‘That can happen’
Ruben Amorim suggested the distracting Lyon CROWD had a part to play in Andre Onana’s performance.
Amorim said: “I don’t know, that can happen.
“The best thing is to look at the goals and all the actions that Andre has had in the game and to talk with [goalkeeper coaches Jorge] Vital and Craig [Mawson].
“This is the best way to help any player – to focus on the game, what happened, what we need to improve and then put the player [in] again.”
Cantona – Ratcliffe ‘destroying’ United
Man Utd legend Eric Cantona has taken an incredible swipe at co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
The Frenchman claims the Ineos owner and his team are trying to “destroy everything” and blasted the decision to move away from Old Trafford.
“Cantona, 58, said: “I support United because I really love United, but now if I was a fan and I had to choose a club I don’t think I would choose United.
“For me, that is very important to respect these people like you respect your manager and your team-mates.
“I think since Ratcliffe arrived it’s the complete opposite and this team of directors they try to destroy everything and they don’t respect anybody.
“They even want to change the stadium.
Sesko race
Benjamin Sesko could join Man Utd rather than Arsenal, according to one transfer insider.
The RB Leipzig forward has been attracting attention from Prem clubs ahead of the summer.
The Athletic’s David Ornstein claims Arsenal have put “significant work” into Sesko.
But he adds that the Gunners have “reservations” about a possible deal and the forward could yet end up at either United or Chelsea.
Keeping him in
When asked if he could drop Onana, Amorim defiantly replied: “No we continue to do the same thing.
“Training, seeing the games, trying to choose the best eleven to win every match.
“When one player has a mistake, all the team has a mistake so we continue like that.”
Am here for you
Ruben Amorim has leapt to the defence of Andre Onana – insisting he WON’T drop the under-fire keeper.
Amorim insists he still has faith in the calamitous Cameroonian, saying: “If you look at the season, I’ve made more mistakes than them during these last games and during these last months.
“There’s nothing I can say to Andre in this moment that will help him.
“So the most important thing is to be natural and then when the time comes I will choose the best XI to play.
“But I’m really confident in Andre.”
Mat leave
Man Utd risked the wrath of keeper Andre Onana by giving Nemanja Matic a slew of gifts after their Europa League clash with Lyon.
Under-fire stopper Onana was embroiled in a pre-match spat with the Lyon ace ahead of the first leg of their quarter-final tie in France on Thursday, which they drew 2-2.
And the 29-year-old could very well be irked by his team-mates gifting the former United midfielder several shirts after the final whistle.
Early this morning, Matic revealed that he’d been gifted shifts from Amad Diallo, Harry Maguire, Tom Heaton and Luke Shaw.
The Serbian, however, didn’t keep them for his personal collection, instead gifting them to his son Filip.
United’s coaching staff also showed their love for Matic as they posed for pictures with the two-time Premier League winner.
