Replacing David De Gea, a 12-year goalkeeper, will be a challenge for United in the summer of 2023. Even though he has suffered numerous criticisms over the years at the Red Devils, when he leaves, there are still doubts about whether the arrival of a new recruit will make Manchester United's defence better
When the club locked in Inter's Champions League final goalkeeper Andre Onana for £47.2 million, many felt they had picked up a bargain and helped the team upgrade their defensive capabilities at a modest cost.
As an 'upgrade' for De Gea, Ten Hag and his side will aim to build a more solid defensive system that will help United achieve greater success in the Premier League and Europe. However, the reality is cruel, and every amazing defensive performance this season always seems to be accompanied by some "mistakes".
So far, Onana's poor form has been the story of Manchester United's entire season.
Onana's performance showed why Ten Hag was so ruthless in 'getting rid of' De Gea, a quick-footed goalkeeper is a necessity for all teams in the fierce competition of the Premier League, and De Gea's 33-year-old legs are indeed difficult to accomplish.
However, no one can ignore the *** brought by Onana is mainly the pressure and stimulation brought to the hearts of Red Devils fansAnd how many dull games have suddenly had an accident that woke Red Devils fans from the silence?
Onana has conceded 43 goals in 27 appearances for United this season, keeping just eight clean sheets. There is no doubt that De Gea should have left, but now Onana, many are beginning to express similar wishes.
With the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations set to take place in Ivory Coast in mid-January, Onana will take a break from the Red Devils in his current form to lead Cameroon to the national honours. Another forgotten international goalkeeper in the team is quietly waiting for his chance.
We will be talking about Altai Bayndir, the goalkeeper who signed from Fenerbahce in Turkey on the final day of this summer's transfer window. With the Africa Cup of Nations just around the corner, the month ahead of Onana should be Baindil's best chance to shine, with the Turkey international plenty of time to prove himself to the world.
If there are some good performances in the Turkish league, people are expecting Bayndir to make a stunning appearance in the Premier League. The 25-year-old doorkeeper does look a little different.
With eight caps for the Turkish national team and more than 100 appearances for Fenerbahçe, the 25-year-old has a wealth of experience. He has a steady ball on the ball, impressive physicality and a precise sense of position in the box, and is very adept at defusing the threat of shooting from close range.
Most prominently, however, is his ability to hold back opposing strikers aggressively when one-on-one.
Although he may not seem to be a pass-and-control goalkeeper, he is able to combine physical attributes with technical characteristics, all of which have to be reminiscent of the Red Devils' former world-class goalkeeper - Peter Schmeichel, the Danish goalkeeper joined Manchester United at the age of 28 and went on to become one of the best goalkeepers in the history of world football.
For Beindil, the crucial next step will be to see if he can show the characteristics he should be in the game and earn a place in the hearts of Ten Hag and the fans with his astonishing pace and saves.
Onana remains a regular in the starting line-up for now, but Ten Hag may be hesitant in February. Because Manchester United have conceded 27 goals while scoring only 22 goals in the league, such an attacking and defensive state, if they can't improve the forward line in a short period of time, then changing the defense may be a viable solution.
