Manchester United’s humiliating 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Europa League final has plunged the club deeper into crisis—and fans have identified their main scapegoat: goalkeeper Andre Onana. The Cameroonian’s performance at the Aviva Stadium was abysmal, failing to make a single save and completing just 1 out of 10 long balls. His 61% pass accuracy and a dismal SofaScore rating of 6.3 only added fuel to the fire.
Supporters immediately took to social media to vent their fury, with many labeling Onana as the “worst signing” in recent club history. Comparisons to former stalwart David De Gea came thick and fast, with one fan posting, “We traded world-class saves for clown show performances. De Gea to Onana—this is the biggest downgrade in football history.” Another wrote, “Getting rid of De Gea was the worst decision we’ve made. We’ve been pretending for too long.”
This backlash isn’t just about one match—it’s the breaking point of a catastrophic season. United now face the unthinkable: finishing 16th in the Premier League and missing out on all European competitions next season. Manager Ruben Amorim’s tactical decisions also came under scrutiny, but it was Onana’s repeated errors throughout the campaign—culminating in this final disaster—that have left fans disillusioned.
The frustration reflects a deeper rot within the club. What was once a global powerhouse now teeters on the edge of irrelevance, and with fan trust shattered and results collapsing, Manchester United are staring at a full-blown reckoning. As one supporter grimly summed it up: “Onana is not the problem—he’s the symptom of a broken club.”
The pressure is now on Amorim and United’s board to salvage the summer, or risk watching the Red Devils descend further int
o chaos.
