He was subsequently dropped for the league game against Newcastle, replaced by Altay Bayindir, who went on to concede four goals in the game, as Manchester United remained rooted in 14th place on the log.

Ruben Amorim explained that he wanted Onana to disconnect from the game when asked why he excluded the former La Masia star from the match. However, it only birthed more speculations that Manchester United were ready to push him out.
