In a dramatic match, Manchester United's goalkeeper Andre Onana made two critical errors leading to a goal and a controversial equalizer against Lyon, causing tensions with Nemanja Matic. Matic criticized Onana’s performance ahead of the game, framing him as one of United's poorest keepers. Despite United initially taking the lead through a header by Zirkzee, Cherki's last-minute equalizer left the tie finely balanced heading into the second leg. The article discusses the importance of the upcoming match while reflecting on United's inconsistent performances this season and the pressure on Onana.
In a scarcely credible tale of hubris, Andre Onana was Manchester United's culprit, committing two howlers that cast the goalkeeper as a mug and Nemanja Matic as a seer.
Two-one would have been a good result away from home but now we have to win it at home. They're a good team with a good striker and we need to be ready for everything.
The tit-for-tat closed with Onana's dig that he had won trophies at United unlike Matic in his five years at the club before a nightmarish evening ended with another error.
The breathless denouement means the tie is poised nicely for next week's second leg but given how erratic United are, who will wager they can knock Lyon out and progress to the semi-final?
