In English media is one of the predominant topics on Friday André Onana. The occasion are another mistake of the Manchester United goalkeeper, who brought the Red Devils in the Europa League game against Olympique Lyon (2-2) for a good starting position for the quarter-final secondary in Manchester. Statistically, the camera has acquired an unwanted top position in the Premier League comparison. Coach Rúben Amorim still protected the 29-year-old.
In eight games of the current and past season, Onana, Patzer contributed to the fact that United suffered goals in Lyon as on Thursday. The data service provider “Opta” counted this and found out: No other Premier League team was as susceptible to the record champion in the goalkeeper position as soon as the Liverpool. Several English media were not embarrassed to string masturbation of error games.
The list of games in which Onana missed decisively begins with FC Bayern. “I am responsible, we didn’t win because of my sake, and I have to learn from it,” the keeper stated after the 3: 4 against the Munich in the Champions League last season. A harmless end of Leroy Sané had slipped through him. This was followed in the premier class, a goat against Galatasaray (3: 3), in the league mistake against Sheffield United (4: 2), Nottingham Forest (2: 3), the Wolves (0: 2), Brighton (1: 3) and in the Europa League against Pilsen (2: 1) and now against Lyon.
Amorim strengthens Onana – mistakes after an absurd dispute with Matic
Regardless, Amorim emphasized that he had “great trust” in Onana. Against Lyon, Onana has to be awarded a decisive role in both counterfeest: a attempt by Thiago Almada, which was not planned as a direct free kick in the 25th minute, sailed largely undisturbed past onanas to 1-0. And in the last minute compensation of the French to 2-2, Onana could not secure a low shot and put the ball in front of the feet of the effortlessly dusting Rayan Cherki.
“This can happen to every player,” emphasized Amorim, who no longer wanted to address the matter and does not seem to want to keep the player too much with the mistakes. “At the moment I can’t say anything about what would help him. The most important thing is to continue normally. If it is ready, I will choose the best team.”
Onana’s mistake came in direct connection to an absurd dispute by the goalkeeper with Nemanja Matic (36), who once played at Man United and is now under contract with the last opponent in Lyon. The two did not meet in the field. Matetic did not get out on Thursday to warm up, but he had previously titled Onana as one of the worst goalkeepers United. Onana had previously highlighted United as much better than the OL team. “If Van der Sar, Schmeichel or de Gea had said that, okay … but Onana is one of the worst,” complained Matic after the keeper’s tuning, who also reacted to it. He did not want to be disrespectful to another club, he wrote on “X”, but also noted: “After all, I got trophies with the largest club in the world. Not everyone can say that.” Matetic had remained without a title in his United period. Onana won the FA-Cup with the Red Devils last year.
