Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana will reportedly miss Sunday’s Premier League clash with Newcastle United, according to the Manchester Evening News.
The decision comes after intense criticism of Onana’s performance in Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final first leg against Lyon, where he made two crucial mistakes.
Onana’s Recent Struggles
Onana’s errors against Lyon, including a fumbled shot and a misjudged free kick, have sparked debate about his position in the team.
Some Manchester United players have allegedly turned on him, with midfielder Nemanja Matic publicly criticizing his performance.
Bayindir Set for Debut?
With Onana out, Altay Bayindir is reportedly set to make his Premier League debut for Manchester United against Newcastle.

Head coach Ruben Amorim claims Onana has been “rested” rather than dropped, citing personal issues that may be affecting the goalkeeper’s performance.
Onana’s Future
The bigger question is whether Onana will return to goal for Manchester United’s crucial Europa League match against Lyon next week.
If Bayindir puts in a strong performance against Newcastle and keeps a clean sheet, he could be in line for a chance to prove himself.
However, Onana remains the team’s number one goalkeeper, and Amorim may opt to stick with him for the high-stakes match against Lyon.
Amorim’s Decision
Amorim faces a tough decision in the coming days, balancing the need for consistency with the opportunity to give Bayindir a chance to shine.
Will Onana regain his place in goal, or will Bayindir seize the opportunity to make a lasting impression? The outcome remains to be seen.
