Man Utd star singled out for making 'under-12 mistakes' as Ruben Amorim spared

Chris Sutton has hammered Andre Onana for making an 'under-12s mistake' in their loss at Wolves and absolved Ruben Amorim of any blame. The Manchester United boss saw his side lose yet again as they were undone on Boxing Day at Molineux. The opening goal of the game came direct from a corner as Matheus Cunha was able to loop the ball straight over Onana, who got himself stuck in between several Wolves defenders.
Throughout his time in England the Cameroonian goalkeeper has copped criticism. Signed by Erik ten Hag, early in his spell he was extremely error-prone and, despite being more the capable with the ball at his feet, he continues to concede poor goals that undermine his side's efforts.
United have lost five of Amorim's first 10 games in charge and are languishing in 14th in the Premier League, just eight points above the bottom three. Newcastle are their next assignment with Sutton backing the Magpies to win on the road and concedes Amorim's task is not being helped by poor displays from his goalkeeper.
He told the BBC : "I said before Christmas that I thought Newcastle would hit their stride and they have done that. The way they are playing, they should win at Old Trafford and make it four league wins in a row. Manchester United's form is the exact opposite.
"I am not concerned about Amorim getting the sack but it does not help when your goalkeeper keeps on conceding goals direct from a corner – that is under-12s stuff. I remember it happening when I was watching my son play when he was about 15 and he got done off a corner.
