Former England, Tottenham and Blackburn goalkeeper Paul Robinson on BBC Radio 5 Live
I think the situation has been coming. A lot of United fans have been frustrated with him and there is a time where you do need to take a goalkeeper out of the firing line, because the pressure does become too much.
When you’re in front of the opposition fans you’re reminded of your poor form every time you touch the ball and actually, sometimes, you do need a rest.
It’s good man-management, put your arm around him, say ‘look you’re still my number one goalkeeper but at the moment you’re not playing at the levels I want you at’.
The problem he’s got is if [Altay] Bayindir comes in and plays extremely well then it would be very difficult to leave him out on Thursday, because of how poor Onana’s been playing.
As an outfield player when things aren’t going right you can make up with hard work, running around the pitch, get involved and make tackles, and get yourself into a game, but the problem as a goalkeeper is you can’t go chasing the game.
If you do that then that’s when you’re going to make mistakes.
