Onana Rested for Newcastle Match Amid Criticism, Personal Issues

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has been rested for the upcoming Premier League match against Newcastle United following his poor performance in a 2-2 Europa League draw with Lyon, where he made critical mistakes leading to both goals. Coach Ruben Amorim has opted to start backup goalkeeper Altay Bayindir in what will be Bayindir's Premier League debut. Onana's recent struggles have been compounded by personal issues, including a traumatic robbery incident involving his wife, which has reportedly affected his mental state. Despite the criticism, including harsh remarks from former United midfielder Nemanja Matic, Amorim defended Onana, suggesting that the decision to rest him is intended to help him recuperate before the second leg against Lyon. Onana is expected to return for that crucial match at Old Trafford. The team is currently positioned 13th in the Premier League standings ahead of the Newcastle clash.
