The source of MU’s performance crisis is a loosely organized defense. Because of that, only when the hole in the backline is patched can the “Red Devils” be able to aim for victory.
Goalkeeper Andre Onana caused great disappointment to MU fans . A series of mistakes by the Cameroonian goalkeeper has caused the “Red Devils” to face difficulties recently. MU’s defense has rarely been so disappointing, with the starting point being Onana’s lack of certainty in goal.
At this time, Manucians hope that the MU leadership will bring back David De Gea . The Spanish goalkeeper has not yet officially joined a team, but is waiting for opportunities. The January transfer window is coming, if the Old Trafford team does not hurry, they may miss a golden opportunity.
The problem is that bringing De Gea back is like coach Erik Ten Hag admitting his mistake. But if the Dutch coach does not lower his ego and act in accordance with the situation, his chair could collapse at any time.
Bringing De Gea back will first improve defense and limit losses for MU. Last season, De Gea won the Premier League Golden Glove award for keeping 17 clean sheets. This season, Onana’s numbers are not bad, 5 matches after 14 rounds, along with Nick Pope (Newcastle) and Sam Johnstone (Crystal Palace) as the leaders in the clean sheet keeping index of goalkeepers.
However, De Gea’s return also addresses the mental factor. The players as well as many Manucians have special love for De Gea, the goalkeeper who has been with the “Red Devils” from 2011 to 2023. Coach Ten Hag’s team clearly needs support in terms of support. spirit on all sides instead of being fiercely criticized as currently.
Furthermore, the “Red Devils” goal really needs strong competition, after Onana made a series of mistakes recently. In particular, Onana can leave MU to return to the Cameroon national team next January and attend the 2024 CAN African Championship (it has not yet been decided whether he will attend or not). For many reasons, coach Ten Hag’s team needs the return of David De Gea.
