Benni McCarthy Opens Up on Evolving Relationship with Jose Mourinho After Becoming Harambee Stars Coach
Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy and Jose Mourinho have a shared history from their days at FC Porto.
Onana's performance was the talk of the night in the Red Devil's 2-2 Europa League draw away to Lyon with many pointing fingers at the 29-year-old for both of the French side’s goals.

However, Amorim has taken a bold stance, pointing to his own role in the club’s turbulent form and outlining three key reasons why Onana still has his full support.
“If you look at the season I've made more mistakes than them during these last games and during these last months,” Amorim admitted after the match as quoted by BBC.
“There's nothing I can say to Andre in this moment that will help him, so the most important thing is to be natural and then when the time comes I will choose the best XI to play. But I'm really confident in Andre.”

Harambee Stars Defender Makes CAF Confederation Cup History After His South African Club Stuns Zamalek
Harambee Stars defender Brian Mandela will be part of a Stellenbosch team that will play in the CAF Confederation Cup semi-final for the first time in the club’s history.
3. Accountability Starts at the Top
The Portuguese manager made it clear he views team struggles as a collective responsibility and not something to pin on individuals.
)
The manager's admission of personal fault is a rare move among top-level coaches, especially in the midst of intense scrutiny and pressure.
“When one player has a mistake, all the team has a mistake so we continue like that,” Amorim said, brushing aside suggestions that Onana should be dropped for next week’s second leg at Old Trafford.
United are currently 13th in the Premier League and desperately clinging to Europa League success as their last shot at European football next season.
2. Belief in the Bigger Picture
Despite Onana’s league-high eight errors leading to goals since last season—more than any other Premier League keeper—Amorim pointed to the long-term value of maintaining belief in key players.
)
Onana, who has faced heavy criticism from fans and even ex-teammates like Nemanja Matic, continues to divide opinion.
“We continue to do the same thing. Training, seeing the games, trying to choose the best eleven to win every match,” he told TNT Sports.

Top 10 Greatest Goals in Football History
From Lionel Messi's spectacular against Getafe in 2007 to Diego Maradona's stunner against England in 1986, these are the top 10 greatest goals in football history.
The Portuguese manager's approach appears focused on consistency and building confidence, even in the wake of the high-profile mistakes.
1. Shielding Players from a Toxic Narrative
Amorim’s backing comes at a time when Onana is under fire both on and off the pitch.
)
Just a day before the match, Matic labelled him “statistically one of the worst goalkeepers in Manchester United history.”
Onana was booed every time he touched the ball in Lyon and made two significant errors—first failing to stop Thiago Almada’s wide free-kick, then spilling Georges Mikautadze’s late shot to gift Rayan Cherki the equalizer.
Former England midfielder Aaron Lennon summed up the general mood on BBC Radio 5 Live: “They’re two massive mistakes. He has got to save both of them… he has cost United today.”
United will need a win at Old Trafford next Thursday to reach the Europa League semi-finals.
