Manchester United would like a new goalkeeper. David de Gea, although the current Premier League Golden Glove holder, is not the right fit for an Erik ten Hag United side. They want a keeper that is good with their feet.
There are many goalkeepers that are good with their feet these days, so why specifically do the Red Devils need Andre Onana?
JJ Bull explains.

Also Onana speaks English, French and Spanish fluently. Is a real leader and confident player who is critical and expects a lot of teammates.
He's petulant. Not sure about those leadership qualities.
He can speak all of those, but not Italian😂
@@lololo6959 Not everybody can be Lukaku, lol.
Diogo Costa is mature for his age and speaks Portuguese, Spanish and English, in my point of view would be better in the long run!
@@FR3ZZ64 Bruv u would take Costa over Onana? Onana has played under Ten Hag previously, and he has better distribution and shot-stopping capabilities than Costa, if that CL final didn't impress you I don't know what will.
Onana would drastically improve how united can build up from the back and he can start counter attacks with his passing. We also saw in the CL final he can perform in the big games, which is something ddg has failed to do in recent years.
Yeah we so easily pressed into mistakes because de gea is such a liability.
We already have De Gea. I think we are fine
@@jamespringle7408 ? hes crap
@@motorsporthaven9373 he won the Golden glove
I hate these videos because they get me so hyped about new signings that would be perfect for United. Then United try to negotiate and end up paying more than the amount the perfect signing would have gone for, for a different player who is older and not as good.
As an Inter fan I would be very sad to see him go, but cannot deny it would be a brilliant signing for United. It has been an absolute pleasure watching Onana over this last season with Inter
Thanks bro
Inter owner just buying talent and selling for profit...
@@wassim9763 is that a bad thing
@@wassim9763 they have to sell players as they are in a bad financial situation
Sold United a virus, and Inter has improved defensively after onana left, thanks Inter
This aged well
As someone who watched Onana for years at Ajax, he is amazing. When he peaks, he can literally do anything. Shot stopping, pass, cross-pass, solid in the air, AMAZING reflexes, coaches defense, quick thinker, fast (both in reflexes and in sweeping) solid throws, and has the charisma and calmness to boot. The only thing I can think of is penalty stopping, unsure how great he is at that. But Onana due his football capabilities rather than just goalkeeping, is definitely in the top5 goalkeepers.
ddg cant save a pen to save his life so not a downgrade there
It's going to be extremely hard to not find De Gea as United's #1. He had become synonymous to United. Truly a legend of the club. He will always have a special place in the hearts of all the United fans but time changes. United needed to move on and De Gea wasn't the future anymore.
Thank you De Gea.
No he hasn't? Most Manchester United fans wanted him gone along time ago
Who else just gets super hyped seeing JJ’s turn to do the video😄
Onana is also extremely comfortable with both feet which could help United balance out their natural bias towards building up on the left. To switch the ball with a 1 time pass
I'd love to see a stat or map showing their natural bias to the left, because a lot of their buildup happens with Antony too.
@@CoconutJewcenope, look at how bruno and eriksen drift to the left and leave antony and sancho isolated. Sancho thrives in link up play and likes to play intricate football, same with antony. This is why mount is also a good signing as he tends to drift to the right
lol
The amount of times I’ve seen De Gea kick the ball out of play is criminal
Because you know the opposition is like “thank you”
The last City game, he kept doing that and I kept banging my head!
It will be same for onana if we don't sing a striker who can hold the ball. Even Pep said Rashford couldn't hold the ball and they kept losing the ball
@@bigshaq311 That was because we had to kick it long all the time as yet again without a comfortable keeper with his feet your a man down to start attacks from the back.
haha
Becomes even more imperative signing him considering United lack a controller type midfielder in the first phase and Varane and Casemiro's inability to break lines and build up efficiently like Lisandro. A Goalkeeper like him, and possibly a better CB/RB drastically improves the first phase and allows United to sustain pressure way better, something that's necessary to go far in competitions like the UCL
Well said !
Agreed but we gotta be careful that we dont forget about the defending part. Varane and Casemiro aren't the best in breaking lines but their defensive abilities outweigh that. I'm slightly worried that we'll get players who are very good at going forward but lack strong defensive capabilities
Casemiro has very elite passing
Casemiro is the start of a lot of attacks at United. He makes quick passes forward from which they can counterattack, while a lot of other United players hold onto the ball for much too long.
what are u on about.casemiro has more progressive passes than even rodri😂😂😂
United spending £70m on a player who was free last summer whilst also letting their number 1 go for free just sums them up
genius management😂
United actually spent 43 mil pounds expert
@@triggasoweto6734 sorry, United spending £43m on a player who was free last summer whilst also letting their number 1 go for free just sums them up. It’s almost like I posted that 3 weeks ago and used figures quoted at the time.
