Bayern 4-2 Man U, approaching full time. Just at 91’ it was 3-2 and United was pushing. A horrible horrible pass and Bayern has the ball, scores.
United gave away a cheap one early but that back four and midfield cannot hold up against top sides. They just look so tired after the early effort which was great, but the cheap goal Onana let in cannot happen against any top side on the road.
Onana yet again gives away the ball, cost Casemiro a red, and took away a bright light as Hojlund was so good tonight. This team missing a CB, 3 LB's, and Bissaka is atrocious right now. The CDM they signed in Amrabat playing left back is a failure....but no Shaw, Malacia, or even Regulon doesn't seem like there is a fix soon. I'm not sure they have a fix unless they move Lindelof outside and keep Dalot on the other side. Even Saha owned Dalot on their first goal....just atrocious without Martinez and the others.
Onana was brought in so United could play out of the back as DeGea simply could not. The problem is Onana is making the average saves, nothing spectacular, and is giving the ball away so carelessly is really costing this team. Maybe again this week he can talk about how he cost his team points and make the same mistakes again next week.
