Leny Yoro expressed his frustration after Man United conceded an equalizer of 95th minute against Lyon in the Europa League.
The Red Devils faced the French side in the first leg of their quarter -final Thursday evening, Yoro canceling the opening of Thiago Almada who came after an error from Andana.
Joshua Zirkzee’s 88th minute strike seemed to have won a vital victory for Ruben Amorim’s team before next week, but Rayan Cherki hit a goal for the last blow after Onana overturned Georges Mikautadze’s shot.
Onana’s disastrous game came after being involved in a word war with the former Man United – and now Lyon – the midfielder Nemanja Matic in the construction of the confrontation.
Matic had been an exception to Onana saying that Lyon is a very good team ”, but that “I think we are better than them”, marking the shooting shooting “ one of the worst goalkeepers in the history of Man United “.
And, after the performance of Onana, Yoro had trouble hiding his frustration, in particular with the second error.

“If you watch the season, I made more mistakes than them in the last games and in recent months,” he said.
