Ruben Amorim confirms Onana return for Man Utd's crucial Europa League match against Lyon

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim confirmed that Andre Onana will return as starting goalkeeper for the crucial Europa League quarter-final second leg against Lyon, following his omission from the squad during their recent defeat to Newcastle. Onana's errors in the first leg against Lyon were costly, prompting Amorim to give him a mental break by benching him, but understudy Altay Bayindir's poor performance at St. James' Park failed to secure the No. 1 spot. Amorim emphasized the importance of managing players both physically and mentally, stating that Onana needed time to 'disconnect' before coming back for the decisive match. Former United defender Wes Brown backed Onana's recall, highlighting his experience and expressing confidence that he can overcome his previous mistakes. United's hopes for silverware and Champions League qualification ride on this match, making the goalkeeper decision pivotal for the outcome of their season. The tie remains finely balanced after the 2-2 first leg, with Amorim's choice in goal likely to have a significant impact on United's European fate.
