Manchester United’s goalkeeper, André Onana, faces a pivotal moment in his tenure at Old Trafford following a series of high-profile errors in the UEFA Champions League.

The latest misstep occurred in a 2-2 draw against Olympique Lyon in the quarter-final first leg, where Onana’s performance was scrutinized.

Subsequently, he was dropped for the 4-1 defeat to Newcastle in the Premier League, with Altay Bayındır taking his place between the posts. ​

Despite these setbacks, United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed that Onana will return to the starting lineup for the crucial second leg against Lyon at Old Trafford.

Amorim emphasized that the decision was made after careful consideration and discussions with Onana, aiming to provide clarity and preparation for the player.

He acknowledged that while Onana’s previous success at Inter Milan and Bayındır’s track record with Fenerbahçe demonstrate their capabilities, inconsistency remains a shared issue across the squad.

The upcoming match represents a defining moment for Onana. A commanding performance could restore confidence in his abilities and solidify his position as United’s first-choice goalkeeper.

However, continued errors may prompt the club to reassess their options in the summer transfer window. With United’s Champions League aspirations on the line, all eyes will be on Onana to deliver when it matters most.
