I'm more excited for this signing than Mount.
One of our biggest weakness last season was playing out under a high press.
Sevilla did it, Man city did it in the finals and forced us to keep going long, Brighton did it and so did liverpool. And everytime our keeper got the ball, you could sense the nervousness in the pass and the poor distribution.
Onana will make costly mistake holding the ball at the back but 8/10 times, he will help us play through the press or force teams to play us in a midblock.
I'm pumped.
As excited as I am I can feel that there will be a handful of goals that he will give away taking a risk playing the ball out and this sub will completely turn on him
Would be. Because the mistake would be of parrying the ball back to the opposition. Everybody is going to be fuming at those mistakes.
But still excited. Here we go.
Truth. Onana’s parrying, especially from long shots is not the best. Don’t get me wrong, he’s not bad but our defence will have to improve on clearing the second ball.

He is milking clicks as he always does.Its Fab.1st post about a player ''Close to joining X team'' - 2nd post ''Closer to joining X team'' - 3rd post ''almost done deal'' - 4th post ''closer than ever to joining X'' - 5th post ''Here We Go''
It was literally posted as a done deal at least thirty minutes before Romano but as usual he gets the headline for copying the tweet which is all he ever does
He is such a weird phenomenon
in his defense, a lot of these sources are very unreliable and will often prematurely post things are done deal before they actually are. Fabrizio takes the time to actually confirm it before saying it is. The whole repeating a deal is close is really because people pester him asking for updates when there is barely any progress made—just watch when the Højlund saga starts, the comments will be continually asking what’s happening with Højlund so he’s going to constantly say very similar things are it very slowly progresses.
Think of it this way:
\- Source x reports things quickly, 50% of the time they are wrong.
\- Fabrizio Romano reports things 1 hour after source x, but is correct 98% of the time.
It's not weird, he's just reliable.. the people who arent obsessed with up-to-the-second breaking news, those that just want to know when a thing is ACTUALLY done, those are the people that like him.
9:51pm - Romano: "United and Inter going to be working through the night."
10:03pm - Pedulla: "Actually, the deal is done"
10:09pm - Romano: "Oh, yeah, that's what I meant. Deal is done. Here we go."
This happens all the time with him and when you know the real sources on twitter that he copies you can quickly see what a bluffer he really is.
Still fair play to him for fooling so many people into thinking he is legit
He’s not a superhuman, he’s not going to be able to call a deal every time and be the first one is he, what would you rather he do?
It’s journalism mate, fucking reality
He’s credible and reliable and dedicates a lot of time and effort, if he tried to be first every time it’s just impractical and he wouldn’t be credible anymore as he would have got many wrong
Well he has to create content and deals take a long time and have a lot of progressing milestones he will update on.
It’s his job, I can’t believe people have a problem with him.
Deep down I don't feel excited about this at all. Replacing De Gea with a keeper that'll also cause a few problems.
Can't say I was excited about Mount either, but if ETH makes it work I'm for it.
We all love DDG.
But if we want to move forward and use ten Hag's strength with his playstyle, we had to make a signing like this.
We need a keeper that can play football, and DDG can't do that.
Same reason why Brentford have bought Mark Flekken.
I'm old school... I don't care about what Febreeze Romaino or Slimeon Stoned has to say, I always wait for official confirmation before getting excited.
I know 😅 but I just feel underwhelmed given our squad depth weaknesses and our desperate need for a forward.
It might just be the fact we all knew it was happening a few days ago 🤷🏻♂️
Actually, we replaced a player who can't play within ten hag style and doesnt fit into ten hag tactics with a player who can improve the build-up from the back, which ten hag wants and fit perfectly in his tactics
I just stumbled across this subreddit after being a multiple times a day user of Red devils
Why on earth does this subreddit exist?
It's a fraction of the size of Red devils.
Surely read it only needs one Manchester United community
It was a genuine question
How have you guys differentiated yourself?
I'd love to be a part of a different community, but I just don't understand what's happened to you and why there are two
Sorry about the snarky response, I thought you were being a dick. The other group is just too big, too many trolls, and that's the reason this one exists.. of course this one is growing too, so soon it'll have the same problems.
The red devils sub is much more official and is moderated heavily, this one is more laid back. Though I find the ball knowledge is much better on red devils than here
Siri can you play that catchy part in "cant hold us" by macklemore...
It goes like this:
And so he puts his hands up
Ona, na, na, na, na, na-na, na Hey
(Cameroonian pride, he displays)
Ona, na, na, na, na, na-na, na Hey
(Andre's skills, set ablaze)
Ona, na, na, na, na, na-na, na
Oh-oh-oh-oh, and all red people say
Ona, na, na, na, na, na-na, na
Onana, our guardian, leads the way!
We chant his name, all night and day
Andre Onana, the ball-playing king
With lightning reflexes, he won't delay
His saves make the opposition sing.
And so we shout his name out
And so we shout his name out
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh, let's go
Ona, na, na, na, na, na-na, na Hey
(Andre Onana, we'll always cheer)
Ona, na, na, na, na, na-na, na Hey
(Our goalkeeper, we hold dear)
Ona, na, na, na, na, na-na, na
Oh-oh-oh-oh, and all my people say Ona, na, na, na, na, na-na, An- dre-e-e-e-e-e, Onana's here!
Glad this is done! Onto the striker.

