Manchester United’s stunning 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest has sparked outrage among fans and former players alike, with one United legend launching a ferocious attack on goalkeeper Andre Onana after another error-riddled performance.
In a fiery statement, the legend didn’t mince his words:
“Let me tell you something—with him in this team, Manchester United are going NOWHERE! He’s an absolute disaster! Singlehandedly threw away those 3 points against Nottingham Forest. I’m SICK of watching this guy drag the team down!”
Andre Onana, who was brought in during the summer as a high-profile signing to replace David de Gea, has faced growing criticism for his lack of consistency and costly mistakes. Against Nottingham Forest, Onana’s positioning, decision-making, and inability to command the defense were exposed once again, leading to the Red Devils’ humiliating loss.
The legend didn’t stop there, even suggesting drastic measures to solve the issue:
“Rip up his contract right now and give it to someone else—at least they know how to deliver! This is, without a doubt, the biggest FLOP we’ve EVER had.”
This sentiment was echoed by Wayne Rooney, another United great, who has reportedly expressed similar frustrations with Onana’s performances. Rooney has been vocal about the need for United to make tough decisions to regain their competitive edge, and it seems Onana is high on the list of players under scrutiny.
The result against Nottingham Forest not only deepened United’s current struggles but also reignited the concerns from last season when defensive errors and goalkeeping issues plagued their campaign. For many fans, it feels like history is repeating itself, as the club continues to show vulnerability at the back.
Supporters have taken to social media to vent their frustrations, with many calling for Onana to be dropped or even sold in the upcoming transfer window. The club’s defensive frailties, combined with Onana’s underwhelming performances, have left fans questioning the decision to sign the Cameroonian international.
“This is just so sad,” the legend added. “We cannot depend on this guy. What we suffered last season repeated itself today. If we don’t fix this, we’re not competing for anything this year.”
With Manchester United’s season now hanging in the balance, all eyes will be on Ruben Amorim to see if he will continue to back Onana or make a bold decision to address the goalkeeping crisis.
The pressure is mounting at Old Trafford, and changes may be inevitable if results—and performances—don’t improve soon.
