Until relatively recently, the role of the goalkeeper was seen as pretty one dimensional, tasked with keeping the ball out of the net and making a pass so the 10 outfield players could create an attack. So when goalkeepers like Fabian Barthez went full FIFA and rushed into the midfield, the whole world thought they were crazy. However, slowly but surely goalkeepers started to have a bigger impact on the game. The amount of passes they complete per match has steadily been trending upwards, and more and more managers are looking for goalkeepers that can play with their feet. And when it comes to this type of keeper, the most extreme version is Man united’s new signing Andre Onana. He’s comfortable with the ball at his feet, he’s creative and very good under pressure, whilst also being a decent goalkeeper. His style is definitely not for everyone, the Cameroon international played only one game at the world cup after breaking the record for the most amount of touches outside the box from a goalkeeper, with the manager benching him after feeling he took way to many risks. But this signing is a hint to a changing tactical landscape, and the advantages he brings man united are already starting to be seen.
