Manchester United Rest André Onana After Costly Europa League Errors

Goalkeeper André Onana was excluded from the Newcastle match to recover mentally following mistakes against Lyon and personal challenges, with his return expected for the Europa League second leg.

André Onana was left out of Manchester United's squad for their Premier League match against Newcastle United after two high-profile mistakes in the Europa League quarter-final first leg against Lyon.
Manager Ruben Amorim explained the decision as a chance for Onana to 'disconnect' and recover mentally, emphasizing the importance of managing player well-being.
Onana's errors against Lyon directly contributed to a 2-2 draw, with criticism from former United player Nemanja Matic adding to the scrutiny surrounding his performance.
Off-field issues have compounded Onana's challenges, including his wife's robbery in March, which prompted Manchester United to provide 24-hour protection for his family.
Despite his absence against Newcastle, Onana is expected to return for the crucial Europa League quarter-final second leg at Old Trafford later this week.
