How often while watching a football game have you thought to yourself that a particular club and player are a perfect match? Many times, right? But have you ever wondered what makes them so ideal for each other?Usually, apart from the relationship with the fans, it’s about the results – individual regarding a player and team regarding a club. When a player makes fantastic achievements and wins numerous trophies with one side, they must be – or at least seem – meant for each other.Sinking giant – crew points finger at commanderNevertheless, the lack of results can also bond the two parties and make them a “fitting pair.” In the case we’re going to talk about below – a pair of losers.Andre Onana and Manchester United.The story of the two has been told so many times. On one side, the struggling giant and on the other, the talented custodian, who obviously cannot handle the pressure he regularly faces. Still, the tale of Onana and United has got a new chapter.André Onana has lost all the European finals he’s played in🙂 pic.twitter.com/bbrEJXgm7H— SimplyUtd (@SimplyUtd) May 14, 2025 The Cameroonian has lost each of his three European finals – UEL with Ajax and United, and UCL with Inter Milan – which ranks him pretty high on the list of the ill-fortuned players, right behind Patrice Evra, who lost four, and alongside Gianluigi Buffon and Paolo Montero, who also lost three apiece.Since 2009, Man United have lost four out of five European finals they played. The only one they won? The 2017 UEFA Europa League final against Ajax, whose goalkeeper then was – you’ll never guess – Andre Onana!Manchester United has played 5 UEFA finals since 2009. They only won one in 2017 when they were facing a team that had Onana in the goal 😆😆😆 pic.twitter.com/BXJvUYxUkm— Nasa Tushabe (@Nasatushabe) May 22, 2025 In the remaining four – the UCL against Barcelona in 2009 and 2011, and the UEL against Villarreal in 2021 and Tottenham 2025 – the Red Devils fell short.Is it up to the 29-year-old shot-stopper, who’s on a dreadful run, or the club which even Casemiro – who was 7/7 in European finals until two days ago – couldn’t “fix”? It’s really hard to tell.Yet, no matter how negative their “relationship” may be, Onana and United indeed are a perfect match.##NAJAVA_MECA_8944889##
