Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim challenged 2-2 in the club’s tense match with a 2-2 draw in the club’s first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals.
Amorim acknowledged his share of responsibility, noting that “If you look at this season, over the past few months, I’ve made more mistakes than players. That’s happening.”
In the game held in France, Thiago Almada opened Lyon’s score with a free kick that unexpectedly slid past Andre Onana, catching the goalkeeper off guard.
As the game progressed, United managed to balance Leny Yoro’s goal before halftime.
Joshua Zirkzee appears to have scored late in the second half. However, at the moment of misjudgment, Onana sprinkled a regular shot and fell into the path of Rayan Cherki, who took advantage of the opportunity to win Lyon a late equalizer.
Given the bets encountered and the crystallization of a series of disappointing results, Amorim suggested Onana shift her focus to the upcoming Premier League match against Newcastle United, emphasizing the importance of keeping focused and resilience.
“Andre has to focus on the next Premier League game and then we turn our attention to the second leg.” Amorim said.
“When a player makes a mistake, it usually reflects the entire team.”
As United prepares for an upcoming clash with Newcastle and a decisive game against Lyon next week at Old Trafford, everyone will see Onana how he will rebound from the challenging encounter.
