BREAKING NEWS: Ruben Amorim Blasts United Flop After Costly Mistake vs Ipswich—“Onana Is FINISHED!”
In a dramatic turn of events at Old Trafford, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has launched a scathing attack on goalkeeper André Onana following a series of costly errors in their recent 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town. Amorim’s post-match comments have sent shockwaves through the football community, as he unequivocally criticized Onana’s performance and questioned his future at the club.
“Onana will NEVER be my No. 1 next season—he’s FINISHED!” Amorim exclaimed in the post-match press conference. “Can someone explain why he came off his line like that?! The same mistake he keeps making in training, now costing us on the pitch! He has ZERO leadership, ZERO composure—this is NOT the keeper a top club needs! I don’t know what Erik ten Hag was thinking when he signed him, but no wonder he struggled! Get him OUT of my club—he’s NOT in my future plans.”
The catalyst for Amorim’s outburst was a disastrous miscommunication in the 4th minute between Onana and new signing Patrick Dorgu, which gifted Ipswich an early lead. A through ball saw both players hesitating, resulting in Jaden Philogene-Bidace capitalizing on the error to score. The situation deteriorated further when Dorgu received a red card in the 43rd minute for a reckless tackle, leaving United with ten men for the remainder of the match. 
Despite being a man down, United managed to overturn the deficit, with goals from an own goal by Sam Morsy, Matthijs de Ligt, and Harry Maguire securing a hard-fought 3-2 victory. However, the defensive lapses, particularly those involving Onana, overshadowed the team’s resilience.
This incident is not an isolated one for Onana. Earlier in the season, during a 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest, he was heavily criticized for allowing a seemingly routine shot from Morgan Gibbs-White to slip past him, leading to widespread condemnation from fans and pundits alike. 
The fanbase’s patience with Onana appears to be wearing thin. Social media platforms have been inundated with calls for his departure, with supporters expressing their frustration over his repeated mistakes. One fan lamented, “How many more times does Onana need to cost us points before he’s benched? Amorim is right—he has to go!” Another added, “This guy makes the same mistakes over and over again. Why is he still starting?!”
Amorim’s public denunciation of Onana marks a significant shift from his previous stance. Following earlier errors, the manager had defended his goalkeeper, emphasizing the collective responsibility of the team. However, the accumulation of mistakes seems to have eroded his confidence in Onana’s abilities.
The future now looks uncertain for the Cameroonian international. With Amorim’s intent to revamp the squad, Onana’s position as the first-choice goalkeeper is in serious jeopardy. Reports suggest that United are already scouting potential replacements, with names like Diogo Costa from Porto and Mike Maignan from AC Milan emerging as potential candidates.
As the season progresses, the scrutiny on Onana’s performances will undoubtedly intensify. Whether he can redeem himself and regain the trust of his manager and the fans remains to be seen. For now, the message from Amorim is clear: drastic improvements are needed, or Onana’s tenure at Manchester United may be nearing its end.
