Onana won’t be starting the season due to injury, I was thinking Manchester United will sign a new goalkeeper, and just let Onana go, but they not really ready to sign a new goalkeeper, and making use of Onana by next season might not really be helpful to them, because we all saw how Onana performed last season.

Onana's poor performance in the Manchester United defense actually indicates that the team's defense is weak. The goalkeeper is never solely to blame for the number of goals conceded, responsibility is shared when the defense is weak. The performance of the defenders must also be considered to ensure the team is truly balanced across all aspects. Even if Manchester United eventually finds a replacement goalkeeper, if the defense doesn't improve, they will still concede many goals.

Onanas performance was terrible last season, and I was thinking Manchester United are going to take it serious to sign a new goalkeeper, but as we can see, Manchester United are still satisfied with Onana, they are satisfied with the way he is performing, or maybe they expecting improvement in Onana performance by next season, but am not really expecting anything different from Onana’s previous performance.

If Manchester United still want Onana to stay, then they should just sign another goalkeeper, and Onana should be a backup goalkeeper for Manchester United, they can be using him for Matches that they know won’t be difficult for them, but depending on Onana by next season doesn’t make any sense.

Onana is certainly responsible for his own performance, but we also have to be realistic that Manchester United's defense was also poor at the same time. Manchester United must find a solution to improve their fragile defense, which is often vulnerable to attacks. They need to bring in some good players to improve Onana's performance between the sticks; otherwise, whoever they choose will continue to perform poorly.

I don't blame just one player for the team's poor performance throughout the season. The entire team and coaching staff must be involved and held responsible. There's no way Onana could have held back the attack alone, even if he made some brilliant saves.

'Here We Go' - Fabrizio Romano: Man Utd Agree £70m Deal to Sign Bryan Mbeumo

Manchester United have agreed a £70m deal with Brentford to sign forward Bryan Mbeumo, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Red Devils are keen to add to Ruben Amorim's squad this summer ahead of pre-season and have already completed a deal for Brazil forward Matheus Cunha, while the club are still looking to add in several other positions too.

But the attack continues to be a priority after a disappointing season in which the club finished 15th in the Premier League, and now they are set to seal a deal for the Cameroon international.

The 25-year-old winger, who has been described as 'ridiculous' by Rio Ferdinand, made it clear to Brentford that his preference for a move this summer was to Old Trafford despite interest from Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, now managed by his former boss Thomas Frank.

Now a deal has been agreed for a fee worth around £65m plus £5m in add-ons after the Reds submitted a third offer. United submitted a second bid earlier in the window, with an opening offer worth around £55m being rejected last month.

It’s good United is strengthening their attack with signing the likes of Mateus Cunha and now Bryan Mbeumo, players who have proven themselves in the premier league but to me they’re still average players. With the money they used in buying Mbeumo they could have easily bought Victor Osimhen though I’m not sure Victor Osimhen wants to play for Man United considering they’re not playing in the UEFA Champions League.
Another area United also need reinforcements is in the Defence, they really need a new good goalkeeper, Onana’s inconsistency and mistakes have cost them a lot in the past. They need a new person who will give him competition.

[$weetne$$]

Onana have been criticised a lot of time for his countless errors he has made last season and until now, many Manchester United fans have been clamoring for a change in the goalkeeper and a new replacement is brought to them, but till now the manager is still having trust in the goalkeeper and still wants to keep him as the main goalkeeper of the team. Manchester United have been playing a not too great football and I hope they can improve by next season and get to sign new players to improve their play next season.

It is very okay for a team to have as many goal keepers as they want, provided they can afford it, onan has been of poor performance enough to be replaced,  even if we know the defender has a big share I the blame but hi mistakes are often costly and not mostly blamable other defence.  I am hoping he will improve this season seeing that he has got a replacement who will likely replace him if his mistakes continues so maybe  that will make him sit up and improve his performance. So still making him the main keeper is not out of place which will rather help him stay conscious and improve.

Meanwhile, in this friendly match, Aston Villa failed, losing 1-0 to Walsall F.C. of Football League Two. Fortunately, it was only a friendly, and hopefully, Aston Villa can be more enthusiastic and serious in their next match.

It was a pity they had to lose to A League 2 club, because looking at their performance last season, it was that they should not have lost to such a club. but this may be Aston Villa who are not so serious in this match that they missed 1 goal, and the players may still be regaining fitness, so they are not so focused to face a team like Walsall. hopefully next season they can improve and be more focused.

Yes, perhaps because they didn't take it seriously, which prevented the squad from giving their best in that match. Hopefully, they'll do it much better in their first Premier League match. Their opponent is Newcastle, so this will certainly be a tough match for them.

