‘When you are one of the worst goalkeepers in Man United history’ – Nemanja Matic responds to Andre Onana’s Lyon claims | OneFootball

Former Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic (36) hit back at Red Devils goalkeeper André Onana (29) in today’s pre-match press conference ahead of Thursday’s UEFA Europa League clash between OL and United. The Cameroonian goalkeeper raised eyebrows this week after claiming that Manchester United are “way better” than Lyon.“When you are one of the worst goalkeepers in Man United history, you need to take care what you’re talking about,” said the Serbian international on Wednesday afternoon. “If it was Van der Sar, Schmeichel, or De Gea saying that, ok… but Onana? He’s one of the worst statistically speaking . He should focus on his own performances before speaking about others. We will see.” The Red Devils and Les Gones face-off tomorrow evening in first leg of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League (21:00 CET). Matic will certainly start in the game against the side that he represented from 2017 to 2022. The Serb made 128 appearances for the English side, before moving to José Mourinho’s Roma side in 2022. Matic then joined Lyon in 2024 after a short stint at fellow Ligue 1 side Stade Rennais. GFFN | George Boxall
