Onana has not worked out. We need a new keeper.

5th highest actually, Alisson, Pope, Kelleher, Areola then Onana/Pickford. Still well up there and not too much difference at the top. Interesting to see Kelleher there, wonder how he feels about being only a back-up. Only played 10 league matches so his stats might be a bit inflated, or not, but he does look good.

Ah my bad, he’s top for most saves made, although hardly unexpected as he faces so many shots per game.

I'm not sure where the most reliable stats are found. But, in the site I found,

Allisson 73.4%
Pope 72.4% (though only played 15 games)
Kellehere 71.1% (played 10 games)
Areola 74.5%
Pickford 73.9%
Onana 74.9%

Agree with Kellehere, he does look a good goalkeeper. What really surprised me is that he is already 25 years old, and only made 15 league starts for Liverpool (and has been at Liverpool his entire career). Unless he is virtually guaranteed to take over Allison soon, surely he has got to look for a move to another PL club. Even on loan (I'm also surprised that he hasn't even been loaned out before)

I know what you mean about stats, I used OPTA stats obtained from membership of a fantasy football site, I'm reluctant copy and paste out of respect for the site.

If you consider some of our top keepers in the past (Schmeichel & VDS), they were first "reliable" as a goalkeeper without multiple brain fart moments and then had other attributes that contributed to team's game play. You could argue the same about Ederson at City or Alisson at Liverpool who are two top goalkeepers of the previous decade. If Onana was a striker, no one would care. At GK (or defence), reliability is critical. Can Onana become more reliable?

Have you watched Schmeichel's last season? He made more errors than Onana.
 
How good is Lunin? Apparently he is unhappy at Real. Was looking at his stats on fbref and they are decidedly better than Onana but I dont watch La Liga so I dont really know how good he really is.
Maybe some of our Madrid fans can comment.
 
I'll give him one more season under a manager who is not ETH before discarding him. Im sure there is a GK there somewhere, even as a backup.
 
We don’t need to replace Onana, he’s had a decent season. We have other positions that we need to prioritise

Yeh, but he was also suffering a crisis in confidence and felt he wasn't able to be the keeper a world class United needed. So it's not a great argument to use....being better than someone who had started to question their ability and decided they weren't good enough.
