Andre Onana's latest errors leave Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag with decision to make - Champions League hits and misses

Arsenal and Bukayo Saka shone in a 6-0 thrashing of Lens; a dubious penalty denies Newcastle after impressive performance in Paris; Jeremy Doku and Julian Alvarez underline their importance to Pep Guardiola; Celtic once again come up short in the Champions League

In an alternate universe Manchester United are heading into their final Champions League group game with qualification assured. That is a world in which Andre Onana is not their goalkeeper.

His mistakes — not for the first time in the competition — cost United victory against Galatasaray.

The blunder for Bayern Munich's opener and the stray pass at Old Trafford which led to Casemiro's sending off against Galatasaray could've been forgotten after he appeared to turn a corner.

But Onana's failure to deal with two straightforward free-kicks on Wednesday night ensure the spotlight is firmly back on him.

It's important to note his vital stoppage-time penalty save against FC Copenhagen and the quality he brings in possession for balance. It's not been all bad for Onana at Old Trafford, but his lack of reliability is adding a sense of uncertainty to an already fragile side.

It is clear that Onana is better than his performances are showing. You only need to look back to last season's Champions League run with Inter to see that. These mistakes do seem to be a running theme though.
