Manchester United may abandon Onana and fight against Newcastle Baindil goalkeeper! If there is no improvement, Amorim wants to buy a new door

Manchester United drew 2-2 away at Lyon in the Europa League, with both goals conceded linked to goalkeeper Andre Onana. Although coach Ruben Amorim publicly stated after the game that he still believes in his team's goalkeeper, British media revealed that he is considering dropping the 29-year-old Cameroon international in the Premier League against Newcastle United on Sunday.

Onana was busy fighting Manchester United veteran Nemanja Matic ahead of the European competition, but his performances were unremarkable. It is understood that he was very discouraged after the game, and Amorim also said that he did not plan to talk to him about anything, he said that there was no need. Of course, his teammates can only support him and say that they don't blame him.

But what grown-ups say isn't necessarily what they think in their hearts. Not only that, but Amorim also has plenty to do for the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final next week, so the trip to Newcastle could be rotated, including captain Bruno Fernandes. And letting Onana rest, away from the focus of public opinion, is also one of the plans. This can not only avoid the main goalkeeper from continuing to be criticized, but also see it as abandoning him and spurring him, while examining the form of other goalkeepers.

Manchester United's back-up goalkeeper Altay Baindil, who has returned from injury and was praised for saving two penalties against Arsenal in the FA Cup, was once thought to be a possible challenge to Onana, but he was soon sidelined with an injury. Asked if he would make changes to his squad at St James' Park in the Premier League, Amorim replied: "Sometimes winning is the best way to prepare for the next game. But of course I have to manage some players carefully and we will stay competitive. We will use all the data that coaches and others have to evaluate and make decisions. We also understand the situation of the players and will try to protect the players who have played a lot of games."

The attitude of the Manchester United players towards Nemanja Matic, who quarreled with Onana, may have hinted at something. Although the veteran Serbian did not play in the game, several of the Reds players who had been his team-mates before the game presented him with a raft of gifts, and after the game he posed for a photo with a number of coaches and staff who had been with the team in the past. It is worth mentioning that former Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea liked this photo.

According to the Daily Mail, sources close to Onana insisted on Friday night that he is a strong man who has overcome difficulties at United before and is now focused on playing well for the team in the upcoming games. But all Onana and his team need to do now is keep their mouths shut, train and play well and speak for themselves. If he needs an example, look no further than Zirkze, who scored what would have been considered the winning goal against Lyon.

Interestingly, the lowest point of Zirkze's United career came at home to Newcastle, when he was replaced by Kobe Mayno before the end of the first half, while the Old Trafford fans cheered and the Dutchman burst into tears. However, he didn't say much, and then regained the recognition of the fans with a good performance.

Zirkze, who has had this experience, supported Onana after the Europa League and said: "We are a team, so we don't blame the player for making mistakes, that would be ridiculous."

Amorim has suggested that United fans should help Onana in the same way that they support Zirkze. "Yes, Zirkze did a great job, but another very important thing was the reaction of the fans after that incident. Even when Zirkze didn't play, you could see that every time he came on or even just warmed up, our fans sang his songs. That's very important to this kid. So it's five or five, half of it is the fans, half of it is the credit of Zirkze. I didn't do anything special, I just explained the situation to him as a former player and then worked hard with him."

According to British media, unless Bagdier has a special performance against Newcastle, Onana may also start the Europa League at home to Lyon in midweek. However, he does need to seriously consider his place in the team, and if he can't play more consistently, it is not impossible to be completely replaced next season.

With Tom Heaton on the verge of retiring and Boyndier likely to seek a move for next year's World Cup, United are set to bring in a goalkeeper this summer. Whether to buy a backup goalkeeper or sign a replacement for Onana has not yet been decided.

A number of high-profile goalkeepers have been linked with Manchester United, the latest of which is Brighton's Barter Verbruggen, the 22-year-old Dutch goalkeeper who has a similar save and error rate to Onana this season, but his passing accuracy is higher than United's no.24.

According to Italy's "Milan Sport", Manchester United have asked Verbruggen about the situation, and the "Seagulls" have paid 16.3 million pounds to bring him in, and are now willing to sell it for 40 million pounds.

Manchester United have a long list of goalkeepers, and although the possibility of David De Gea's return has been ruled out, there are also Championship Burnley's James Trafford, Preston Preston's Freddie Woodman, Blackburn's Ainsley Pierce, La Liga's Espanyol Garcia, Real Madrid's Andriy Lunin and Portuguese Premier League's Diogo Costa.
