- Listen now: everything is launched! Should Phil Foden miss the club World Cup this summer to rest?
Andre Onana was marked “one of the worst goalkeepers of Manchester United History” by former Devil Nemanja Matic.
MATIC, who left Old Trafford in 2022, will be face to face with Onana Thursday evening with her current Lyon club in the quarterfinals of the Europa League.
In the accumulation of confrontation, Onana suggested that Lyon is a “very good team” but that “I think we are better than them”.
And this comment fell Matic, 36, who retaliated: “To say that, you must have a blanket to say something like that. Onana, I respect everyone, but to say that, so you have to give an answer.
“If you are one of the worst goalkeepers in Man United’s story, you have to take care of what you are talking about.
“If David de Gea, or Peter Schmeichel, or (Edwin) van der Sar said that, then I will question myself.

Matic was unleashed after Onana suggested that United is “better than” his new Lyon club
“But if you are one of the worst statistically guards of Modern History of Man United, he must show that he (they are better) before saying.”
The couple has never played together, but they come in the midst of a meticulous examination of Onana following a series of large -scale errors since they joined United in 2023.
United is the 13th in the Premier League and has been on the right track for its worst-Eevr since the change of the elite brand in 1992.
Lyon, meanwhile, is fifth at Ligue 1 and could easily finish as high as second, although there have been concerns about their financial situation.
Previewing the link against Lyon, Onana said: “It’s a very good team. We know some, but I don’t think we have to focus on them. It’s more for us, what we are going to do.
“I think we are better than them, we have to go and show who we are. If we go with a winning mentality and we are concentrated, let’s stay compact and together and we follow the match plan, we will win the match.
“Of course, it will not be easy, but I think we are much better than them. We all know the importance of this game, we will go to it with the winning mentality, this is not our best season but we still have something to win and we will go there.
In all honesty towards Onana, most of the foreigners would make a club of the favorites of the status of United in Lyon, but his comments clearly did not go well.
Matic spent five seasons at Old Trafford, accumulating 189 appearances, although he is unable to rely on the two Premier League titles, the FA Cup, and the Carabao Cup he won with Chelsea.
Onana, on the other hand, has won the two national cuts so far and could add the Europa League to this transport.
