His poor performance saw Man United get their asses handed to them in a UCL Group Stage match against Galatasaray. Here\u2019s all his awe plus UCL Group Stage Matchday 2 results for the games played thus far. Let\u2019s, however, first get in tune with Rihanna\u2019s \u2018What\u2019s My Name\u2019 featuring Drake.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-embed-card\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/U0CGsw6h60k?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0\" frameborder=\"0\" loading=\"lazy\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowautoplay=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"728\" height=\"409\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<p><!--members-only--><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"terrible-onana-helps-man-united-get-their-behinds-handed-to-them-by-galatasaray\">Terrible Onana Helps Man United Get Their Behinds Handed to Them by Galatasaray<\/h2>\n<p>As if in a case of \u2018good goalkeeper gone bad\u2019 (thanks Riri ;), Man United\u2019s recent signing Andre Onana made important mistakes that denied United a win against Galatasaray. As if he\u2019d just lost his senses, Onana pulled the plug on actually doing his job, allowing Galatasaray to pull off what was a stunning comeback. To make matters even worse, all this was unfolding in a home UCL match at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Side Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Old Trafford is actually old, not only in age but also in feel. Old Trafford was officially opened on February 19th, 1910, and is a whopping 113 years old. What gets to me, however, is that despite the legacy, the stadium is continually feeling old in the sense that it lacks modern facilities for a world-class club that deserves the very best when it comes to facilities. Yes, as a Man Utd fan, I am biased but I think the boys deserve a LOT BETTER. My take is to have Old Trafford demolished and rebuilt afresh. Whether it would retain the name then is a matter for the club\u2019s management to deal with. What do you think?<\/p>\n<div class=\"kg-card kg-button-card kg-align-center\"><a href=\"#ghost-comments-root\" class=\"kg-btn kg-btn-accent\">Leave a comment<\/a><\/div>\n<hr>\n<p>Onana did what was, sorry to say, stupid by passing the ball to Galatasaray\u2019s Dries Mertens in the 75th minute, prompting a reaction from Casemiro that saw him get red carded and Galatasaray awarded a penalty. Mauro Icardi didn\u2019t convert the penalty, however, but came back to strike later and take the lead away from United.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"hojlund-denied-moment-of-glory-after-scoring-a-brace\">Hojlund Denied Moment of Glory After Scoring a Brace<\/h3>\n<p>Perhaps the most hurt by Onana\u2019s antics, Rasmus Hojlund had opened the scoring for United in the 17th minute, denied a second goal due to offside, but then came on to score his second in the 67th minute. By then, Onana had already been scored one, by United\u2019s old boy Wilfried Zaha who now plays for Galatasaray after his contract with Crystal Palace elapsed. Zaha went in and put in a fantastic dribble-in goal in the 23rd minute.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/maniainc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2f32e31094-e95a-472e-ab91-e9d0cacd75cf_2560x1708-jpeg-1.jpg\" class=\"kg-image\" alt=\"Hojlund celebrating\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maniainc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2f32e31094-e95a-472e-ab91-e9d0cacd75cf_2560x1708-jpeg-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/maniainc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2f32e31094-e95a-472e-ab91-e9d0cacd75cf_2560x1708-jpeg-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/maniainc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2f32e31094-e95a-472e-ab91-e9d0cacd75cf_2560x1708-jpeg-1.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/maniainc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2f32e31094-e95a-472e-ab91-e9d0cacd75cf_2560x1708-jpeg-1.jpg 2400w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 720px) 720px\" title=\"| Mania Africa | maniainc.com\"><figcaption><span style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Rasmus Hojlund played really well, scoring a brace that could have easily been a hat trick were it not for an offside.

Then Onana passed the ball to Mertens while aiming for Casemiro, leading to Casemiro giving away a penalty and getting a red card. His reaction to Mertens getting the ball beckons to a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DirtyFootbaIIer\/status\/1708920494962114968?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">similar takedown by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer<\/a> back when he was a United player.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<hr>\n<p>The red means that Casemiro will miss Man Utd\u2019s must-win game against Copenhagen. Icardi missed the penalty but then came on to make it 3-2 in favor of Galatasaray in the 81st minute. Icardi, who now has 11 goals in 11 games in all competitions, continued his fantastic performance and remains the top scorer in the Turkish league.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/maniainc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2fd8757512-3300-4a32-8306-74a73b3e3d0a_960x540-jpeg-1.jpg\" class=\"kg-image\" alt=\"Icardi celebrating\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maniainc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2fd8757512-3300-4a32-8306-74a73b3e3d0a_960x540-jpeg-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/maniainc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2fd8757512-3300-4a32-8306-74a73b3e3d0a_960x540-jpeg-1.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 720px) 720px\" title=\"| Mania Africa | maniainc.com\"><figcaption><span style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Icardi took advantage of Sofyan Amrabat&#8217;s failure to cross the ball effectively, landing it to a header that was passed to Icardi who went in to make things right after first missing a penalty.

Whyy?<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the apparent misgivings, Erik ten Hag went on to show his support for Onana saying:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI will encourage Onana, I will back him \u2014 I will support him\u201d. \u201cHe\u2019s great goalkeeper.

No. Onana may not play well anytime soon and United, who now have zero points after two games in the Champions League group stage, may as well be kicked off the league if they do not win their next game against Copenhagen. Erik ten Hag needs to snap out of it and do what he was brought on to do: lead. The consequence of Onana\u2019s poor performance, I think, is that he should be benched for a while and challenged to train more.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"kg-card kg-button-card kg-align-center\"><a href=\"#\/portal\/signup\" class=\"kg-btn kg-btn-accent\">Subscribe<\/a><\/div>\n<hr>\n<h2 id=\"champions-league-group-stage-matchday-2-results-thus-far\">Champions League Group Stage Matchday 2 Results Thus Far<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"arsenal-beaten-by-lens-as-real-madrid-beat-napoli\">Arsenal Beaten by Lens as Real Madrid beat Napoli<\/h3>\n<p>Arsenal got handed their behinds on a plate, as Lens beat them 2-1.
