Andre Onana Responds to Nemanja Matic’s Comment Before Man United vs Lyon Clash

Manchester United is set to face Lyon in the Europa League quarterfinals.

The match has become even more exciting due to a heated exchange between United goalkeeper Andre Onana and former United midfielder Nemanja Matic, who now plays for Lyon.

What Onana Said:

Onana talked to the media before the match and said:

“We are way better than Lyon.”
“We know this game is important. If we stay focused and follow the plan, we’ll win.”
“It won’t be easy, but we have the quality.”

Matic’s Response:

Nemanja Matic didn’t like Onana’s comments.

He replied:

“I respect everyone, but Onana should be careful.”
“If goalkeepers like Van der Sar, Schmeichel, or De Gea said that, I’d listen. But Onana isn’t at their level.”
“He’s one of the worst goalkeepers in United’s history, so he should watch what he says.”

Onana’s Clap Back:

Onana responded on social media.

He wrote:

“I would never disrespect another club.”
“Tomorrow’s game will be tough, but we are focused.”
“At least I’ve won trophies with the biggest club in the world—some can’t say the same.”
