  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    A cross from Son Heung-min was half-cleared by Noussair Mazraoui to Lucas Bergvall on the edge of the United box who turned and fired towards goal. The effort was comfortably stopped by Onana but he could only parry it back into danger, rather than away from goal, which allowed Maddison to fire home from close range. It is yet another game in which a weak Onana save has landed kindly at the feet of an opposing player and United fans are running out of patience.

    WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

    United fans have taken to X to vent their frustration, with StrettyDave posting: "Onana is fuck*ng dogsh*t. Come for the f*cking ball. Bin."

    @NovBaII added: "ONANA IS SO SH*T THATS A FIFA TYPE OF GOAL."

    Sani was frustrated by the United performance, saying: "This is what happens if you don’t take your chances. Onana is embarrassing omg."

    Alexei was simple in their assessment: "Onana is a liability."

    Meanwhile, Gerry Deakin is missing a former player. "Onana has been responsible for more goals conceded than De Gea ever was. But agendas will agend," they said.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    While Onana could and should have been stronger when pushing away the Bergvall effort, he will also be frustrated by the lack of reaction from his defenders. When the Swedish midfielder hits his shot, only Maddison made a movement towards the goal and found himself in acres of space. Onana will be particularly disappointed that Matthijs de Ligt allowed the English midfielder to evade him so easily.

    WHAT NEXT FOR UNITED?

    United are currently languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table. While the club is suffering with a huge number of injury problems, the Red Devils' faithful will be angry to find themselves so far down the table. Their fixture list does not get any easier either with a trip to former boss David Moyes' resurgent Everton coming next week.
