game for the last few seasons. You understand when we are pressed at the back, we have basically no choice but to pass back to DDG, and then clearance which has no aim. And literally every PL team knows how bad DDG was with his feet.
Now, with Onana, no coach wants to press him, otherwise they will fall into Onana trap. Not only his distribution skills but because Onana has great vision, and can ping the ball 50 to 60metres (<- quote by Samuel Eto’o) with a error of +- 1 yard, this is crazy.
Notice how Onana by passing the ball, he teaches his teammates where to run. He did not say it out loud, but his body language, and also the teammates can see the curve/weight of the ball.
All this is original comment made by me, and I will post to wherever Onana compilation there might be on YouTube. So more people can see it. Many people will find excuse that Onana is a mistake, but they are wrong. This is Modern Football
What about the second goal he must have seen the Madrid player setting himself up to scissor kick the ball, he stood and just watched the ball pass him, not convinced about him time will tell.

He literally forces all the players to switch on because the passing is so good he'll find you even if you think its not on or expecting it 😂😂😂
If it about distribution then we might as well play Bruno or Eriksen in goal.
Great signing
ONANA nice good
Soon it's gonna click.

Like how he makes a pass then moves angles by running into space.
I think we still need Amrabat.We still have a problem in our midfield
Cool calm and collected. Onanaaaaaaaaa!
I can’t believe we pressed Madrid so hard like this,the real tiki taka has come to united 😮💨
We need 2 or 3 new centre backs or this won't work
