Onana, Ruben Amorim under fire after Manchester United lost Europa League final

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana and head coach Ruben Amorim have come under intense scrutiny following the club’s 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the 2025 Europa League final.

Tottenham’s continuous pressing paid off in the 42nd minute when Brennan Johnson latched onto a cross and flicked it past goalkeeper Andre Onana, giving his side the lead.

In the second half, Manchester United took control of the game, bombarding their opponents with shots and crosses, but were unsuccessful.

Reacting to the result, some Manchester United fans have called for the dismissal of head coach Amorim, citing his inability to effectively utilise the squad at his disposal.

They argue that the manager’s tactics and demeanor, which doesn’t seem to inspire the players when losing, show he is not up to the club’s standard, especially after the team’s worst season in over half a century.

Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana was heavily criticised for not saving Johnson’s shot, which ultimately hurt the club.

Fans have called on team officials to consider signing another goalkeeper for next season, warning that their woes would continue otherwise.

Manchester United ended the season trophyless after failing to win the Premier League, Europa League, and other league cups in the 2024/2025 season.

Amorim took over from Erik Ten Hag mid-season during the team’s struggles but unfortunately has not been able to turn things around.
