Mannwan: Onana & Baindel s level is even worse than Carol & Howard in 2004-05
Marnest editor-in-chief Luke Hurst wrote an article about the situation of Manchester United goalkeeper. He believes that Onana & Baindel's level is so low that it is even worse than Carol and Howard in the 2004-05 season.
Before the match against Arsenal, Onana only participated in three team training classes, which was not enough in Amorin's opinion. So Baindel continued to guard the goal and Heaton appeared on the bench. At the post-match press conference of
losing to Arsenal, the post-match questions focused on the goalkeeper. When someone suggested that 40-year-old Heaton replace Baindel start, Amorin was obviously angry. The press conference ended in a hurry as quickly as possible. Amorin assured reporters that he was "very satisfied" with Manchester United's goalkeeper division.
In May, it was reported that Manchester United did not consider the goalkeeper position a priority and its position has not changed so far. But they have also been looking for goalkeepers, with a serious attitude that they risked their attempts to loan Martinez.
Middle last season, Manchester United also considered introducing goalkeepers, but not as an absolute starter. It would be wise to equip Onana with a competitive substitute.
Mannwan believes that Manchester United's No. 1 and No. 2 goalkeepers are so low that they are not even as good as those of Roy Carroll and Tim Howard in the 2004-05 season, not to mention the combination of De Gea and Lindegard in the first half of the 2011-12 season, or the De Gea and Dean Henderson in the 2020-21 season.
Manwan said that there may be the best goalkeeper in the world in the market. Paris Saint-Germain hopes to cash out Donnarumma, but Manchester United is not expected to seek the goalkeeper who is said to have a weekly salary of £400,000. If Donaluma eventually settles in Manchester, it is more likely that Manchester City will join.
Onana is expected to stay in the team. Before the transfer deadline on September 1, Manchester United prefers to introduce midfielders rather than goalkeepers.
Manchester United has several potential goalkeepers on loan in the Championship and the English League Two. Vitek is a member of the 2022 Youth Cup champion and teammates with Menu and Garnacho. He has scored a zero-point record in the first two games of the English Championship Bristol City. If Vitek can continue to have a steady start, he will have an excellent opportunity for promotion.
Elich Harrison currently plays for Shrewsbury in the lower league and may slip into the lower level at the end of the season. The team suffered two consecutive losses in the new season and is one of the popular teams to be reduced to the National League. In the 2017-18 season, Dean Henderson made his mark while on loan from Shrewsbury, when the team was striving for the Championship.
Tenhach had previously rejected the opportunity to reunite with Onana. The new goalkeeper he chose Fleken is a Dutchman and is a broker with him.
