“HE WAS READY, I JUST DIDN’T PICK HIM!” – RUBEN AMORIM DROPS BOMBSHELL ON ANDRÉ ONANA AFTER UNITED’S GOALKEEPING CHAOS
Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim has set Old Trafford on fire once again with another shocking revelation about André Onana. Speaking after their disappointing 1-1 draw with Fulham, the Portuguese coach openly admitted that the Cameroonian goalkeeper was FIT to play last week but was still left out by his own choice.
In Amorim’s own words: “He’s ready, as he was one week ago. I have now made a decision on the goalkeeper.” That statement has left United fans furious, confused, and divided. If Onana was fully fit, then why was he sidelined during such a crucial run of games? Why did Amorim risk throwing in Altay Bayındır instead, when United are already struggling with consistency at the back?
This revelation paints a bigger picture of tension inside the United camp. Onana has been under intense scrutiny since his move from Inter Milan last season, and although his performances improved towards the end of the campaign, Amorim’s brutal honesty suggests there may be more going on behind the scenes. The Cameroonian’s future as first-choice goalkeeper now looks uncertain, especially with reports that United are still in the market for a new No.1.
United’s defensive frailties have already cost them points this season, and Amorim’s decision to bench a fit Onana adds more pressure on his own shoulders. Some supporters believe this was a tactical move to “send a message” to Onana about focus and standards, while others accuse Amorim of making reckless calls that are damaging the team.
The big question now: Will Onana return between the sticks immediately, or has Amorim already decided to phase him out? With Manchester United desperate to regain stability, every decision at goalkeeper will be under the microscope.
What’s clear is that Amorim has drawn a line in the sand. The manager wants full control, and Onana has just become the latest example of his ruthless decision-making.
