André Onana was apparently painted out of the Manchester United squad. The performance of the goalkeeper gave rise to criticism.
Manchester United meets Newcastle United in the Premier League – and apparently does without goalkeeper André Onana.
ESPN reports that the controversial goalkeeper was removed from the squad for the game. The Athletic said that the camera will get a break.
André Onana had a hard time in Lyon
As a result, Onana is replaced by number two, Altay Bayindir. According to the report, the club wants to give the goalkeeper the chance to “rest and switch off”.
Public twist with Matic
Onana has been assured that he could continue to remain stammering goalkeeper under coach Ruben Amorim. So it is possible that the 29-year-old will be back in the quarter-final secondary in the Europa League against Olympique Lyon (9 p.m. in the live ticker) next Thursday.
Onana had twice clashed in the 2-2 in the first leg and was heavily criticized for this. He had previously caused a stir when he had a public dispute with Lyon trainer and ex-United player Nemanja Matic.
Matic had described Onana as “one of the worst goalkeepers in the history of United”. The goalkeeper countered with an allusion to the coach’s Titellose.
In addition, Onana had recently struggled with other problems. In March, his wife was involved in a street robbery in Cheshire. The Boulevardblatt The Sun also writes that there are voices in the United team that are said to have spoken out against further operations by the national goalkeeper.
Now Amorim wants to take his keeper out of the fire line and help him get his head free.
