Like many other matches this season, Man United have never really given fans peace of mind regardless of the opponent.
They fell behind quite early on Lyon's field, scoring 2 goals in a row, even Zirkzee's goal came in the 88th minute, signaling a victory. However, in the final seconds, M.U disappointed when Lyon equalized 2-2.
The 2-2 away result is not bad for Ruben Amorim and his team, but they can do better on a day when the INEOS team comes to watch the match live.
The away goal rule has been canceled for a long time, so in the second leg, if the 90 minutes end in a draw, everything will be very dangerous.
The highlight of the match was once again Andre Onana. The Cameroonian goalkeeper always makes Man United fans mention his name but in a completely negative way. According to statistics, after more than 90 times receiving dangerous shots, Onana made 9 direct mistakes leading to goals conceded.
The current 10% rate proves that Onana cannot be considered a fulcrum of confidence for Man United's defense. In the context of the team focusing all its efforts on the Europa League knockout rounds, Onana's current form is no different from the alarm bell.
After the match, many Lyon fans attacked Andre Onana because before the match, the Man United goalkeeper had a battle with Nemanja Matic in the media. Onana has said the former Man United midfielder's side are not good enough to face the Red Devils.
On the other side of the front line, Matic pointed out bad statistics about Onana and said that this African star is one of the worst goalkeepers in the modern history of Manchester United.
Finally, this battle of wits found its victor. After the draw between the two teams, Matic does not need to say too much because what Onana shows on the field has determined the outcome of who will be the loser. Onana's silly mistake in both goals conceded, especially Lyon's 2-2 equaliser, was unacceptable.
After Man United dropped the victory in the last minute, the television camera turned to Matic's face. The Lyon tactician just laughed, instead of saying everything he wanted about Onana's amateur catch.
In the stands, home fans were shouting, whistling, and even using harsh words against Man United. That is what the "goalkeeper" of Man United has to accept, it is his fault, not anyone else's.
" Of course we were very disappointed, we should have maintained the advantage in goals before the second leg. There is still a match at home and the whole team will try to win.
When a player makes a mistake, it is a common mistake of the whole team. We will continue to select a squad of 11 best names to prepare for the second leg" - Ruben Amorim said about Andre Onana's foul.
