Goaltender André Onana, pointed out for the two goals conceded during the game go to Groupama Stadium, is offered a new opportunity to demonstrate his qualities. Following a recent disagreement with Nemanja Matic, the Cameroonian goaltender will be lined up in Old Trafford during the return match. This decision reflects the willingness of the technical manager to allow him to redeem himself and regain the expected level of performance.

Team manager Ruben Amorim justified this choice at a press conference, stressing the importance of careful management of players, both physically and mentally. He stressed that André Onana had been given a week’s rest and that he was now ready to take up this new challenge. The coach also mentioned having taken all the factors into account in his decision, affirming his belief that the goalkeeper will be able to deliver quality performance.

By recalling André Onana’s remarkable performances during his visit to Inter Milan, the coach wanted to remind the player of his potential and instill confidence. This confidence building is part of a supportive approach aimed at helping the caretaker overcome his difficulties and regain his full capacity, at the service of the team.
