PL: Amorim gives Onana a break after a tough week!

In a surprising decision, Manchester United's Portuguese coach, Rúben Amorim, has chosen to exclude Cameroonian goalkeeper André Onana from the squad for the match against Newcastle United, this Sunday, as part of the 32nd round of the Premier League.

This decision aims to provide a mental break for the Red Devils' goalkeeper after a particularly challenging week, both on and off the pitch.

Since his arrival at Old Trafford, Onana has not missed a single minute in the league, playing 69 consecutive matches. This Sunday's game will mark his first absence in the Premier League since his transfer.

According to several English media outlets, Amorim — former coach of Sporting Portugal — decided to give his goalkeeper a break, especially after his mistakes in the first leg against Olympique Lyonnais in the Europa League quarter-finals, which directly led to two goals conceded.

But Onana's difficulties are not limited to his on-field performances. His partner was recently the victim of a daylight robbery outside an Italian restaurant in the upscale Alderley Edge neighborhood. Individuals stole a luxury Hermès Birkin bag, valued at £62,000, along with a precious Rolex watch.

Onana, the most error-prone goalkeeper in the PL since last season!

As if that weren't enough, a worrying statistic published by the specialized network “Opta” indicates that Onana is the goalkeeper who has made the most errors leading directly to a goal in the Premier League since the start of last season, with a total of eight mistakes.

Despite this challenging period, the Cameroonian goalkeeper is expected to return next Thursday for the second leg against Olympique Lyonnais, after a spectacular first leg that ended in a draw (2-2).