In fact, Aston Villa have confirmed one of their players leaving to Benfica as a season-long loan..

Source: Aston Villa can confirm that Enzo Barrenechea has joined Benfica on a season-long loan.

This defensive midfielder is still 24 years old and could also play in central midfield. The loan will expire on June 30, 2026.

Separate games mean nothing. Maybe PSG was exhausted by the previous games plus everyone predicted an easy win for PSG and this led to the burnout of the PSG players. But even if Chelsea is really stronger than the best team of the season at the moment, this does not automatically mean good prospects ahead. Bookmakers quote Chelsea's chances of winning the title as 1 to 13. I think you will agree that against the background of City, which went into crisis, the fresh champion and Arsenal, which have passed their peak, this looks like a very weak quote.

That’s not an excuse at all, I think they were outclassed at their own game and prime and no excuses for it. Congratulations and well done to Chelsea for being able to win that game despite the odds that were against them and finally redeeming the EPL from humiliation from a farmer’s league side lol.

I don't knkw why people are giving excuses for PSG failure in the finals. PSG won Madrid 4-0. How would such club be exhausted when they defeated their opponents with ease. Chelsea also played in the semifinals. The fact is that Chelsea was far better than PSG in the finals.

PSG has been playing against strong opponents in succession. It was obvious that the PSG players wouldn't be able to maintain that level of pressure on their opponents; they were exhausted, while Chelsea has been playing against weak opponents. It's true that they won and are to be congratulated, but that doesn't mean they'll win the Premier League and the European Champions League, as some people are already thinking.

Some people are placing Chelsea as if they were the favorite to win the Premier League and the Champions League because they think that beating PSG makes them the strongest team in the world and invincible, when that's not true. The Club World Cup and the Conference League aren't on the same level of difficulty as the Premier League and the European Champions League.

'Here We Go' - Fabrizio Romano: Man Utd Agree £70m Deal to Sign Bryan Mbeumo

Manchester United have agreed a £70m deal with Brentford to sign forward Bryan Mbeumo, according to Fabrizio Romano.

MU seems lose their pull when signing new players. They spent months of Mbeumo's transfer and get £0 discount for his price. Even they have to pay more as Mbeumo's asking price started from £65m, then jumped to £70m .

[armanda90]

Buyinu Bryan Mbeumo was a good move for Manchester United. Manchester inited have not been very active in  the transfer market this season. But even then they have managed to add two experienced players to the squad. Manchester united have added Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to the squad.

Manchesterunited needed a regular scorer. And they got it. Bryan mbeumo scored 20 goals and 7 assists in the brentford jersey last season. Mbeumo performed excellently last season. At the same time , Cunha is also a very talented player. If these two players can adapt well, we will doubtlessly see a stronger attack for Manchester United next season.

Good moving for Manchester United after success signing Bryan Mbeumo, last season based on 38 appearance in Premier League he scored 20 goals and made 7 assists with Brentford. Recently Manchester United have signed Matheus Cunha from Wolves and right now have two top central forward but not any news for signing new players with other position, difficulty scoring goals last season make Ruben Amorim priority for signing central forward and signed two top central forward recently seems more enough get higher standings position for next season.

quite tough negotiations for signing Bryan Mbeumo due Brentford want offer around 71 million euro and finally Manchester United reach agreement with that offer, so far Manchester United have spent around 127 million euro for signing three players from Matheus Cunha spent 62 million euro, Bryan Mbeumo around 65 million euro and spent 7 million euro for signing Diego León.

PSG fans should face the reality and understand that they were outclassed by Chelsea. They were taken by surprise and their game plan couldn't match Chelsea's surprise package they should move on from that defeat and prepare for the next tournament. it hurts to perform very well defeat several tough opponents and get kicked out flawlessly but then they can't rewind time so they better move on.

I am happy Manchester United finally succeeded in bringing Bryan Mbeumo to Old Trafford this season. Now that Manchester United has succeeded in bringing Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to Old Trafford, they should focus on signing a quality striker so that they can be able to compete in the Premier League and become a team that will be feared and difficult to win against in the Premier League.

Billions of butterfly fills my stomach whenever I see that we've just wrapped up deals for two players that were not just top performers for their respective clubs, but were also top five Premier League performing strikers in the Premier League 24/25 season. That said, I want to see them wrap up a deal for a Central midfielder, Goalkeeper and lastly a Striker. The Goalkeeper and Central forward should be done swiftly.

