The mistakes of Andre Onana are also the team as his, according to Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim.
Onana made significant blunders when United drove 2-2 with Lyon on Thursday in the first stage of their Europa League quarter final.
The goalkeeper, who had brave that United was “much better” than Lyon in the structure, was the mistake for both Lyon goals.
He let Thiago Almada's 25th minute free kick drive over his head to give Lyon the lead before he allowed Rayan Cherki to resemble death, so that the 88th-minute head of Joshua Zirkzee was canceled.
Onana has now made eight errors for goals since the start of last season, more than any other Premier League goalkeeper in all competitions.
But Amorim said to TNT Sports: “When a player has a mistake, all the team makes a mistake, so we'll continue like this.
“We are really disappointed [to concede late]. We should have taken an advantage of one goal from the next game, but we have the next game at home – we will try to win that game. “

When he interviewed his faith in Onana, Amorim replied: “We continue to do the same. Training, seeing the games, trying to choose the best eleven to win the game.”
On a more positive note for United, the 19-year-old center-back Leny Yoro led his first goal for the club at the rest at the level of Amorim and attracted Amorim's his level.
Yoro, a big money that was signed from Lille last summer, missed a large part of the season due to an injury, but he regularly played under Amorim.
And although he did not enjoy his goal, because there was “no time for a party”, the defender insisted that United should not drop their heads for next week's second stage.
“I think if we won 2-1, we would be more confidence [to make it through]. It is difficult, but we have to keep our head up. We have not lost, we can win at Old Trafford, “he said.
Onana and United will want to bounce back when they are confronted with Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday.
