Amorim backs Onana despite errors in Europa League draw

Following a 2-2 draw against Lyon in the Europa League quarter-final first leg, Manchester United's head coach Ruben Amorim expressed his unwavering confidence in goalkeeper Andre Onana, despite two crucial errors that led to Lyon's goals. Onana's mistakes included misjudging a free-kick and a weak parry that allowed Rayan Cherki to equalize in stoppage time. Amorim emphasized that mistakes are part of the game and noted that he himself had made more errors recently. He dismissed the idea of dropping Onana for the upcoming matches, stressing the importance of focusing on future games rather than dwelling on individual mistakes. The atmosphere surrounding Onana was tense, heightened by comments from former United player Nemanja Matic, who criticized the goalkeeper's performance, but Amorim chose to focus on team improvement. The team is now looking ahead to their next match against Newcastle and the return leg against Lyon.
