United legend Berbatov Blasts Onana after disappointing defeat to Nottingham forest

Manchester United suffered yet another disappointing defeat, this time at the hands of Nottingham Forest, in a frustrating 1-0 loss. The match was decided by a moment of individual brilliance from former United player Anthony Elanga, whose solo goal secured all three points for Forest. While Manchester United struggled to find the back of the net despite numerous opportunities, the biggest talking point after the game has been the performance of their goalkeeper, André Onana.

Following the match, former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov did not hold back in his criticism of Onana. The United legend expressed his frustration, claiming that the Cameroonian goalkeeper has become a major liability for the team. “Amorim needs to get rid of him. United can’t achieve anything with a shot-stopper like Onana. Every low decent shot is a goal when he’s there,” Berbatov remarked. His comments reflect the growing dissatisfaction among both pundits and fans who believe that Onana has failed to live up to expectations since his arrival at Old Trafford.

Onana’s performance has been under scrutiny for months, with many supporters feeling that he has cost United crucial points throughout the season. His inability to deal with shots that should be routine saves has been a recurring theme, and the goal conceded against Nottingham Forest only added fuel to the fire. Elanga’s strike, while well-taken, was not an unstoppable shot by any means. Many believe a top-tier goalkeeper should have done better to prevent the ball from finding the net. Instead, Onana was left picking the ball out of his goal once again, leaving his teammates and fans frustrated.

The criticism from Berbatov echoes the sentiments of a large portion of the United fanbase, who have taken to social media to vent their disappointment. Many supporters believe that if the club is serious about competing for major trophies, they need a world-class goalkeeper who can be relied upon in crucial moments. There is growing concern that Onana’s continued presence in the squad could hinder United’s chances of achieving success under new manager Ruben Amorim.

Despite the backlash, Amorim has so far remained silent on the matter, but the pressure is mounting for him to make a decision regarding his first-choice goalkeeper. With the summer transfer window approaching, speculation is already rife about potential replacements for Onana. Names such as Diogo Costa, Mike Maignan, and David Raya have been linked with a move to Old Trafford, fueling speculation that United might be looking for an upgrade between the posts.

The situation surrounding Onana raises important questions about United’s recruitment and decision-making process. The club invested heavily in bringing him in, believing he could be the long-term successor to David de Gea. However, his performances have yet to justify that investment, and if things do not improve soon, his time at United could be cut short.

As things stand, Manchester United finds itself in a difficult position. The defeat to Nottingham Forest not only exposes their weaknesses at the back but also highlights their struggles in front of goal. While Onana is facing the brunt of the criticism, the entire squad must take responsibility for their inability to deliver results. With the season nearing its climax, United must regroup and find solutions fast, or risk enduring yet another disappointing campaign. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Amorim will continue to back Onana or make a bold decision to bring in a new goalkeeper before it’

s too late.
