Despite the team's struggles, Onana has been a rare bright spot, showing glimpses of his talent and potential to be a commanding presence in the goal. A double save against Crystal Palace and a resolute display against Aston Villa's well-organised attack helped United earn crucial draws which temporarily eased the pressure on under-fire manager Erik ten Hag.

WHAT NEXT FOR ONANA?
Onana has the most clean sheets in the Premier League, along with Liverpool's Alisson Becker, after seven matches, despite the club’s defensive woes. United fans are hoping that after the upcoming international break, they will witness a rejuvenated Onana who can help stabilise the team’s backline. The team’s next challenge comes against Brentford on October 19, a match in which Onana’s ability to command the defence and spark attacking transitions will be under scrutiny.
