In a shocking development at Old Trafford, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has launched a scathing criticism of goalkeeper André Onana following a string of costly mistakes in their recent 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town. His post-match remarks have sent shockwaves through the football world, as he openly questioned Onana’s future at the club, making it clear that the Cameroonian shot-stopper does not fit into his plans moving forward.
Amorim did not hold back in the press conference, delivering a brutal assessment of Onana’s performance. “Onana will NEVER be my No. 1 next season—he’s FINISHED!” the Portuguese manager declared. He specifically criticized the goalkeeper’s decision-making and lack of composure, citing a repeated pattern of errors that have plagued the team. Amorim expressed his frustration over the same mistakes occurring in training and now manifesting in crucial matches, further questioning why the club had signed Onana in the first place.
The controversy erupted early in the match when a disastrous miscommunication between Onana and newly signed defender Patrick Dorgu gifted Ipswich an opening goal in the fourth minute. Neither player took decisive action to clear a through ball, allowing Jaden Philogene-Bidace to capitalize on their hesitation and slot the ball into the net. Matters worsened just before halftime when Dorgu received a red card for a reckless challenge, forcing United to play the remainder of the match with ten men.
Despite the setback, United fought back and secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory. An own goal from Sam Morsy, followed by strikes from Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire, ensured all three points for Amorim’s side. However, the team’s defensive vulnerabilities, particularly Onana’s blunders, cast a shadow over the comeback win, leaving fans and pundits frustrated rather than jubilant.