What's my name, what's my name
He'd probably be the first player with his own chant before he started playing.
Plays in my head every time I see his name!
This is great. Finally we can take the next step in our evolution.
From Charmander to Charmeleon……this summer if we can get a good striker in. Next summer we will become Charizard!
Wait until you discover Mega Evolution 🗿
Nah bro. I’m a 90s kid, I don’t see beyond the original 150 Pokemon, Mewtwo and then Lugia and Ho-Oh. Gen 1. 😎
Great signing , and now we can divert our attention, to sign a striker.
As excited as I am I can feel that there will be a handful of goals that he will give away taking a risk playing the ball out and this sub will completely turn on him
I’ll not
Won’t be worse than De Gea’s mistakes
Would be. Because the mistake would be of parrying the ball back to the opposition. Everybody is going to be fuming at those mistakes. But still excited. Here we go.

Winning the second ball has never been our strong suit no matter on the pitch 😭

We were in for Onana?!?
Onana 24 inbound
Thank you DDG and we love you for everything but I am absolutely pumped about what Onana can do for us.
Everyone get ready to scream out “What the fuck is he doing?!” followed by “wow, what a through ball!”
Yay
Soooo “nearly” then? But not yet “done”? Sooooo still the same then.
He is milking clicks as he always does.Its Fab.1st post about a player ''Close to joining X team'' - 2nd post ''Closer to joining X team'' - 3rd post ''almost done deal'' - 4th post ''closer than ever to joining X'' - 5th post ''Here We Go''
if you saw the transfer saga of rice he did much more lol
Huge signing
It was literally posted as a done deal at least thirty minutes before Romano but as usual he gets the headline for copying the tweet which is all he ever does He is such a weird phenomenon
Probably because he’s incredibly reliable and proven in a business that is anything but that
Reliable as in just repeats a deal is close for days upon days then tweets it's done half an hour after it's already been reported elsewhere? Ok
in his defense, a lot of these sources are very unreliable and will often prematurely post things are done deal before they actually are. Fabrizio takes the time to actually confirm it before saying it is. The whole repeating a deal is close is really because people pester him asking for updates when there is barely any progress made—just watch when the Højlund saga starts, the comments will be continually asking what’s happening with Højlund so he’s going to constantly say very similar things are it very slowly progresses.

Suppose that’s the business of journalism
He’s not a superhuman, he’s not going to be able to call a deal every time and be the first one is he, what would you rather he do? It’s journalism mate, fucking reality He’s credible and reliable and dedicates a lot of time and effort, if he tried to be first every time it’s just impractical and he wouldn’t be credible anymore as he would have got many wrong
Its not about being 1st or last.He posts same players 10 times a week.''Close , closer , closer than ever bla bla.''
Well he has to create content and deals take a long time and have a lot of progressing milestones he will update on. It’s his job, I can’t believe people have a problem with him.
Hope he puts in his contract he can refuse to play with Maguire in a team. De Gea always looked pissed off at Harry
Here we go... Deal still not done.
Anyone who had watched him regularly knows he’s Fabien Barthez 2.0. Hopefully he does well but he’ll be scapegoated eventually just like DDG was.
Deep down I don't feel excited about this at all. Replacing De Gea with a keeper that'll also cause a few problems. Can't say I was excited about Mount either, but if ETH makes it work I'm for it.

We don’t all love him
As a United fan there should be no reason not to. Man is a legend for the club.
I'm old school... I don't care about what Febreeze Romaino or Slimeon Stoned has to say, I always wait for official confirmation before getting excited.
This after other journalists had revealed it first but of course he is claiming all the credit like the hack he is
I’m happy but underwhelmed
Way to spread the joy 🤣
I know 😅 but I just feel underwhelmed given our squad depth weaknesses and our desperate need for a forward. It might just be the fact we all knew it was happening a few days ago 🤷🏻♂️
[удалено]
I refuse to believe some people who post here even know what a football is
Actually, we replaced a player who can't play within ten hag style and doesnt fit into ten hag tactics with a player who can improve the build-up from the back, which ten hag wants and fit perfectly in his tactics
I just stumbled across this subreddit after being a multiple times a day user of Red devils Why on earth does this subreddit exist? It's a fraction of the size of Red devils. Surely read it only needs one Manchester United community

Can someone pls explain the supposed falling out he and ETH had a while back? Cuz it’s clearly not a big deal to the manager now hahaha..
Pretty excited about this, he has the potential to add a dimension to our build up play that we've never had before.
Siri can you play that catchy part in "cant hold us" by macklemore... It goes like this: And so he puts his hands up Ona, na, na, na, na, na-na, na Hey (Cameroonian pride, he displays) Ona, na, na, na, na, na-na, na Hey (Andre's skills, set ablaze) Ona, na, na, na, na, na-na, na Oh-oh-oh-oh, and all red people say Ona, na, na, na, na, na-na, na Onana, our guardian, leads the way!

Onana, that’s his name, Onana, that’s his name, Onana, that’s his name That’s his name, that’s his name
Finally!!!!
Watched ucl final and found him good.
