Manchester United goalkeeper Onana's performance has long been criticized by fans. It turns out that he is still a "big black foot". According to statistics from local British media, including this season's Europa League, the 29-year-old Cameroonian goalkeeper lost three times in the club's European finals, and even the "European King" teammate Casemiro's championship life was "defeated".

Onana played for Ajax (Ajax), and he reached the 2017 Europa League final with the team, but still lost to Manchester United 0-2. Two years ago, he represented Inter Milan in the final of the Champions League, but lost 0-1 to Manchester City. The Cameroonian goalkeeper has no good luck after joining Manchester United. The loss to Tottenham 0-1 in the Europa League final was like winning the "runner-up curse".

It is worth mentioning that when Manchester United midfielder Casemiro played for Real Madrid, he won the championship and won the finals of the European Championship 7 times. This game was lost for Manchester United for the first time. Fans pointed out that Onana was too unlucky and Casemiro could not stand it. It is rumored that Manchester United is preparing to sell Onana this summer and will acquire Aston Villa goalkeeper Martinez if it succeeds to fill his position.
