André Onana, the Cameroonian goalkeeper, is currently facing a challenging period at Manchester United. In his first season at the club, Onana set an unwanted record, with a high number of goals conceded. In 20 matches during the 2023/2024 season, Onana conceded 24 goals. The 2024/2025 season has proven to be even more difficult, with the goalkeeper playing 19 matches and letting in 26 goals. These figures have contributed to mounting pressure on the goalkeeper as critics question his form and the team’s defensive frailties.
The arrival of Ruben Amorim as Manchester United’s new head coach was expected to bring fresh energy and direction to the team. Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag, had worked with Onana before during their time at Sporting Lisbon and the coach publicly expressed his trust in Onana, reassuring him that he remained a key figure in his plans. Despite this, Amorim’s tenure has been plagued by disappointing results.
While Onana’s challenges continue to dominate headlines, Ruben Amorim’s start as Manchester United’s coach has been far from ideal. In his first 11 matches, Amorim has managed just four wins, one draw, and six defeats across the Premier League, Europa League, and League Cup. The team’s underwhelming performances, combined with a lack of attractive football, have raised further questions about the future of both the coach and the goalkeeper.
With both Onana and Amorim under pressure, the coming weeks will be critical for Manchester United as they seek to turn their fortunes around and regain the trust of their supporters.