The mentality of this guy is strong and would favor the burden of a number one at united plus he is two footed which makes him unpredictable. What a keeper
Ye is exactly who we need. Which is why we won’t get him. X
He's been a top class keeper for years. It was a pity about his ban, I wanted Utd to sign him prior to that when he was still at Ajax. Good shot-stopper, excellent with his feet, years of international experience, knows how to build an attack from the back. An all-round upgrade.
Same, but our budget is a big unknown.
Pretty sure Onana's arrival would do a casemiro-esque improvement for us. I would say it is higher in my list than signing #9 and #8. I prefer him over the other gks because he is a good shot stopper to, for those inevitable manutd defensive moments.
I agree. He is of higher priority than a no 9.
i think priority is split between GK and striker. Like we need one of each this trasnfer window. Think we need to strengthen our midfield as well but absolute priority should be GK and ST. I have so much love and respect for De Gea but he is a liability now. As you said, i think Onana would improve us on the same level as Casemiro, our defence is already so good. Imagine if we improved it with a much better box presence.
@@mrsswindon well said. If all we do is buy onana can kane. It won't be a bad transfer window. Of course we need more signings but those two signings will improve us.(Of course i believe McGuire should leave. That guy will better off leaving.)
@@nyemikeonukwu6964 yeah i hope he leaves as well. Not sure if ETH would maybe keep him for another year just as backup and have Varane, Martinez and Lindleof as the main 3. Lindleof has really shined the past few months where defensively, we've stayed solid while Martinez was out injured.
mate, i think it could make more difference than Bruno Fernandes. Man United's number one weakness is their ability to play out from the back, and so many teams prey on it, to good effect. It would be game-changing
Me opening a Tifo MUFC video:
“Please be JJ”
Onana reallly impressed me against City. I hadn't watched him closely until then. I was convinced after that. If he's available for around £55m then it's a great deal.
We just signed him for £45m😎
When I know Onana is a great goalkeeper is when at one time man city was afraid to press inter Milan and you don’t find that a lot
lol😂
Getting Onana in would be a huge step in the right direction. It's the type of move we need to make to make up for losing out on Kim Min Jae. We need to move away from emergency stop-gap signings, lets get in players that can change the system and play at their best for many years to come.
lol
bruh he just decided to be incapable of not making an error every game lmao@@robertmccormack1208
Completely agree with this. There are some pundits pushing staying with De Gea to prioritise other areas but the fundamental build up play is the most important thing to start implementing so Onana should be priority no 1. It’s a bonus that he knows Ten Hags system inside out too.
lol
Onana is the final jigsaw to seal united's fate of perpetual mid table team 😂
The best thing about onana is he has worked with ten haag at ajax and ten haag stood by him at ajax
I remember when Arsenal were linked with him 2-3 years ago and thought he would fit like a glove. Luckily, Ramsdale provides a similar profile of player (+ is homegrown). Sucks he had that odd ban but he really shined in Inter’s Champions League run
Ramsdale is similar?
Ramsdale is similar? 💀
Ramsdale 💀
Similar profile but my word is Ramsdale a bozo. He's so inconsistent that you can't determine whether he's good at something or not
Just goes to show how much the Sensible transfer video for United had very little content this time around. Great video though, he's seems like the perfect fit.
Getting Onana would make me feel less bad about missing out on Kim Min-Jae because him alone makes a huge difference to help us build up from the back and play with a high line, plus he can sweep up as the last line of defense too, he's almost like a Defensive Midfielder/Regista in many ways. We'd still need to buy a ball playing right sided CB either way, I hope we get Todibo because Disasi is apparently slow.
Disasi is not slow a team like Monaco is playing more less possession and stays low block mostly how do u expect their defence to react,they wait and anticipate, if disasi can play at right back c'mon u cant tell me he is slow slow players don't play at wing right back
@@saheedolawle I said 'apparently', I don't really know how slow he is cause I don't really watch Ligue 1, just going off of what's been said about Disasi. Also even Smalling played RB in some games for us in the past under Fergie, he was pretty slow too. Whatever it is we just don't want another Maguire, let's hope Disasi isn't one if we get him.
