Onana\u2019s first mistake allowed Thiago Almada\u2019s crossed free-kick to somehow find its way in at the far post. The second, in the last moments of added time, Onana spilled a shot he really ought to have held and Lyon\u2019s young prodigy Rayan Cherki tapped in the equaliser. At that point, United were leading through Joshua Zirkzee\u2019s 87th-minute header, which followed Leny Yoro\u2019s equaliser.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Zirkzee defended his teammate and confirmed he still has the team\u2019s backing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe're one team, so we're not going to take someone out for making mistakes. That's ridiculous. To draw in this way is always a little bit, I don't want to say frustrating, but it hurts for it to go this way. But we just have to focus on the next game and that's Newcastle away. And then we all know what we have to do when we face Lyon again at home next week,\u201d Zirkzee was quoted as saying by English newspaper Daily Mail.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With United dwindling to 14th place in the Premier League, the Europa League remains their only hope of qualifying for European competitions next season as the winner of the tournament automatically qualifies for the UEFA Champions League.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Zirkzee remains confident that United still have the better chance of qualifying for the next round, with the second leg slated to be played at Old Trafford next week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
