For context, De Gea is now at Fiorentina, and having a great season - becoming a real fan favourite. My friend is absolutely baffled that they would have swapped out De Gea for Onana.

De Gea wasnât the perfect keeper. He clearly has a lot of weaknesses. But shot stopping isnât one of them despite some howlers creeping in during his last years at United.
Just watching ManU v. Forest now. My enjoyment is badly compromised by Forestâs sky blue away kit, I keep forgetting which side to despise more.

Fans will moan at the ref but if I was a fan I would be really angry at my keeper.
Try it once to see if you can get away with it but donât do it 4-5 times.
Noticed the ref blew on 7 mins exact which is kind of funny when you consider this.

OK, I did not know that Forest had a cheap knock-off Grealish. This is really getting confusing

Just looked at the other goals for Forest and frankly Onana doesnât do very well on the first.
He doesnât move and yet itâs hardly in the corner.

Feels like Fabinho â EndĹ in that regardâŚ
Itâs even funnier if you consider that if he just left it there and let the wind blow it into the position he wanted, the free kick would still have been taken quickerâŚ

Van der Saar was another who falls into that category. Great goalie and like the ones you mentioned, if he had to dive to make a save you knew it was a good shot.
Thatâs Giuseppe Marotta. I swear, if Inter could lend us the guy for one summer transfer window, weâd be winning the league for the following three years. Consistently the best sporting director in Italy for past I-donât-know-how-many years, likely the best one working in European football.
That said, itâs hardly the only deal where they got screwed big time by the selling party - their fans will pull up Hodgson and subsequent King Kenny days but, Carroll and Downing aside, Liverpoolâs spending never got anywhere near the levels of their spending since Ferguson called it a day.

Do people expect any different from United? They have a new manager but also have the same inconsistent under performing players.
Its mad how they extended Ten Haags deal and let him buy a ton of poor players in the window knowing they would sack him as soon as he had poor run.
The bew bloke has a lot of work ahead in clearing out the rubbish and bringing in players he wants

Antony.
Not on the bench. Not injured.
Just shit.
Second most expensive player in their history, too.
Crikey.

Dan Ashworth has left his post - 5months into the job
Manchester Unitedâs chief Dan Ashworth has walked away from Old Trafford just five months into his tenure.
The Athletic reveals that the ex-Newcastle supremo has bid farewell after a critical sit-down with summer recruit Omar Berrada. Itâs been hinted at that Sir Jim Ratcliffe played a pivotal role in these developments, and the departure of Ashworth is being described as âmutual.â Despite this shake-up, both Berrada and technical director Jason Wilock maintain their positions at the club.

Was there a need for both Ashworth and Wilcox? The latter had previously worked under Berrada at City and I canât remember how their duties were split and if Ashworth had been brought in before Berrada had been on boardâŚ?
