nights at Old Trafford over the years, but few will match the madness against Lyon.<\/p>\n<p>United were up, down, out, back in and suddenly through to the semi-finals in a topsy-turvy night.<\/p>\n<p>United will look back at four Lyon goals and feel that most of them were soft, but we can\u2019t really point the finger at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/tag\/andre-onana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andre Onana<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The United stopper couldn\u2019t really do much about Lyon\u2019s goals on the night with those in front of him letting him down at times.<\/p>\n<p>Onana is certainly buzzing with the victory, though, and took to X to share a four-word reaction.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Built with Onana mentality\u2019 said the United goalkeeper, sharing photos of his celebrations as United pulled off an absolute miracle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andre Onana celebration<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Onana will be pleased with the mentality on show, not just from himself, but also the United side as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>United came back from the brink on Thursday night and Onana himself battled through adversity in the build up to the game.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/opinion\/ruben-amorim-must-take-drastic-action-over-35-touch-man-utd-player-display-vs-lyon-was-final-straw\/\"

dropped Onana from the United squad<\/a> against Newcastle United on Sunday, believing that he needed to recharge his batteries.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/news\/andre-onana-responds-to-nemanja-matics-brutal-worst-dig-man-utd-goalkeeper-makes-one-thing-clear\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Onana clashed with Nemanja Matic<\/a> before last week\u2019s game, too, so the combination of on-field performance and off-field jabs left Onana under something of a cloud.<\/p>\n<p>United fans were right behind Onana from the get-go, though, and the Cameroonian made some fine saves on the night.<\/p>\n<p>Onana let the emotion out as Maguire scored the winner, spring over to celebrate with boss Ruben Amorim on the touchline.<\/p>\n<p>TNT Sports captured the footage of Onana\u2019s celebration, with the United stopper no doubt delighted to end this tie on a high having been in such a low place a week ago.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United are through to the semi-finals of the Europa League, but that doesn\u2019t begin to tell
