    How Andre Onana Will Fit Into Ten Hag’s Manchester United | Starting XI, Formation & Tactics



    With the departure of David De Gea, leaving Manchester United after 12 years at the club as a free agent – Erik Ten Hag needed a new number 1. Earlier in the year there was talk about Porto’s Diogo Costa and Brentford’s David Raya but in a surprise turn of events, Manchester United signed Andre Onana from Inter Milan – arguably one of the very best ball playing goalkeepers in the world but exactly how much will he change at the club?

      This sounds good but, probably unpopular opinion coming, that means players like Antony got to be able to make fast desicions. And I don't see that footballing intelligence in him and that worries me. For me he's our weak point in attack. Hope he involves with age but. Doubt it:/

      Great analysis, definitely De Gea the cause for our front line being useless.
      We would have scored 100+ goals if we had Onana last season easily

      Imagine hearing someone make a video with your name? It's an attack on David by Dave.

      I want Dave to do the same on Maguire or Bruno. Misplaced passes happen, even from the world's best. Allison or Ederson or Ramsdale make serious errors but the media narrative excuses them but when it's David, because it's click bait, they use don't protect the man. Over time one begins to lose their confidence and its not fair.

      Look at Lingard, Ali, these players struggled with such criticism and De gea is no exception to this critique.

      Please don't attack players like this, he left for a reason. Probably tired of people expecting mediocrity from him so they can make villifying videos

      My question to you dave is
      This crop of players not the ones ten hag bought in but those who have been here for a while have only thrived when playing in transition and that is a bit confusing what the identity of this team will be
      I just feel ten hag can't keep reverting back to sitting deep and relying on transitions
      There needs to be a revolution and hopefully onana is one of those pieces but this squad still needs a lot of work in my opinion

      Love your vids man, I like how you keep your explanations concise and back it up with stats. The animation is spot on too. My one crticism so far is your body language, instead of rubbing your hands, try being a little more animated with them or keep your palms open. Keep it up!

      I just cant accept how much Statman Dave is criticizing De Gea but wont say a bad word about Maguire who is far worse in his position than David is at his. Also playing Maguire is like having a gangrene foot and keeping it on until it infects the entire body. Maguire's very presence disrupts the entire structure of the team. David is not a good modern keeper, but we never needed to babysit him or alter the entire defensive structure for his inabilities.

      We need a def ball playing midfielder. Casemiro is good, but we seen that he was not at his best at the end of the season. I believe there must be cheap players with decent potential who we could invest on OR best case is to use Mainoo. And the most important – NO 9

    33. Blow on

      Erik has now said that because of his analysis of our history and the profile of players we currently have, he wants United to be the best transition team in the world. Does that mean that high possession doesn't seem to be the goal unless it's like the induced micro-transitions that Brighton employ?
