It's okay to hit the worst goalkeeper ever. But the alternative is, of course, 'Expert'?
Manchester United had some of the best goalkeepers in the past. From the mid-2000 s to the early 2010 s, he had Edvin van der Sar (55). From 2011 to 2023, when van der Sar left, it was the era of David de Gea (35). At least I didn't worry about the goal during this period.
However, since De Gea left the team due to a dispute over his contract with the club, the Manchester United goalkeeper has turned into one of his biggest weaknesses. The nightmare began when former coach Erik ten Haach, who took the lead in De Gea's exit, brought Andre Onana (29), who was with Ajax in the summer 2023 transfer market.
Onana, who said animal reflexes were an advantage, quickly became a headache for Manchester United with her judgment at the level of animals. The title of 'Manchester United's worst goalkeeper ever' was quickly given to Onana. It's been almost two years since I joined Manchester United and there's no sign of improvement. On the contrary, fatal mistakes have increased.
In the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals against Lyon on the 11th (Korea time), he made a serious mistake and dedicated two goals. This resulted in Manchester United's winnable 2–2 draw. Not only did the fans complain that they could not tolerate it anymore, but head coach Hu Beng Amorim also decided to 'Oanna Exit'. It should have been decided long ago.
However, the goalkeeper candidate, who has been targeted for recruitment since Manchester United kicked Onana out, is another problem. Because it is the famous 'advanced evangelist'. It is Aaron Ramsdale (27), Southampton's main goalkeeper.
British media The Sun reported on the 15th that Manchester United are observing Ramsdale for a shocking recruitment after deciding to release Onana Keeper due to a series of errors. The media reported that "'Manchester United is watching Ramsdale to overcome the goalkeeper crisis' and that coach Amorim excluded Onana from the match against Newcastle United on the 14th. Altai Baiendr was replaced by goalkeeper Altai Baiendr, but he lost the match 1-4.
In the end, Manchester United has no choice but to make recruiting goalkeepers an urgent task in the summer transfer market. The person Manchester United is aiming for is Ramsdale.
British media outlet Mirror says Manchester United are considering signing Ramsdale after Onana's grave mistake. Looking to bring Ramsdale in after Southampton's relegation. The West Ham club also want Ramsdale.
Manchester United manager Amorim has not decided who to use in the second leg of the remaining Europa League quarterfinals. Onana's form is so bad, but you can't even use Baidr. In the end, we are deeply aware that new alternatives are needed. Ramsdale is an attractive card for manager Amorim and Manchester United.
The Sun said Ramsdale, who played for England, Arsenal and Sheffield United, will leave Southampton after this season, where relegation has been decided. Ramsdale, who has a lot of experience in EPL, is certainly a person who can fill Manchester United's goalkeeper's hole.
However, Ramsdale's recruitment is not expected to be smooth for two reasons. One is the rivalry with West Ham United. West Ham coach Graham Potter has made Ramsdale a key target for the team's rebuilding this summer. An unconventional proposal is expected. We have to win this first.
The other is because of the terrible 'escent jinx'. Ramsdale have been through a number of teams, having experienced relegation several times. He witnessed relegation at Bournemouth in the 2019-2020 season and was the starting goalkeeper for Sheffield United in the 2020-2021 season, but failed to prevent relegation. It has suffered three relegations in the last five years.
Therefore, Manchester United fans are concerned that Ramsdale might bring 'demonstrating evil spirits'. It is a problem that cannot be dismissed as an unnecessary worry because of the accumulated experience. I wonder what choice director Amorim will make.
