Ruben Amorim insists he will not say anything to Andre Onana despite his two blunders in Manchester United’s Europa League draw with Lyon.
Onana was culpable for Thiago Almada’s direct free kick and Rayan Cherki’s 95th-minute equaliser four days after he billed United as “way better” than Lyon.
Former United midfielder Nemanja Matic, who was an unused substitute for Lyon, suggested Onana was “statistically one of the worst goalkeepers” in United’s history on Wednesday. Onana hit back by deriding Matic’s five trophyless years at United in a social media post.
Amorim must decide whether to retain Onana for the Premier League visit to Newcastle United on Sunday before the return leg with Lyon on Thursday. Onana has committed more errors leading to goals in all competitions than any other Premier League ‘keeper since the start of last season.
“It can happen,” Amorim said of Onana’s mistakes. “If you play football, you play a lot of games, you can make mistakes. If you look at the season, I make more mistakes than them during these last games and these last months. The other thing is we have one more game to change everything and that should be our focus.
