Onana and Matic\u2019s back-and-forth exchange has added a layer of hostility to the upcoming UEFA Europa League match between Lyon and United. Matic\u2019s comments stemmed from Onana\u2019s preview of the game where he claimed United were the better team and need not focus on the French side, but rather pay attention to playing their best football.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I would never be disrespectful to another club. We know that tomorrow will be a difficult game against a strong opponent. We focus on preparing a performance to make our fans proud. At least I\u2019ve lifted trophies with the greatest club in the world. Some can\u2019t say the same,\" read the post by Onana on X.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Matic made 189 appearances for the Red Devils during five years at Old Trafford before leaving on a free transfer, but failed to win any silverware during his time at the club. but won two Premier League trophies during his time at Chelsea.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Serbian holding midfielder pointed out that Onana is \u2018statistically one of the worst goalkeepers in Man United\u2019s modern history\u2019 and he needs to prove himself on the field before making such comments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I don't know, to say that, you need to have cover for something like that. I respect everyone, but to say that, you need to get the answer. If you are one of the worst goalkeepers in Man United history, you need to take care of what you\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"If David de Gea or Peter Schmeichel, (Edwin) Van der Sar said that, then I will question myself. But if you are statistically one of the worst goalkeepers in Man United\u2019s modern history, then he needs to show that before he says it. We will see,\u201d said Matic in the pre-game conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