[$weetne$$]

I don't knkw why people are giving excuses for PSG failure in the finals. PSG won Madrid 4-0. How would such club be exhausted when they defeated their opponents with ease. Chelsea also played in the semifinals. The fact is that Chelsea was far better than PSG in the finals.

These set of persons who are yet to get over the loss PSG suffered are just  been pained out of their expectations and probably their stakes on the game mostly with the gamblers.  They are finding it really difficult how Chelsea won PSG flawlessly even when they were considered to be at their peak. The whole story of exhaustion and excuses is just to justify the loss but since that can not change the results,  it is very much needless.

[moneystery]

It would be wise for Manchester United to look for another goalkeeper besides Onana, who has frequently made blunders for the team. Moreover, Onana has had a history of injuries like this, so the team needs to have alternative goalkeepers so that Manchester United can be in good shape when the season resumes. I also want to see Manchester United undergo changes for the better next season, so every player must be healthy, and the team must also be willing to buy new players to strengthen the team even further compared to last season.

but onana's recovery was faster than expected and he is ready to play next season. so this cancels manchester united's plans to buy a new goalkeeper, and they rely more on playing their backup goalkeeper, altay bayindir, tom heaton, or radek vitek. although i also hope that manchester united can play a new goalkeeper, like emiliano martínez, he is a pretty good option for manchester united at the moment. but with the fact that onana's condition is getting better, maybe we will still see him continue to play this season.

I am still surprised that some PSG fans haven't moved on or are still finding it difficult to move on based on the sudden defeats that their suffered at the hands of Chelsea. Although I am neither a Chelsea fans nor a PSG fans but still,I was surprised at the same time also impressed on how Chelsea did it. It was unbelievable,like at a time everyone was less expecting from Chelsea that the blues surprises us all by shutting up PSG team and fans for good.
However PSG were almost close to winning the club world cup tournament beside every fingers were pointing at them as the most favorites team to win the tournament but the blues were still able to turns things around by defeating PSG in a full time game.

It should be said that psg did not play well against maresca's match strategy . Maresca was able to recognize  the weaknesses of psg squad well. And PSG's players could not take any advantage against chelsea. Maresca did his homework very  well. In just 30 minutes , chelsea broke through psg strong defense and scored two goals . Chelsea's players were able to successfully repel every attack made by PSG's players. Chelsea's defense and goalkeper's performance were also very good as well as chelsea' s attack. As a result  PSG's strong attack could not score a single goal.

I'm kind of excited for Manchester United new signing mbeumo at least with cuhan Bruno and mbeumo at their front line they are kind of confident of the front and now I will still urge them to get sesko as striker and also a good keeper then for sure they will make top four because I don't really think onana is really a good choice for the goal post, if they fail to get a good keeper for next season they might have been scoring goals while onana will be conceding to cancel it, so it will be best they get another keeper and sell onana totally.

I just feel sorry for Manchester United if Onana continues to make costly mistakes next season. This isn't about hating or disliking the goalkeeper, but rather about protecting the team from the fatal mistakes we saw from Onana last season and the season before. So, I want to see Onana improve if he remains the first-choice goalkeeper for Manchester United, because next season, Manchester United needs to be in a much better position than last season, as the team's condition last season was truly dire in the Premier League.

The irony is that the EPL is also a farm league. Maybe even worse than League 1. Do you think the newcomers will leave the EPL at the end of the season or will some stay?  The balance of power between the Premier League and the Championship does not look adequate.
As for the title race, of course I would like a competitive season, but the likelihood that we will see one team dominate is high. Given how much Liverpool are suddenly willing to spend.

In 2021 when Ronaldo made back a second return to Manchester United, as it was stated in the interview he made, which part of it was the dilapidation state of team and training facilities. He said things didn't change that it's almost the same way he left things back in 2009 that's how they are. Of course we all know that in that period of time his played for Real Madrid and Juventus and noticed that these teams had upgraded facilities unlike United. It's announced now that the club management has taken that criticism into account and are now upgrading Carrington which is their training ground with around £50 million. That's a whole lot of money and once the upgrade is completed, the difference will surely be noticed.

Manchester United management has made some changes. But we do not see any improvement in them. Last season  this team was in 15th place in the points table.

I would say that ten Hag has ruin the team. First of all  selling an experienced player like Ronaldo was his first incorrect decision. Even after that, Manchester United management spent a lot of money to buy players like Hojlund and Antony. This was Ten Hag's second wrong decision. Despite getting a lot of funds, Ten Hag could not improve Manchester United's performance. The team's performance has deteriorated day by day. It will be very difficult for Amorim to stabilize this team.
