🚨 INTERNAL FRICTION! Onana Publicly Blasts Ruben Amorim After Europa League Draw – United Locker Room in Turmoil
Here’s the scoop:
Tensions are boiling at Manchester United after goalkeeper André Onana publicly expressed disappointment in manager Ruben Amorim, following the club’s 2-2 draw with Lyon in the Europa League quarter-final first leg.
What triggered the fallout:
Onana was responsible for Lyon’s opening goal due to a free kick error. But post-match, Amorim reportedly made a private comment that struck a nerve.
> “He said something to me that he should not have,” Onana revealed. “Even though I made a mistake, I’m terribly disappointed in him today.”
This direct statement points to fractures behind the scenes, despite Amorim’s previous public defense of his goalkeeper.
The bigger picture:
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is reportedly growing impatient and is eyeing Lazio’s Ivan Provedel as a potential £35M replacement.
The keeper shake-up would align with Ratcliffe’s vision of a revamped, competitive squad.
Why this matters:
United’s season is at a crossroads. With the second leg against Lyon looming, this internal conflict could disrupt focus and chemistry, especially in a critical European tie.
What to watch for:
Onana’s performance in the return leg — will he respond with strength or falter under pressure?
Amorim’s squad management — can he maintain unity as the media spotlight intensifies?
Transfer developments — will United accelerate their move for Provedel amid the drama?
The red half of Manchester is bracing for a stormy end to the season, and this Onana-Amorim spa
t might just be the first crack.
