Manchester United suffered yet another disappointing blow to their season after a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the 2025 UEFA Europa League final, triggering backlash against both goalkeeper Andre Onana and head coach Ruben Amorim.
The match, played at a packed neutral venue, saw Tottenham break the deadlock in the 42nd minute when Brennan Johnson converted a cross into a well-placed flick past Onana—what turned out to be the only goal of the game.
Despite Manchester United dominating possession and launching a series of attacks in the second half, they were unable to find the equaliser. The loss capped a trophyless season for the Red Devils, who also failed to make an impact in the Premier League and domestic cup competitions.
Following the defeat, frustrated fans took to social media to vent their anger. A growing number have called for Amorim’s dismissal, citing tactical limitations and a perceived lack of passion or urgency on the sidelines.
“He’s clearly not United standard. No tactical identity, no plan B, no motivation,” one fan wrote on X.
Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag mid-season amid poor form, was expected to revive the club’s fortunes. However, the Europa League final loss has intensified concerns over his long-term suitability for the job.
Meanwhile, Cameroonian goalkeeper Andre Onana is also facing criticism. Supporters questioned his failure to stop Johnson’s shot, reigniting debates over his consistency in big games. Some fans have even urged the club to consider signing a new goalkeeper ahead of the 2025/2026 season.
“Onana’s save percentage in finals is worrying. We need someone reliable at the back,” another fan tweeted.
Manchester United’s board is expected to meet in the coming days to evaluate the club’s direction and performance under Amorim. The defeat marks the end of a tumultuous season, with pressure mounting for significant restructuring during the summer transfer window.
