Ruben Amorim oust Andre Onana and Alejandro Garnacho from final matchday squad

Garnacho and Andre Onana are missing from the Man United squad to face Aston Villa

Garnacho and Onana

Ruben Amorim have decided to omit Andre Onana and Alejandro Garnacho from their final game of the Premier League season for the visit of Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.

Manchester United will play their final game without two important stars from their squad due to what the club views as “divided opinion” throughout the season.

Onana has not been himself throughout the season, constantly producing several blunders, leading to his complete drop from the squad in favour of Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton.

On Garbacho, his comments after the Europa League final over a lack of game time mean that the Argentine will not have a place in the squad for the final game of the campaign.

The 20-year-old winger was left out of the starting XI that Spurs beat despite starting in ten of their matches in the European campaign.

Garnacho was benched against Spurs with Mason Mount and Amad Diallo operating as forwards.

Garnacho has played 58 times this season across all competitions, more than any other United player.

He has 11 goals to his name and remains linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with Chelsea showing interest in January.

The Argentine is believed to have been informed by Amorim to find a new club after hearing of his comments after their 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the UEL.

Garnacho is under contract at United until 2028

Bayindir, the second-choice goalkeeper, starts between the posts at Old Trafford, with Garnacho and Onana not even making the bench.

According to The Athletic, Ruben Amorim addressed players at the club’s Carrington training ground on Saturday to inform them of his plans.

Since the beginning of last season, Onana has made eight errors leading to goals in all competitions

Despite Amorim openly putting himself on the line to be sacked, the Old Trafford bosses are believed to be behind Amorim to stay in charge of the club for next season.

Amorim was asked in his final pre-match press conference of the season whether he has sought to clarify Fernandes and Garnacho’s futures.

And he said: “I will speak with my players but my focus is the last game. I don’t know what is going to happen.

“We have a plan — we were prepared for both situations, with or without Champions League.

“We have an idea what type of squad we want. Now we have to focus on the game, we now have the last game and we have time to address those situations.”
