Manchester United wasted 50 million! Onana conceded a goal on 95 minutes and David De Gea saved the game on 97 minutes

Whether Andre Onana is Manchester United's worst goalkeeper in history is likely to be debated. But there is no suspense about one thing: Ten Hag's original tactical intention to bring him in has completely failed, and the Red Devils have not undergone a tactical revolution because of the arrival of the 29-year-old Cameroonian goalkeeper, spending a huge transfer fee of 50 million euros, but the situation is not much different from that of his predecessor David De Gea, if anything, his saves are far inferior to the 34-year-old Spanish "duck dad"!

As fate would have it, Onana and David De Gea both represented their side in Europe on Thursday night, with their side leading 2-1 in stoppage time. But at the last moment, the gap between the two appeared. In the 95th minute, Onana saved Lyon's close-range shot and Shcherki fired into the net to make it 2-2 in the Europa League.

Almost at the same time, in the 97th minute of Fiorentina's visit to Slovenian team Celje, the home team also shot hard in the penalty area, De Gea kicked the ball out of the box, and did not give the opponent any chance to make up the shot, and "Purple Lily" held on to the win.

The data shows that De Gea and Onana are almost all in an advantageous position in various data comparisons this season. Since the start of last season, Onana has conceded more goals than any Premier League goalkeeper due to mistakes made in all competitions.

After the game, Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim stressed that he would not discuss the issue with Onana specifically. "It can happen, if you also play football and play a lot of games, you can make mistakes. If you look back at the season, you'll see that in the last few games, and in the last few months, I've made more mistakes than them. We have one more game that can change everything, and that's the point."

Amorim said: "I didn't know it was going to happen, Amorim was suspected of spending too much energy arguing with Lyon's former Manchester United defender Nemanja Matic before the game. The best thing to do is to look at the goals he conceded, analyse all his performances in the game, and I'll talk to Vital and Mawson [Manchester United goalkeeper coach] and that's the best way to help the players. It's about focusing on the game, seeing what's wrong, what's needed to be improved and then getting the players on the pitch."

As for why he didn't plan to talk to Onana, Amorim explained: "It's not necessary, we'll train, we'll leave it to Vital and the coach will take care of it. It's normal, it can happen to any player and I don't have much to say about Onana. The most important thing is to stay natural, I'll pick the best squad and I'm still very confident in him."

Amorim was a "diplomatic rhetoric" and he constantly praised his team for getting better and better. In this regard, Scholes bluntly said that these are contrary to his intentions: "I don't think he believes it himself, and to be honest, I don't think he likes the current team. He knows he doesn't have a good team, he wants better, he needs better. You can see his reaction on the sidelines, he's always disappointed."

As for Onana, Scholes commented: "I think the first mistake is more responsible, it was a big mistake. The second time was a little excusable, but he obviously deserved better. He probably wished he had kept his mouth shut before the fight, what a terrible mistake."

Manchester United's goalscorer, Lenny Yoro, made it clear that Onana's mistake came at the worst possible moment. "I think it's the worst moment to concede a goal like this." "We are 2-1 up and it's a good score on the road. We defended well, but Lyon were also a strong team, with good strikers, and unfortunately we conceded in the end.'

There have been recent rumours that Manchester United are interested in signing David De Gea for free in the summer window, but that possibility has been quickly extinguished by Fiorentina. Spanish newspaper Marca revealed that the team has the priority option of renewing De Gea's contract for a year with double wages and intends to activate it directly. Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news that De Gea will be at the Stade Frankie until June 2026 and is unlikely to return to Manchester United.

Now, the Fiorentina players are enjoying the protection of the 'duck daddy' that United used to use, with team-mate Rolando Mandragora thanking him for his heroic last-minute saves.

The 27-year-old Italian midfielder said: "We are very happy, it is never easy to win away from home in Europe. Towards the end of the game we had some difficulties but David [De Gea] helped us tremendously," Mandragora told Sky Sports Italia.

When asked if they were used to De Gea's pounce, he replied, "We're not used to it. We've seen amazing performances from him in training and he's done it in the games. He's a top goalkeeper and we're delighted to have him in our squad."
