Amorim 'in a rush' to be competitive

Manchester United have work to do at Old Trafford after drawing with Lyon 2-2 in the Europa League quarter-finals.

An error from Andre Onana gave Lyon the lead in the first half after the goalkeeper allowed Thiago Almada’s free kick to bounce over his outstretched arms.

Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes both had clear chances turned wide of the target as they searched for the equaliser which gave Ruben Amorim’s men some hope heading towards the second half.

Leny Yoro confirmed their confidence after meeting Manuel Ugarte’s volley with a glancing header which brought the equaliser on the stroke of half-time.

Joshua Zirkzee, coming off the bench in the second half, thought he had scored the winner after meeting a cross from Fernandes in the 88th minute but another mistake from Onana earned the hosts a point.

He fumbled a shot late in stoppage time but Rayan Cherki was on hand quickly to tap it home.

Andre Onana’s dire performance leaves Man Utd’s Europa League quarter-final on a knife edge

If there was something to support Andre Onana’s theory Manchester United are “way better” than Lyon, there was further fuel for Nemanja Matic’s accusation. A day after the Serb branded the Cameroonian one of the worst goalkeepers in United’s modern history came a pair of mistakes to support his argument. This was one of his worst nights.

Arguably United were superior to Lyon but it was not reflected in the scoreline as a quarter-final remained on a knife-edge. That was due to Onana, who bookended the scoring with blunders, affording Lyon a 95th minute equaliser when he pushed Georges Mikautadze’s shot straight back out. Rayan Cherki, following up, tapped in.

Yoro on scoring his first goal for United:

“I didn’t enjoy too much - no celebration because it’s normal, we want to win.

“No time for celebration. Really happy to score my first goal. We don’t have the win but it’s okay.

“Honestly it was really quick, I don’t even think about anything, I just put my head, try to score.”