This has aged terribly
9:35 just look at him running back to his goal as soon as he passes the ball 😭😭
Well done video with alote of ways of understanding 😁👌
You’ve done this video very clear, very good!!!
Very very educative and informative video. Great work!
Really good JJ, love the analysis. You should think about a podcast to discuss this type of stuff… would be really good, maybe call it the TiFo football podcast, I’m sure people would like it!
I'm struggling to figure if this is sarcastic or actual concern😂😂
@@jeffthedonn9558 ssshhhhh…it’s a cunning plan to get the pod back!!! Don’t tell JJ and the guys though🤣🤣
@@brianmcnamara7728 😂😂
6:17 but what about the offside trap, if the defenders don't go deep for marking and interception they can simply come forward just like Barcelona used to do during the year 2016-2017 and Pep is a tactical genius and he knows how to use it.
Andre Onana has his pros and cons as well. Well good with his feet and good off the line.
The cons are
1) Onana does not have the best relationship with Ten Hag leaving Ajax on bad term.
2) Onana was banned from playing for 12 months by UEFA after testing positive for Furosemide, a banned substance.
3) He does make mistakes over dribbling
4) His long pass which is good but only effective when United can win headers and hold the ball up
point 1 is corrected if ten hag want him
Point 2 he was
Point 3 every sweeper keeper overdoes sometimes. It is awesome when it works
Point 4 onana had nothing to do with that
well.. this hasn't aged well so far and it's only been three months :')
This was a really solid video. Well done.
Honestly if we can get him I think in some ways he would be just as an important signing as a striker.
yes you can sign him in your dreams lol,forza Inter
@@movieshistory768 Don't get butt hurt my friend. 2 Things here, 1. I am not the Sporting Director at United. 2 I have no idea if we can even buy him with the mess United are in.
@@movieshistory768you'll see
@@movieshistory768gonna age well this
Manchester United fans deserve a good goalkeeper, hopefully they sign Onana ❤
JJBull I can say this with confidence. You are the first youtube analyst that I can see knows ball.
Excelent analysis!
Onana would be the Ederson to Man City, the Allison to Liverpool, for United, so so good
DDG is not just bad with his feet, he also happens to make howlers at important crucial matches fairly consistently. Chelsea FA Cup semis, top four crunch matches against Arsenal (twice) 2019, 2021, Barcelona UCL knockout in 19, plus various ones that ruin momentum against Watford, Spurs and Everton. Additional to this, he doesn't dominate his box, and so he doesn't stop chances before they even form, but also by not coming and claiming the ball early, the team never gets the chance to counter-attack - which is what GKs like Schmeichel used to do - grab the ball in the air at the 6-yard box, run to the edge of the pen box, and throw it and launch a counter-attack. Man Utd - a traditional counter-attacking team without a counter-attacking keeper.
What I mean is, fine if you're no Onana who starts counter-attacks with your feet, but you have hands, and you can still do a bit of that. 10+ years and no improvement on that part.
Super informative video again. This channel is super refreshing compared to a lot of the click bait channels on here
JJ seemed ok with doing this United video. Thanks JJ!
united in the past always thrived off of just having an absolutely overwhelming attack and having a solid 4-5 players including the goalkeeper for defensive purposes. de gea never suited that for united because he was never aggressive, his attitude was always "you're going to score less than us" but united always played the game of "we're going to score more than you". onana being able to help out the attack more directly is really gonna put united back on track fro this, and i can't wait for ten hag to bring his old 3-1-6 formation to united and just lay the pain on other teams who will be forced to play deeper
Wow I love your teaching,you are perfect in it.Onana is great and will be come the best goalkeeper in the nearest future.More love to you Sir for putting the African King and greatest footballer of all time in Africa Samuel Etoo❤❤❤
Im just relieved the Jordan Pickford links to manutd have stopped
Nice shirt JJ, looking smart!
We have all seen how Allison and Enderson have improved Liverpool and MCFC respectively with their passing and stsarting counters. Onana is an add to De Gea and MUFC.
In my opinion, I think they should sign Diogo Costa from Porto. He’s also very good with his feet and a good shot stopper. Onana is cool too though
Slightly disagree that De Gea is the only one to blame for Brentford scoring from that throw-in. No, he shouldn't have made that pass when he did, but there is a much larger issue for us, in my opinion. We currently do not have midfielders who are press resistant when in possession, meaning it is very difficult for our MFs to either find options to pass to, or for them to break past a press like a Frenkie De Jong/Modric would. Next step for us is building a midfield that is equipped to deal with pressing.
