It’s no secret that David De Gea’s departure from Manchester United has sparked debate among football fans. When comparing the early-season statistics of De Gea and André Onana, who has taken over as Manchester United’s custodian, an interesting finding emerges. In terms of statistics, Onana’s performance in the first four games of the season did not necessarily outperform De Gea’s.

De Gea, a long-time club figure, was certainly shown the departure door, raising questions among fans and pundits. However, evidence from Onana’s first matches shows that he suffered identical performance metrics difficulties as De Gea.

This raises doubts regarding the reasoning for the custodian transfer and whether Onana can eventually offer the long-term gains that Manchester United needs. It will be interesting to see how Onana’s stint as the club’s custodian evolves this season, and whether he can live up to the expectations created by the loss of a seasoned custodian like De Gea. The statistics may change over time, offering a more complete view of Onana’s contribution to the squad.
