Onana Faces Bench for Man Utd's Newcastle Trip Amid Criticism

Andre Onana's performance in Manchester United's 2-2 draw with Lyon has come under scrutiny as his errors led to both of Lyon's goals, prompting manager Ruben Amorim to consider dropping him for the upcoming match against Newcastle. Despite initially defending Onana after the match, Amorim is now weighing changes to the lineup, which could see Altay Bayindir take over in goal. Former United player Mike Phelan suggested that Amorim might be forced to make this decision due to Onana's repeated mistakes affecting the team's performance. Joshua Zirkzee, who scored for United against Lyon, emphasized the necessity of winning the Europa League as their primary route to European competition next season. The draw puts United in a precarious position, as they aim to secure a win in the second leg at Old Trafford to advance in the tournament. As the team sits 13th in the Premier League, the pressure mounts on Amorim to turn around their fortunes quickly.
