Andre Onana’s last game for Internazionale was a Champions League final. What may forever prove his last match for Manchester United was a Carabao Cup defeat to Grimsby, where he was horribly to blame for one goal, scored a penalty and saved another but, with strangely weak wrists, contrived to get his hands to several others without keeping them out.
By themselves, those two appearances can indicate an ignominious fall from grace. The intervening two years were pockmarked by pratfalls. Onana joined United as the third most expensive goalkeeper ever. He has left on loan, with three years remaining on his contract at Old Trafford but with the suspicion that, like Antony or Jadon Sancho, it is in effect an end, a question merely of how many times he is exiled temporarily before United can offload him permanently.
