Under-fire Onana's errors gift Lyon first-leg draw with Man Utd

Andre Onana's Costly Mistakes Against Lyon Fuel Matic's Harsh Criticism

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana is once again under the spotlight after a shaky performance in the Europa League quarter-final first leg against Olympique Lyonnais, which ended in a 2-2 draw. Onana’s two crucial errors handed Lyon opportunities that they ruthlessly converted, casting further doubt on his form during a critical point in United’s season.

This comes just days after Nemanja Matic made headlines with a scathing remark, calling Onana “one of the worst goalkeepers to ever play for Manchester United” during a recent interview. While some fans defended the Cameroonian shot-stopper, his performance against Lyon did little to silence the growing criticism.

In the match, Onana misjudged a cross that led to Lyon’s opener and later gifted possession with a misplaced clearance, resulting in a second goal. His errors overshadowed a solid attacking display from United, who now face a challenging second leg.

Despite the backlash, manager Erik ten Hag has defended Onana, highlighting his past heroics and urging fans to show patience. Onana, who arrived from Inter Milan in 2023, was once seen as a long-term solution in goal, praised for his ball-playing skills and reflexes. However, recent blunders have raised questions about his consistency on the big stage.

With United’s European hopes hanging in the balance, Onana will need to deliver a redemption performance in the second leg to rebuild confidence.
