"Onana will play tomorrow," said coach Amorim. "As a coach and also a former player, I always try to do what is best for my players in this situation."
Onana had previously made a mistake against Lyon in the first leg of the quarter-finals and was dropped from the MU squad for the 1-4 defeat to Newcastle United last weekend. Onana was replaced as the starting goalkeeper for the "Red Devils" by Altay Bayindir. However, the Turkish goalkeeper also made a mistake against Newcastle.
Amorim stressed that managing the players' emotions was as important as the physical. "We need to get the players back to their natural competition. Onana is ready. I think the weekend was a good time for him to be out of the game and a good opportunity for Altay," he said.
Onana has been linked with a number of clubs in Saudi Arabia, but wants to stay at United to compete for a place and prove his worth. His recent move to change his agent has sparked speculation that he is preparing to leave Old Trafford, but according to insiders, the 29-year-old goalkeeper hopes to stay with the Red Devils for the long term.
Despite finishing bottom of the Premier League, United still have a chance to win the title and qualify for next season's Champions League if they win the Europa League. A win over Lyon would put the Red Devils through to the semi-finals, where they could face Athletic Bilbao or Rangers.
Amorim admitted that winning this tournament would be an important boost for him and MU. A ticket to the Champions League next season would help the Old Trafford team easily shop in the next summer transfer window.
