Amorim to decide whether to star Onana for Europa League
The Portuguese coach decided to drop Onana in Man United’s 4-1 defeat Newcastle United on Sunday.
Onana made two costly mistakes in the 2-2 first leg draw with Lyon on Thursday.
Altay Bayindir made his Premier League debut against Newcastle, but conceded four goals.
“You guys have to wait,” said Amorim when asked which of his goalkeepers will start against Lyon.
“We are going to start the next week tomorrow [Monday] and I’m going to choose the best starting XI for the next one.”
The struggle continues
Amorim criticized United’s second-half performance at St. James’ Park, during which Newcastle were gifted three goals.
Alejandro Garnacho cancelled out Sandro Tonali’s opener just before half-time, but a dismal display after the break ruined any chance of securing a result.
“When we suffered the second goal in the beginning of the second half we went down and we need to be better in these moments, we need to control it,” said Amorim.
“They are already a really, really good team but the mistakes we made during the game helped the team to win confidence and win the game.”
The defeat marked United’s 14th of the season, as they will finish the campaign with their lowest ever points total in the Premier League era.
“It’s the reflection of our season,” said Amorim.
“We need to accept that and to move forward and try to do things so much better in the future so we don’t have this kind of season again.”
