Positives
Onana has kept more clean sheets than any other goalkeeper in the Premier League this season.
For much of the campaign, he has looked confident, commanding, and capable of making critical saves in high-pressure moments.
These contributions have directly earned United crucial points.
Moreover, Onana’s distribution is one of his standout qualities.
He often appears composed with the ball at his feet, which is vital for Amorim’s style of building play from the back.
In theory, he seems like the perfect fit for the system.
However, for every moment of brilliance, there appears to be a glaring error waiting to happen.
Negatives
Onana’s history of high-profile mistakes continues to overshadow his progress.
Last season, his errors were pivotal in Manchester United’s 3-3 draw with Galatasaray, a result that significantly hurt their chances of advancing in the Champions League.
He also made a number of additional mistakes in his first few months at the club.
This term, while generally solid, his lapse against Viktoria Plzen came on the heels of a poor showing against Nottingham Forest.
In that match, he misjudged a straightforward shot from Morgan Gibbs-White, allowing Forest to claim a 3-2 victory.
These recurring errors have fuelled ongoing debates about his suitability as United’s number one goalkeeper.
As Manchester United undergo a tactical transition, a reliable presence between the posts is crucial.
Onana’s ability to deliver consistently remains under question, and his unpredictable moments continue to divide opinion.
