Andre Onana got lost in the Europa League game against Lyon, against Newcastle it was Altay Bayindir who got his chance to make his debut in the Premier League. It ended with another game with a goalkeeping blunder at Manchester United. Before the extremely important second leg against Lyon at Old Trafford on Thursday, the local newspaper reports that United should actually consider benching both the 1st and 2nd goalkeepers.
If Manchester United disappear from the Europa League with a loss to Lyon, the one chance to secure income through a larger part of the prize pool in the Europa League – and the ticket to the Champions League next season as the winner of EL – will also disappear.

Manchester Evening News journalist Steven Ralston believes Amorim should kill both Onana and Bayindir, and give Tom Heaton the opportunity.
“There are actually good reasons to consider Tom Heaton. Heaton hasn’t started a game for United in 803 days and has only played three times since returning to the club. But he is a confident and experienced goalkeeper, and the situation with Onana and Bayindir could open the door for an unexpected comeback, writes the journalist.
It should be mentioned that Heaton has not started a game for United in 803 days. Says a lot about the precarious situation on the line at one of the world’s biggest clubs.
