Man Utd fans rage at club over fresh De Gea news after Onana's calamity show

Manchester United fans are tearing their hair out as David de Gea continues to dazzle for Fiorentina while Andre Onana’s horror show in goal threatens to derail Ruben Amorim’s reign.

The Spaniard, let go by United in 2023 after 12 years, has left Old Trafford bosses red-faced with a string of heroics in Italy—while Onana’s latest clangers in Thursday’s 2-2 Europa League draw with Lyon have sparked calls for a sensational De Gea return.

And now Fiorentina are set to trigger an extra year in David de Gea's contract. De Gea, 34, was let go by Erik ten Hag to make way for Onana’s £47million arrival from Inter Milan, a move meant to usher in a new era of ball-playing brilliance.

Instead, United—now languishing in 12th after a gritty 2-1 win over Newcastle yesterday—are grappling with Onana’s meltdown.

Against Lyon, the Cameroon star gifted Thiago Almada’s free-kick for the opener and flapped at Corentin Tolisso’s shot, letting Rayan Cherki equalise in the 95th minute. That’s ten errors leading to goals since last season, per Opta—more than any Premier League keeper.

Meanwhile, De Gea’s living it up in Serie A. Fiorentina, pushing for a Champions League spot, owe much to their No. 1, who’s kept 11 clean sheets in 33 games this term, including a jaw-dropping triple save against Como in November.

His save percentage (72.5%) trounces Onana’s 63.7%, and he’s conceded 12 fewer goals despite playing ten fewer matches, per GiveMeSport. On Thursday, while Onana floundered, De Gea was named man of the match in Fiorentina’s 2-1 Conference League win over Celje, earning “stratospheric” praise from GOAL.

United fans on X are losing it. One posted: “De Gea’s a wall at Fiorentina—Onana’s a sieve. Biggest mistake letting him go.”

Another fumed: “£47m for this? Bring Dave back!” Even Nemanja Matic, now at Lyon, stuck the boot in before the draw, calling Onana “one of United’s worst-ever keepers”—a dig Schmeichel echoed on talkSPORT, saying fans “never feel safe” with him.

Amorim’s stood by his man, insisting post-Newcastle: “Andre’s made big saves this season—I’ve made worse calls.”

But whispers of a goalkeeper hunt are growing louder. United have asked about Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen (£40m, per Gazzetta), and AC Milan fancy Onana as a summer target (Football365).

De Gea’s contract, set for a one-year extension at Fiorentina, per club president Rocco Commisso, makes a return tricky—but Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who bankrolled Onana, might be rethinking that 2023 snub.

De Gea’s not just outperforming Onana—he’s rewriting his legacy. At United, he won the 2013 Premier League, two League Cups, an FA Cup, and the Europa League, with 545 appearances and a club-record 190 clean sheets.

Onana’s two trophies (2023 League Cup, 2024 FA Cup) pale in comparison, and his passing edge—72.9% completion vs. De Gea’s 70.9%—hasn’t justified the hype, per Daily Mail. With United facing Lyon’s return leg next, Onana’s on thin ice—and De Gea’s revival is the twist nobody saw coming.
