What Ruben Amorim think about onana before dropping him against……….

 

 

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has opened up on why he left Andre Onana out of the squad for Sunday’s Premier League game at Newcastle.

Ruben Amorim has dropped Andre Onana from the Manchester United squad to face Newcastle United due to his recent performances. Although Amorim expressed confidence in Onana, stating “I’m really confident in Andre” and choosing not to drop him permanently, the Portuguese manager decided to give Onana a break after his nightmare performance against Lyon in the Europa League quarter-final.¹

Onana was at fault for both goals conceded by Manchester United in the 2-2 draw against Lyon, and Amorim seems to be shielding his goalkeeper from further scrutiny. The decision allows Altay Bayindir to start in goal against Newcastle, providing an opportunity for the Turkish goalkeeper to stake his claim for the No. 1 shirt.²

*Reasons Behind Dropping Onana:*

– *Recent performances*: Onana’s errors against Lyon, including misjudging Thiago Almada’s cross and failing to deal with a shot in stoppage time, likely influenced Amorim’s decision.
– *Rest and disconnection*: Amorim wants Onana to have time to rest and clear his head after a tough period.
– *Team dynamics*: Amorim emphasizes the importance of choosing the best XI to play and believes that one player’s mistake is a team mistake.³ ⁴

Onana is expected to return to the team for the second leg against Lyon at Old Trafford.
