Manchester United's defensive frailties have been laid bare this season, and the spotlight is firmly on their goalkeeping situation. With the transfer window set to slam shut, the pressure is mounting on Erik ten Hag to secure a new shot-stopper.
The Problem at Hand
Andre Onana, the current No. 1, has struggled to replicate the form that made him a standout at Inter Milan. Costly errors and a lack of confidence have raised serious questions about his ability to anchor United's backline.
Why a New Keeper is Essential
1. Consistency: A reliable goalkeeper is the backbone of any top team. United's defensive record this season proves they lack this stability.
2. Competition: Onana needs genuine competition to push him to perform at his best. Right now, he's unchallenged.
3. Long-Term Planning: At 27, Onana should be in his prime, but his performances suggest otherwise. United must act now to avoid a prolonged crisis.
Potential Targets
While the club has been linked with several names, time is running out to make a move. The right signing could be the difference between a top-four finish and another disappointing campaign.
The Clock is Ticking
With the transfer deadline fast approaching, United's hierarchy must decide: stick with Onana and hope for improvement, or act decisively to fix a glaring weakness.
