- Did so against Tottenham
- Again in Wolves defeat
WHAT HAPPENED?
Onana conceded directly from a corner as United lost 2-0 at Wolves on Sunday. Amazingly, the goalkeeper also conceded an Olimpico against Tottenham in a 4-3 defeat in the Carabao Cup quarter-final, but manager Amorim claims that he was obstructed and could not get to the ball at Molineux.
Getty Images SportTHE BIGGER PICTURE
United were level with the Molineux side before Bruno Fernandes was sent off. Cunha scored from the corner, then Hwang Hee-Chan rounded out the victory in injury time. United have now lost four of their last five fixtures and languish in 14th in the Premier League.
WHAT AMORIM SAID
Amorim told reporters, when asked if Onana was fouled: "I think he cannot go to the ball. He's trying to reach the ball and some guys are not even looking at the ball but I don't want to focus on that. I think the good thing is we were near the goal, even with 10 men. That is a good thing, but we lost."

United play Newcastle on Monday before a titanic meeting with Liverpool at Anfield. They then face Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup.
