Scholes blasts Onana for his two blunders in Man United’s 2-2 draw against Lyon

Andre Onana was radiated by former Manchester United star Paul Scholes after the goalkeeper produced two crys against Lyon on Thursday evening.

The Cameroonian Shot stopper was in default on both goals that were admitted by the Red Devils, which meant that they were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw.

In an attempt to tackle what turned out to be the last kick of the game in the 95th minute, Onana spilled the shot of Georges Mikautadze, so Rayan Cherki could tap the rebound.

Speaking after the game on TNT sports, Scholes said: 'I think he was more to blame for the first, a big mistake, a little more difficult, but he has to do better than that.

'In general [it is] The right result. Lyon played better football and created more opportunities, but [after] Scoring so late United will be disappointed and they are at home in a good position, [so] They still have to be big favorites, but they will have to improve. '

That came after an earlier error to give the home team the lead when he fluttered to a cross that attackers had avoided the middle and saw the ball bouncing over him and in the goal.

The mistakes of Onana come down in the aftermath of a cruel by the former Red Devils -midfielder Nemanja Matic, who tied him as 'one of the worst keepers' in the history of the club prior to the European League collision between United and Lyon.

The feud started with Onana and claimed that United 'is better than' their opponents, with Matic, who left Old Trafford in 2022 and went back with his brutal answer that he was worse than most Red Devils goalkeepers.

Onana, who was hunted by the home fans, would have hoped to prove the Serbian incorrectly. Instead, after 25 minutes he was the most culpable for the opener of Thiago Almada.

The incident criticized the former Red Devils Academy -graduated Robbie Savage, who described it as a 'terrible keeping error'.

“It's a keeping error,” he said at TNT sports. 'It's a good ball in a great area. Anticipates Onana on a touch? Everyone sees aside. It is a terrible keeping error, it bounces just before him, he has to save that, it's a bad keeping error.

“He went late because he is waiting for someone to get a touch. Look, we can view it as often as we want – it's a mistake. '

Research by Onana has come after a series of controversial errors since he came to United in 2023 for £ 47 million from Inter Milan.

According to Opta, Onana has the worst clean leaf percentage and the second worst savings percentage of every United goalkeeper who has played more than 900 minutes since the 2003-04 season.

The Cameroonian has admitted 99 goals in 69 Premier League performances, saved 70.1 percent of the shots with which he was confronted and only held a clean slate 18 times – a 26.1 percent.

Only different Lindegaard has a worse savings percentage among the keepers group.

United is 13th in the Premier League and are on track for their worst finish since the rebrand of the top flight in 1992.
