De Gea 2.0: Man Utd already let an “underrated” Onana upgrade leave for £0

“Manchester United’s Costly Oversight: How They Let a Superior ‘De Gea 2.0’ Walk Away for Free”

Manchester United may have unknowingly allowed a true gem to slip through their fingers without spending a penny. While the football world debates the performance of André Onana, an exceptional and often overlooked goalkeeper—one who could have been an even greater upgrade—was already in their ranks. However, instead of securing his talents, the club let him leave on a free transfer. This decision now raises serious questions: Did United make a massive miscalculation in their pursuit of a shot-stopping revolution?

As fans and pundits analyze the strengths and weaknesses of Onana’s tenure, it becomes increasingly clear that United might have already possessed a more refined version of the ‘De Gea 2.0’ they sought—only to release him without truly recognizing his potential. If hindsight is 20/20, then this could be one of the biggest goalkeeping blunders in recent memory.
