Rio Ferdinand and Robbie Savage have chosen Andre Onana for his 'non-existent' communication with Patrick Dorgu in the run-up to the opening goal of Jaden Philogene for Ipswich on Old Trafford on Wednesday evening.
Man United hit the 3-2 winners on Home Turf, but their three points were not won without a fight, with the players of Ruben Amorim at the back of the first five minutes thanks to the Philogene strike.
Sam Morsy's own goal helped the teams return to the level of foot before Matthijs de Ligt could help the hosts in the lead, but United was impeded by a risky challenge of January Recrit Patrick Dorgu who saw the defender a straight red card.
With the home team in disorder, Ipswich jumped in extra time for the break, with a winner of Harry Maguire needed in the second half to give United their slender lead.
But before Dorgu received his marching orders, Savage and Ferdinand held him responsible for the early slip of Man United – in addition to another teammates, goalkeeper Andre Onana.
“Wow,” Savage wondered aloud on comment for TNT sports. 'Dorgu has followed the run and the communication between Onana and Dorgu should not exist.
'Credit to Jaden Philogene, the wish … He is on the side. But I have no idea why Onana gets to that position. Dorgu has it under control, no problem at all. He shouldn't get there, Onana!
“I may be completely wrong, but stay. The defender has it under control, so stay in your six-year box. Credit to Philogene. What a start of Ipswich.
“The defender is in control. I don't think there is a reason why Onana comes out, “Savage continued.
'You should talk, put it back on his right foot and then he can delete it. I don't know why he came. The defender has control … Onana, stay in your goal. '
Ferdinand criticized the decision -making of the man United 'keeper in the same way, and added that Onana did not need' needed 'to come in and disturb Dorgu.
“A terrible start. I don't think Dorgu looks up at any time to see where Onana is, “added Ferdinand.
'Onana does not have to come in. The full-back is completely under control and he can just hold his ground and let him play towards him.
“But Dorgu doesn't look, the consciousness is not there and it is pierced. Ipswich took a deserved lead for connecting that lack of communication. '
Onana has passed a difficult campaign for the Red Devils, in which former United goalkeeper Massimo Taibi suggests in December that the former Ajax star was not cut for the English game.
'I would be on the point immediately and tell him:' Andre, you are one of the best keepers in Europe, but in the Premier League you are underperforming. Block criticism, do some soul search, press the reset and go again. And if things do not change in June, you will continue, go on ', you will continue, “you continue,” you continue, “Taibi said.
'I think the United Environment is unknowingly not ideal for him and when a marriage shows cracks, it is useless to continue. Sometimes things do not work with a team and it is best to go separate ways, which would not be a failure.
'For me he is a strong keeper who is in a situation in which he cannot show his skills because he was not cut for the English game. It is only suitable for the premium when it comes to his ball game and structure. '
