According to reports, Onana sparked controversy before the Europa League quarter-final first leg by claiming that Manchester United were “much better” than their French opponents—a statement that led to a verbal clash with former United midfielder Nemanja Matic.

It appears that Onana’s teammates are unhappy with his comments, and some believe the Cameroonian goalkeeper has jeopardized his place in the team under Ruben Amorim.

Onana was at fault for both goals in the 2-2 draw against Lyon. The controversy has fueled speculation that Amorim may permanently bench the 29-year-old and give Altay Bayindir a chance. A new report suggests that several United players support this potential decision.

An anonymous source at Old Trafford told The Sun: “Some players are really angry with him (Onana). When you make such statements, you risk your chances, and if things go wrong, you look foolish. Some players believe it’s time for Altay Bayindir to get an opportunity.”

Amorim has now decided to drop Onana from the squad for the upcoming Premier League match against Newcastle on Sunday. It seems the pressure from the dressing room has convinced the Portuguese manager.
