18.5 million was spent in vain? Manchester United goalkeeper was mocked by the outside world: Onana in the sequel, isn t Martin good?

The Premier League transfer window has just ended, and the young coach Amulin's signing and cleaning work is still quite smooth, but there is a deal about the new goalkeeper Mone Lamons who spent 18.5 million pounds and 3.5 million floating signing, which has put Old Trafford in a public opinion storm, and was even more ridiculed by the outside world: Are you signing a sequel to Onana 2.0? Isn't Martin so good? All this was caused by a misstep video of Senne Lamens’ “Disaster Highlights” on the Internet. It’s really boastful that Old Trafford was hit so before he established his image.

The joining of Ramens, who just turned 23, happened at the last moment of the transfer window. Manchester United officially announced that he will transfer to the "Red Devils" from Belgian giants Royal Antwerp, and the two sides signed a five-year contract. At that time, the outside world generally believed that this was Manchester United's "strategic signing" in strengthening the goalkeeper position. After all, Manchester United goalkeeper's position has been in frequent trouble in the past two seasons. After De Gea left, Onana's performance was questioned, and from save ability to pass mistakes, it became a point of complaint for fans. The management obviously did not want to repeat the same mistake, so it spent £18.5 million to introduce Lamons, hoping that he could become a long-term plan.

However, just a few days later, a video completely ignited the concerns of Red Devils fans. "Disaster Highlights" went viral, and Ramens was laughed at as "Onana 2.0". In the video, Lamens' performance can be regarded as the goalkeeper's "reverse textbook". After a strike, he made a mistake in his judgment and watched the ball fly over his head and give his opponent a big gift. In another scene, he faced a low shot that was not tricky, but he responded slowly, and his save movement was half a beat slow, which made people question his basic skills.

Under the editing and dissemination of social media, these images are infinitely magnified. The fans were furious: "Upgraded version of Onana, professionally strengthened!", "Manchester United gave up a World Cup champion goalkeeper (Emigliano Martinez), and it was ridiculous to get such a level.", "It's over, I'm really going to be relegated now."

Interestingly, his agent looks like Tenghach, and the fans have even more ominous associations. What is even more ridiculous is that Lamens's agent also unexpectedly became the "protagonist of public opinion".

fans immediately recalled a major controversy during Tenghach's tenure: letting De Gea out of contract and forcibly introducing Onana. That operation is still a pain point in Manchester United fans' hearts. Now, an agent who looks like Tenghager sends a "potential goalkeeper" to Manchester United, and the plot seems to be repeating itself. This strange coincidence directly amplified the fans' uneasiness.

Lamons is not completely unknown. He comes from Antwerp youth training and is one of the most recognized potential goalkeepers in the League One. But the cruel data made his situation worse: so far this season, he has started four games in the A-League game, but has not completed a clean sheet. Against the backdrop of Manchester United's criticism on the defense, the goalkeeper position needs a "stable" person, rather than a "trial and error-based" new player. Fans are worried that Lamens failed to support the goal line in the AFC and is now in the more intense Premier League, which is likely to repeat Onana's mistakes.

Amid criticism, the most popular alternative is Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. The World Cup champion goalkeeper has already proved himself in the Premier League, and his stability and big heart are in line with Manchester United's needs. When will the door of Old Trafford be truly closed?
