I think this is a good call, the lad seems like a confidence player and he had absolutely none last year, no preseason on a high profile game a mistake could ruin his season.

Now this is no mentality for a top goalkeeper mind they should be able to bounce back in game but the right call

No matter how the game turns out, if today is the day Onana is pushed out its a great day.

TBF he's probably more likely to be weakly palmed out to a dangerous area than pushed out 😉

Fantastic post

Just seen a United fan getting a selfie with Avram Glazer. Whatever you’re into I guess…

Must be in the minority here thinking that theres far worse areas to be fixing than the keeper position. Anyone who's celebrating Bayinder between the posts must have a very short memory. An odd pen save doesn't make him better than Onana

FourFourRED · 17-08-2025 02:16PM

Sesko on the bench. Mount starts.

DrPhilG · 17-08-2025 02:17PM

Oh God...

DrPhilG · 17-08-2025 02:17PM

Cas & Fernandes in the middle. Dalot RWB. No Sesko or Amad.

Gave me hope for 15 minutes until the team sheet came out.

Going for nil-nil.

All_in_Flynn · 17-08-2025 02:19PM

Surprised at a couple of the selections.

Maguire is better at the role that's being asked of than De Ligt.

I probably thought he'd go with Dalot but I'd have preferred Amad.

Bench looks considerably stronger than it did than last season.

Whatsisname · 17-08-2025 02:22PM

I do not like that lineup.

bucketybuck · 17-08-2025 02:22PM

I don't understand the Onana thing at all.

If you think he is too big a liability and needs replaced, then you replace him in the summer. Even if just a stopgap, you get a player in to do a job.

What you don't do is wait all summer, then on the first game of the season announce him fit and then pointedly don't play him. That doesn't make any rational sense at all.

I'll assume he just isn't ready to play, but will still be the number one this season.

NITRO95 · 17-08-2025 02:22PM

I thought Sesko would start but other than that Im not stunned by the team selection.

JRant · 17-08-2025 02:22PM

That's a back 5, park the bus team if ever I seen one. Disappointing team selections, especially after getting it so wrong for the last 8/9 games of last season.

mobydopy · 17-08-2025 02:23PM

Shocked at that lineup. Just seen Arsenal's team… it's going to be a long afternoon

Mantis Toboggan · 17-08-2025 02:25PM

Casemiro and Bruno in the middle...wow, brave call from Amorim

pjohnson · 17-08-2025 02:26PM

Sesko straight in would be a big ask for him. We've banished our other striker so I'm happy we haven't thrown Sesko to the wolves like we did his predecessor.

Unearthly · 17-08-2025 02:30PM

Very notable deficiencies in the lineup with centre midfield, Right wingback, using a false 9 and keeper but for now I still have the new season buzz

DataDude · 17-08-2025 02:31PM

At least we have confirmation (if UEL final wasn’t enough) that Amorims wants nothing to do with Ugarte. He is ruthlessly getting rid of our worst players to be fair to him.

Can’t leave him with Casemiro & Bruno as his midfield options all year though. He won’t make Christmas I fear if he is.

Was shocked to see Keith Andrews get the job. Not a good start for him.

Oh it being the daily mail United were likely added to the list to generate clicks. Plus isn't Keegan a bit of a spoofer?

He's not getting taking Yoro's spot at RCB and if money is being splashed on a CB should be looking at a LCB or even a left footer that can play CCB. So long term you'd have the new left footer and Yoro as your CB partnership if the club ever reverts back to a four.
