‘Man United to bring David de Gea back’ – Fans reaction as news ‘gone viral’
Man United fans were left frustrated with Andre Onana after he was involved in another mistake leading to a goal in the win over Ipswich.
Man United had to come from behind to secure a thrilling 3-2 victory at Old Trafford, with Harry Maguire scoring the decisive goal.
Onana and Patrick Dorgu were heavily criticised after a mix-up at the back gifted Jaden Philogene a simple tap-in to put Ipswich ahead. United responded with two quick goals, but Dorgu’s night took a turn for the worse as he was sent off.
Ipswich still managed to equalise, and once again, Onana found himself at the centre of the blame. Philogene’s cross-turned-shot caught him off guard, nestling into the bottom corner as the Cameroonian failed to react in time.
Despite taking all three points, United fans were left unimpressed with their goalkeeper’s performance, as questions continue to mount over his reliability at the back.
Man United concerned with Andre Onana amid poor season
Mick Brown, former chief scout at Old Trafford, exclusively told Football Insider that Man United are growing increasingly concerned about Onana following his repeated mistakes this season.
Signed for £47.2 million in 2023 as David de Gea’s replacement, Onana arrived with high expectations, but his time at United has been far from smooth. His inconsistency has put him under intense scrutiny, and patience is wearing thin.
Some Man United fans have even called for Onana to be dropped in favour of back-up keeper Altay Bayindir, questioning whether he should remain the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.

Andre Onana loses faith with Man United fans who want David de Gea return
De Gea’s departure from United surprised many, and since joining Fiorentina, he has rediscovered form in Serie A. His performances in Italy have only added to the frustration of United fans, who have watched Onana struggle with costly errors throughout the season.
Man United supporters were critical of Onana earlier in the campaign, and it appears his form has yet to improve. Some have even called for De Gea to return, believing the club made a mistake in letting him go.
One fan described Onana as a “disaster of a keeper” and urged the club to “bring back De Gea.” Another pointed out that the 34-year-old will be available on a free transfer this summer, saying: “Bring back De Gea on a free.”
