He was destined to be an opportunity for AndrΓ© onana to silence his critics; Instead, it became a sample of exactly why they become stronger.
The Manchester United goalkeeper endured a night of horror in Lyon on Thursday, giving the hosts two goals, including an equalizer of the detention time, since the first leg of the UEFA Euefa Europa League ended ended 2-2.
But it was not only errors in the field, it was also personal. In the Word of Words with the midfielder of Lyon Nemanja MatiΔ, Onana lost the battle and moral terrain.
The party: United does not achieve for individual errors
United seemed to a valuable victory outside the goals of Leny Yoro and the substitute Joshua Zirkzee canceled Thiago Almada’s first game.
But in the 94th minute, a shot by Georges Mikautadze, which Onana should have handled, spilled again in the box and was buried by Rayan Cheki.
That was the second howler of the International of Cameroon, the first to arrive in the middle of the first half when he judged a free kick that sailed to the intact network.
What could have been a statement of the statement now leaves the draw delicately prepared before the second section next week in Old Trafford.
MatiΔ vs. ONANA: Word words
This accessory was already slowly before the start, thanks to a spicy exchange between former United Nemanja MatiΔ and Onana midfielder.
The Serbian made fun of the goalkeeper, calling him “one of the worst goalkeepers in the history of United”, after Onana said that United was “much better” than Lyon.
MatiΔ, who did not even play at night, was seen repressing a smile after Onana’s first error. Full time, the Serbian had all the ammunition he needed to feel claimed.
The amilem of Amorim: trust or consequences?
The United Manager, Ruben Amorim, who spent part of Wednesday’s press conference defending Onana, found himself doing it again, although more philosophically.
“It can happen. We have another game to change everything. That should be our approach,” said Amorim.
He admitted that the costumes was calm and sore, but insisted that he stays safe from his goalkeeper of a low heat.
It remains to be seen if that trust remains in the second section.
Bigger questions for United
Beyond the calamities of Onana, there were other worrying signs. The scorer of Rasmus HΓΈjlund continued, despite receiving enough time before his substitution.
Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes created opportunities, but United lacked the murderous instinct to finish the game.
The defensive unit, which had improved in recent weeks, was again disappointed by lapses in concentration and bad decision -making, in this case, mainly by its goalkeeper.
Second leg bets: redemption or ruin?
With the tie and Lyon buoyant, United will need a much more composite and clinical exhibition in Old Trafford.
For Onana, the pressure could not be greater, not only to redeem, but to show that the gloves still deserve next season.
He has one more game to change the narration. If not, Ruben Amorim’s summer plans can begin with a new name among the publications.
