In preparation for their match against Newcastle on Sunday, Manchester United decided to remove Andre Onana off their roster.
As a result of the fact that he was responsible for both goals scored against Lyon in the Europa League match that took place on Thursday, the player who was worth £47 million has been excluded from Ruben Amorim’s roster.
He was replaced by Altay Bayindir, who made his first appearance in the Premier League. Additionally, left-back Harry Amass, who is just 18 years old, had his first appearance in the Premier League.
Amorim made the following statement prior to the game against Newcastle: “There are times when you have to encourage the player to play again, and there are other times when you have to let him disconnect a little bit.”
In light of the fact that Andre will be participating in training to be ready for the next one tomorrow, I thought it would be a good idea for him to disengage from the team.
Harry Amass, a left back who is only 18 years old, may also make his entire debut, since there are suggestions that he may start in the midst of a number of other players being substituted.
The position of Onana in Amorim’s team has grown increasingly uncertain as a result of a series of errors that have occurred in the goal for Manchester United.
Since the beginning of the previous season, he has committed eight mistakes that have directly resulted in goals being scored. In that span of time, no other custodian in the Premier League has made more than that.
As a consequence of this, it is anticipated that the Red Devils would part ways with the 29-year-old player during the summer.
According to talkSPORT, Manchester United has increased its effort to scout Parma custodian Zion Suzuki, who is said to be worth over forty million pounds.
Amorim had awarded Onana the vote of confidence following the Europa League encounter that took place on Thursday, despite the fact that he had been removed from the United team.
When asked about his blunders, the manager of the Red Devils stated, “If you look at the season, I’ve made more mistakes than they have during these last games and during these last months.”
“At this very moment, there is nothing that I can say to Andre that will be of any use to him. Therefore, the most essential thing is to be natural, and when the time comes, I will select the best eleven players to play. On the other hand, I have a lot of faith in Andre.
Off the pitch, he has been having a rough time in recent days and weeks, in addition to the numerous mistakes he has made on the play.
Late in the month of March, his wife was the sufferer of a violent robbery on the street, during which a Rolex watch and a Hermes bag were taken from her.
As a result of the occurrence, the family need protective measures around the clock.
Additionally, the international player from Cameroon got embroiled in a confrontation with Nemanja Matic.
The midfielder who had played for Manchester United and is now playing for Lyon referred to him as “one of the worst goalkeepers in United’s history.”
In retaliation, Onana brought up the fact that he had won trophies at United, including the FA Cup, although Matic had not been able to do so in his five years of service to the club.
Due to the fact that the custodian made mistakes that directly contributed to two goals, he was unable to accomplish his aim of proving his competitor incorrect.
Troy Deeney, a former striker in the Premier League, was fine for Onana expressing an opinion, but he expressed his concern that “you can’t back it up with a performance like that.”
“One mistake, things happen,” Deeney said in an interview with talkSPORT.
It’s an awful number. And until we stepped into that room and he apologised, saying something along the lines of “My fault, sorry lads,” but he was real about it, he is going to have to face some significant questions.