ETH is a high level tactician. I'm impressed
He improves united in possession and playing out from the back. I can’t do another season with de gea.
Same here brother
I’ll also want United to recall Kovar he’s also really good with his feet and will be our cup goalkeeper I don’t want Henderson again
@@ItsJesssee Henderson has burned his bridge with united so there’s no chance of him coming back, thankfully
I laughed so hard when I saw that top left touch near the halfway line in the city touchmap 😂
JJ looks really smart in that shirt. Nice.
But JJ, isn't Diogo Costa renowned for being a great shot stopper AND distributor of the ball too? Could you explain why Costa would be inferior to Onana specifically?
JJ concentrates on Uniteds potential build up play and Onana beats Costa (arguably any other gk itw aswell) quite comfortably in that regard. Costa is the better shot stopper but doesn’t possess Onanas borderline elite qualities on the ball.
@@s.yohannes6429 i watched onana on the CL (to be fair i don't watch serie A) and i watch every Porto game. And honestly, i just don't see that much difference in their distribution.
Onana might be more adventurous with is positioning and passing. But in passing skill, Diogo Costa is better. And if you are talking about long distribution, Diogo is much better.
@tomasprior3328 if you're a porto fan you're obviously going to be biased lol. either way - any transfer for costa would cost way more than onana given costa's age, so financially it makes more sense to go for onana than costa
Diogo Costa also was very poor in the World Cup so it's questionable if he can handle the pressure of being Utd number 1
Onana is excellent with both feet...where he absolutely trounces Costa is the composure on the ball.
Nice shirt JJ
10:56 not a big tall lad!? I'm pretty sure that was Cristiano Ronaldo playing CF there. He is 6ft2 and renowned for his prowess in the air...
Expectation: Onana
Reality: Pickford
👌
Pickford gets a lot of stick but he really is a great keeper
i don't mind Pickford, wish these Twitter trolls would stop criticising him.
The shirts at the back are in numerical order 😌
I'd love to see Onana and Maguire link up 😍
Very good video . We’ll put together
Amazing how the game has evolved and the goalie asset is even more valuable "out of goal" so to speak. Makes logical sense but so fascinating to see this development.
Surely he'd be downsizes exchanging Milan for Manchester, however?
There much more money to be made in Manchester than Milan
JJ Bull - best videos on TH-cam. 😅
I didn't mean that sarcastically lol
i concur
Nice shirt JJ, looking sharp
Read an article about his really unfortunate “doping” ban and this guy has a really strong character I think he’d be a fantastic signing for us.
You had me at "worked under Ten Hag at Ajax".
Bring back the podcast!
Why do we need Onana? Excellent on the ball, great goalie, sweeper and the perfect player to fit the system Ten Hag wants to play. He's our Ederson and Allison should we sign him.
i think ten hag watches your videos 😂
I thought him & ETH weren’t on good terms before he left Ajax. When he was banned for illegal substances. Isn’t that literally the reason he left to Inter Milan?
He was banned for inadvertently taking a prohibited substance. Ajax supported him whilst suspended and wanted to resign him to a longer contract after he served his suspension. However he declined to resign even after the support Ajax had shown him and was thus a free agent over the summer when inter signed him. Logically Ajax benched him because of this, but when they were forced to play him anyway because of injuries to other goalkeepers he wasn't focused, played really bad and also said that he didn't care what the fans thought about him when he was playing that poorly.
@@stenroelofs9077 ok?
@@kevinrod14basically he is saying onana has what the football manager game would call a mercenary mindset. If he sees he can get a better deal he is willing to drop professionality as long as he sees no financial benefit to it.
Those bad games and mindset at the end of his ajax run hugely dropped my previous very positive view on him.
Are there not, multiple reported incidents of Onana and EtH not getting on though? I dont disagree that a ball playing keeper would improve the side, but I dont want to bring one in that will cause issues in the dressing room.
He should be the priority right now, the first signing.
What a video🔥
Not related to the video but where do you get the pictures they have on the wall?
After he did not play for a year due to his doping scandal and then forced himself out of Ajax without a transfer fee, many Ajax fans REALLY hated his guts. But tbh, many Ajax fans know he probably is the best Ajax goalkeeper since vd Sar, maybe even top 3-5 ever?
