After replacing Golden Gloves winner Dikia this season, Manchester United's goalkeeper Onana has had a worrying start to the season, not only suffering widespread skepticism from fans, but also from legendary goalkeeper Schmidt, who criticized him for not knowing how to make a save. Another well-known Premier League goalkeeper, Schwarzenegger, also joined in the bombardment of Onana, saying that his goalkeeping skills are "mediocre". Schwarzenegger pointed out that despite his ability to use his feet, Onana had spent most of his time controlling the tempo of the game and could control the ball with ease during his previous stints with top teams such as Ajax and Inter. However, the competitive environment in the Premier League is very different and if Onana is unable to utilize even his basic skills with his feet, his career at United could be in jeopardy.
As a veteran of nearly 20 years in the Premier League, Schwarzenegger has his own opinion on Onana's performance: "I've been watching Onana over the years, and although his performance at Inter Milan was noteworthy, I always had my doubts. Onana's footwork is quite good, but in the Ajax and Inter games he was more in control of the tempo of the game. In the Premier League, it's a very different story, and if he can't even use basic footwork, then what is he really good at? Frankly, I think he does have mediocre goalkeeping skills as a goalkeeper. If Tannhäuser wasn't the leader of Manchester United, he might not really have a leg to stand on."
