Arsenal did not stay put and knocked on Manchester United's goal. However, goalkeeper Onana's good defense failed to score additional points. Arsenal's 1-0 victory ended the game.

Onana's performance on the day was remarkable. Arsenal allowed the first goal, but they later blocked all of Arsenal's attacks. When Arsenal pushed, Manchester United did not let go of the flow due to Onana's good defense. Onana defended Manchester United's goal firmly but failed to reverse the game as Manchester United's strikers failed to score.

According to soccer statistics outlet "Sofa Score," Onana recorded five saves, two saves inside the penalty box, 41 ball touches, 79 percent pass success rate (26 out of 33 attempts) and five long balls (12 attempts) while playing full-time. The rating was 7.6, the highest among Manchester United players.

Onana was wearing Manchester United's uniform ahead of this season. As he was a student of Erik ten Hag, he was the right goalkeeper for the football he wanted. Moreover, as a former Barcelona player, he had strength under his feet.

He had a good evaluation of Onana until the pre-season. As Onana was in the back, she felt a sense of stability and connected to her teammates leisurely despite pressure from the opponent team. Sometimes, she used to be the starting point for attacks with long kicks comparable to midfielders. However, as the season began, Onana's evaluation reversed. Onana was good underfoot, but her defense was a problem. She gave up a run as she failed to handle shots that could be blocked properly.

Recently, there was also a report that Manchester United was looking for a new goalkeeper. The candidate was Alex Remiro of Real Sociedad. Onana was the best player in the game, perhaps inspired by the news that Manchester United was looking for a goalkeeper.
