Guilty of two gross errors on the two goals conceded by Manchester United against OL in the quarter-final first leg of the Europa League (2-2), André Onana, visibly protected, was not retained by Ruben Amorim in the group for the match against Newcastle (kick-off this Sunday at 5.30 p.m.).
André Onana will not be present in order to keep the Manchester United cages, this late Sunday afternoon in St James’s Park this Sunday. Indeed, according to information from several English media including The Guardian, the Cameroonian international goalkeeper of the Red Devils was not selected in the group by his coach, wishing to give him rest and protect him after his match more than complicated against OL, Thursday in the quarter-round of the Europa League (2-2).
Onana should be summoned again on Thursday against OL
At the Groupama Stadium, Onana was guilty of two errors on the two goals conceded, first by poorly enjoying the trajectory of the Ballon on the free kick of Thiago Almada then by giving back the leather following the shot of Georges Mikautadze, which benefited Rayan Cherki, author of the goal of equalization in the 95th minute. “We are much better than them. We just have to go there and show who we are. If we go there with a winner’s mentality, being concentrated, that we remain compact and united by following the game plan, we will win the match, “had put forward the Red Devils porter before the meeting, taken from a fly by a Nemanja Matic who had considered him” statistically one of the worst guards of the modern history of Manchester “.
This sidelines should benefit from Altay Bayindir, who is expected to active in the Premier League in St James’ Park (he played two Europa League games, a FA Cup match and three League Cup games this season). However, still according to our colleagues from the Guardian, André Onana should be recalled for the quarter -final return of the Europa League on Thursday in Old Trafford against OL, after Ruben Amorim stressed his confidence against him, as soon as the quarter -final go finished.
