"If Amorim plays him next week he should be sacked", "Leave him in France" - Fans slam Manchester United star after 2-2 Lyon draw
Manchester United fans on X have blasted Andre Onana after he made two errors leading to goals during their 2-2 draw against Lyon. The two sides faced each other in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League quarter-final clash at the Groupama Stadium on Thursday, April 10.
Onana caused a rift before the game by stating that the Red Devils were a 'way better' side than Lyon. Nemanja Matic didn't take kindly to the former's comments and responded (via BBC):
"If you are one of the worst keepers in Manchester United history, you need to take care. If David de Gea, Peter Schmeichel or Edwin van der Sar said that, I would question myself. But if, statistically, you are one of the worst goalkeepers in Manchester United's modern history, he needs to show that before he says."
Andre Onana's comments returned to haunt him in the 25th minute when Thiago Almada crossed the ball into the box from a free-kick. The 29-year-old completely misjudged the ball as it went past him into the back of the net to hand Lyon a 1-0 lead.
The Red Devils leveled the scores via Leny Yoro's first goal for the club (45+5'). Joshua Zirkzee thought he had won the game for the visitors when he headed home in the 88th minute to make it 2-1. However, Onana made another howler after he pushed the ball back into the path of Rayan Cherki following a save, enabling the latter to seal a draw in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
One fan posted:
"If Amorim plays Onana next week he should be sacked"
Another fan tweeted:
"Leave Onana in France"
Other fans reacted below:
"Onana proving Matic right. Never been such a predictable turn of events," one fan commented
"Onana leave this club immediately," another demanded
"Onana is the weapon fashioned against us," one fan stated
"Few players have ever brought more shame and embarassment to this institution than Onana. The arrogance of Ibrahimovic but the ability of Almunia. I'm sick to my stomach. Goodnight," another chimed in
