The game against Lyon was a fatal blow. Onana started in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals against Lyon in 2024-2025 on the 11th, but she lost her team's chance to win by dedicating two goals along with two mistakes that led to a goal in the game. There were also two good saves in the box, but it was not enough to be considered an active performance. Before the game "One of the worst goalkeepers in Manchester United's history, be careful when he tries to speakMatic's advice, which he pointed out, became a reality for Onana.
After the match against Lyon, there were many predictions that Manchester United would find Onana's replacement. Several alternative candidates have been named, including Suzuki Zaion, Mike Menyang and David De Gea. In addition to the other candidates, Manchester United also reached out to Garcia, a promising player who is drawing attention on the Spanish stage.

Garcia, a promising goalkeeper born in 2001, was a former Espanyol youth team and made his first team debut in 2021. Having played for Espanyol since his debut, he has been a regular goalkeeper since the 2023-2024 season and is one of the main players in Espanyol's promotion to La Liga.
He was already receiving attention from various clubs because he was a player with excellent defense skills and good feet. Arsenal, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Barcelona are reportedly considering recruiting Garcia.
Manchester United also had no intention of missing Garcia. Since Onana has raised the possibility of a transfer to Saudi Arabia in the upcoming summer transfer market, it is essential to recruit a substitute if the transfer is completed. If Garcia joins, Manchester United will once again assume the position of the main goalkeeper, who was active on the Spanish stage after De Gea.
Onana's position is shaking, and Manchester United's worries about the goalkeeper for the next season are growing. Attention is also focusing on whether Garcia can solve the problem.
