Andre Onana confident team can win game against Lyon

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana is confident the Red Devils are "far superior" to their rivals ahead of Thursday's Europa League quarter-final first leg against Lyon in France.

Although Manchester United just tied Manchester City 0-0 in the Premier League, they have only won 3 of their past 10 games in all competitions and are currently ranked 13th in the league, with their form fluctuating. The Europa League has become their last hope to qualify for the Champions League this season, so this clash with Lyon, who are in hot form, is particularly crucial.

Onana said in an interview: "We all know the importance of this game. We will go there with a winning mentality and show who we are. If we focus, stay compact, unite and follow the tactical plan, I believe we can win the game. Although it will not be an easy game, I think we are far better than them."

Despite the controversy surrounding his season, Onana has remained steadfast, with some of his passing choices and mistakes sparking criticism but he stressed they were decisions made in the best interest of the team.

"Criticism doesn't affect me because the decisions I make are all to help the team. Sometimes the decisions are right, sometimes they may be wrong. But when I feel that my teammates need to slow down, I will slow down the pace; when we need to speed up, I will also decisively speed up the pace."

It is worth noting that Manchester United's opponent Lyon has won 8 of the last 10 games and lost only 2, and is in great form. After this game, Manchester United will face Newcastle in the Premier League at the weekend, and the schedule is still tight, and tests are coming one after another.
