What Manchester United players did with Andre Onana after Lyon draw shows he is in trouble

Andre Onana checked the goalframe before kick off. It was stable. The Manchester United goalkeeper wasn't.

"Honour the coat of arms, fight like lions!" demanded the pre-match banner unfurled by Lyon supporters. Onana, one of Cameroon's 'Indomitable Lions', was tame.

Onana had to be faultless in Lyon. He was at fault for both goals. He appealed against Rayan Cherki's 95th-minute equaliser but he was wasting his time. He spilt a straight shot straight into Cherki's path. Nobody was offside.
