Andre Onana has endured a miserable campaign this season in all competitions.
The goalkeeper made another two mistakes in Europa League clash against Lyon on Thursday night.
Onana’s costly display against Lyon on Thursday has only increased the scrutiny around his position.
Onana was directly at fault for both goals in the 2-2 Europa League draw in France.
Firstly, he got caught out by Thiago Almada’s free-kick before parrying a late shot straight into the path of Rayan Cherki for Lyon’s equaliser.

Pressure on Onana has intensified in recent weeks, particularly following public criticism from former United midfielder Nemanja Matic.
He labelled him the “worst goalkeeper in the club’s history” after the Lyon match.
Mike Phelan, who served as assistant manager under Sir Alex Ferguson and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, also weighed in.
He warned Amorim that he can’t keep “covering up those mistakes” and may have to make a big call.
Onana has continued to start despite his inconsistent form.

However, Amorim’s now set to turn to Bayindir, who has been waiting patiently in the wings this season.
United fans and coaches alike have questioned whether Onana can be trusted in key moments.
A change in goal might be the reset needed as Amorim looks to salvage momentum in the run-in.
With Bayindir potentially stepping up and Onana’s place under threat, all eyes will be on Amorim’s team sheet come Newcastle trip.
