Ruben Amorim is considering removing Andre Onana from the shooting line for the journey from Manchester United to Newcastle on Sunday with Altay Bayindir on standby to play in St James' Park.
Onana was the error for both Lyon goals, because United was held on Thursday evening to a 2-2 Europa League-equal game in France.
Mail Sport understands that Amorim has been set to make a number of changes for the visit to Tyneside and his number 2 Keeper Bayindir could play in Doel.
“We have to be confronted in Newcastle with a team that can be competitive to win the game,” said the United Boss.
'Sometimes winning games is the best way to prepare for the next one. Of course I will be careful with some players, but again, we have to be competitive. '
Amorim supported Onana publicly in Lyon and United striker Joshua Zirkzee, whose deceased header seemed to have won the draw until the Cameroon International had given the French side equalizer, it was on Friday that he also had the support of his teammates.
“One hundred percent,” said Zirkzee. 'We are one team, so we are not going to take anyone with us for making mistakes. That is ridiculous. '
However, the former assistant of Sir Alex Ferguson, Mike Phelan, believes that Amorim's hand can be forced.
“That is the biggest decision as a manager you have to make,” said Phelan. 'Is there a no. 2 goalkeeper at United able to play the number 1 role for the rest of the season? You cannot continue to cover those mistakes. '
In the meantime, United is investigating accusations that their fans were torn by the French police.
The club would collect facts to give a clear picture of what happened.