I'm curious, did the Diogo Costa link in Portugal disappear at all?
nice nakamura kit on the wall 😎😎
every time i see a video for you guys (here or on your other channel - Tifo)
i wonder ... how come that you do not coach a team
i am overwhelmed - though not so expert about tactics myself - by the details you pluck when analysing 👏
JJ has some coaching badges...
If Man Utd need Onana so much, then why didn't you include him in the sensible transfers video for Man Utd?
Why would he be cheap? Has he got a release clause? Because otherwise, he's got four-year left on his contract with the CL finalists. I can't imagine them giving him up easily.
The only issue is, Onana has a bit of an attitude problem. Specifically he fell out with Ten Hag at the end of his time at Ajax, and he also got send away from his national team because he didn't like the system the manager wanted to play. Not a great trait to have for a team in transition and a little bit prone to changing managers.
Except tbf, the national team coach was incompetent, and the short passing Onana wanted to do is exactly what Utd want from him. And Ten Hag wouldn't be pushing for him if he didn't believe their old falling out to be a non-issue
he got a great relationship with Ten Hag, not with Ajax tho.
Im so sad it clearly looks like we are losing Onana one way or the other.
🎶Onana, what's my name🎶
🎶Onana, what's my name🎶
Couldn’t stop thinking about that song😂
Massive upgrade on De Gea for sure, so I would be very happy with him. But IMO Diogo Costa would be a much better signing. Costa may be a slightly worse sweeper, but he is as good as Onana at playing out from the back, whilst being much better than him at claiming crosses and saving penalties. Most importantly though, he is almost 4 years younger than Onana. Seems like both would cost around 50m, so its a no brainer to go for Costa instead IMO.
Pep also made a good point about United. Even with a goalkeeper with accurate long ball distribution, our forwards lose the aerial challenge or can't hold the ball up so that also needs addressed
Nobody seems to point that out, they say instead that De Gea was at fault.
@@NYX_8De Gea can't pass short either so it's irrelevant.
@@randperson7692 i meant that Rashford and all never contested for the duels.
@@randperson7692 the point is we need a new gk but also forwards that can receive the long passes. If Onana comes in and is clipping these accurate long balls but we just lose them then we are back to the same issue in a way
Onana to manchester united HERE WE GO!! sources :- fab 😉
Nmecha might be a good player for United to pursue.
Havana onana~❤
Every morning, I wake up and hope United are in for Onana.
I thought Onana and ETH were on bad terms at Ajax after he was banned, or maybe I remember that incorrectly.
Wonder if Moyes recognized how DDG couldn't play with his feet and that was why fellaini was often in the team, to offer the long ball
Wow geat, yet another Man Utd vid.
i would love to see a sensible transfers for inter!!! think about it.
this guys gonna bomb out
Is Vicario any good on the ball ?
This should have been on the sensible transfers video.
o7
we got our man
What stops the other team from winning possession and shooting a chip shot right away over the keeper
If Manchester United wants to win the PL, they need to sign someone like him, along with a proven goal scorer in Harry Kane and a ball carrying midfielder who can break those lines when facing teams with a low block. They're currently lacking a lot of things, but I'm sure ETH will gradually improve them.
With all the talk about the feet, people are forgetting that the main job of a goalkeeper is to save goals. While de gea is not good with his feet, he is an excellent shot stopper. And with the history of man United’s leaky Defence I think onana will struggle because he’s a pretty average shot stopper
I think there's essentially two ways to prevent the opponent from scoring. proactive and passive. Proactive is when you retain possession, limiting the time opponents can have the ball, and we all know you can't score without the ball. Less possession = fewer chances to score.
Then there's passive, where you place your bets on your defence to make tackles/block shots and the keeper to save shots that are on target.
Logically, the proactive approach is way more sustainable. And I think you already know which category de gea belongs to without me spelling it out.
@@MrWill1729 what I’m trying to tell is that onana has his flaws just like de gea. Man united will become better at ball possession but when it comes to counter attacks from oppositions or a more quality team(man city, Liverpool) then shot stopping is basically the most important thing.
@@kanishk4017 i dont think onana will be worse than de gea. Maybe he wont make spectacular saves like de gea does but he also doesn't make simple mistakes.
A lot of those 7 goals conceded against Liverpool were from really tight angles that a lot of keepers could have saved.
His mistake against everton in the FA cup a few months ago(the one where he had one arm leaning on the post and the ball nutmegged him) was easily one of the strangest mistakes I've seen a "top" goalkeeper commit, ever.
Even when it comes to shot stopping he's become wildly inconsistent, is my point
Bro, you predicted the future.
