The source also claims Onana has been assured that he has not been permanently replaced as Amorim’s No. 1 goalkeeper and could return for the second leg against Lyon

Onana was in the headlines even before his error-strewn display in the 2-2 draw with Lyon following a surprising war of words with ex-Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic.

Responding to Onana’s claim that United were ‘way better’ than their Europa League quarter-final opponents, Matic – now at Lyon – said: ‘You know, I respect everyone but to say that then you need to give the answer.

‘If you are one of the worst goalkeepers in Manchester United’s history, you need to take care what you’re talking about.

‘If it was [Edwin] Van der Sar, [Peter] Schmeichel or [David] De Gea saying that, then I would question myself. But you need to have cover to say something like that.’

Onana soon took to social media to deny he was being ‘disrespectful’ while taking a swipe at the fact Matic never won a trophy during his time at Old Trafford.

‘I would never be disrespectful to another club,’ he wrote. ‘We know that tomorrow will be a difficult game against a strong opponent.

‘We focus on preparing a performance to make our fans proud. At least I’ve lifted trophies with the greatest club in the world. Some can’t say the same.’

Onana made himself look ‘silly’ in the actual match as he made two blunders that led to Lyon goals.

‘He was in the headlines before the game and now he is going to be all over the headlines again,’ former England winger Aaron Lennon said on BBC Radio 5 Live.
