United is having a loud and crazy week on the Mersey, the Bosporus, and the Tyne.

Even though the 3-0 score was kind, they came out on top at Goodison Park, which was filled with anger over Everton’s 10-point punishment last Sunday.

Their trip to “Hell” during the middle of the week was less successful because Andre Onana made terrible mistakes against Galatasaray, which ended their dreams of making the Champions League.

Today, Erik ten Hag’s team has another tough game against Newcastle late Saturday night.

There is a good chance that the 50,000 Geordies inside St. James’ Park will not feel sorry for them. Under the lights, it will be a typically loud event.

Eddie Howe’s thin but always-tense team won’t care much about Man United’s problems either.

They will be motivated by the unfairness of the handball penalty given to Tino Livramento, which kept them from beating Paris Saint-Germain in a famous game last week.

Newcastle is known for being fierce; they don’t let their opponents have a moment of peace by pushing and putting pressure on them, which always gets the crowd excited.

Man United has been known to fear and give up in these kinds of storms. The biggest problem for Ten Hag is still managing the game, even when they get an early lead.

In a Champions League group that seems set to fail, they have lost two leads against Galatasaray and one away to Copenhagen.

“Our team is giving up too many goals, which is not necessary.” Ten Hag said after the latest defeat in Istanbul, “I am sure our team is smart and experienced enough to handle things better.”

The main reason why we lost 2-0 and 3-1 leads against Galatasaray was Andre Onana. Ten Hag will have to make the biggest decision of his career before Saturday night.

It might be time to take Onana out of the game, if only for one. From the very first touch, the crowd at St. James’ Park will be on his case, and Newcastle’s high pressers will bother him.

Things really don’t look good for Ten Hag. If Onana is played, bad things could happen again, which would hurt his trust even more and make things worse between the keeper and the rest of the team.

Dropping Onana could hurt his confidence in a number of ways, and it will also bring more attention to the boss, who worked hard to get the £47 million transfer in the summer.

Altay Bayindir, who is a good goalie on his own, has been waiting since he arrived from Fenerbahce on the last day of the transfer window.

Any boss should want his goalkeepers to compete with each other, and Bayindir will probably be wondering how many chances Onana will get before he gets his chance.

If you want to beat Newcastle’s press and break the lines with targeted medium-range passes into middle, sticking with Onana might be the best choice.
