Nemanja Matic hit back on Andre Onana's comments about Lyon by calling him “one of the worst keepers” in the history of Manchester United.
Onana claimed that United was “much better” than Lyon before the Europa League Quarter-Final First-stage on Thursday in France.
Lyon midfielder Matic, who spent five years at Old Trafford, was asked about Onana's words at his press conference for the game on Wednesday and his answer was cut.
“If you are one of the worst keepers in the history of Manchester United, you have to take care of what you are talking about,” Matic said.
“If David de Gea, Peter Schmeichel or Edwin van der Sar said I would ask myself, but if you are statistically one of the worst keepers in the modern history of Manchester United, he must show that before he says it.”
What did Onana say about Lyon?
Onana was in a self -assured mood when he spoke with the press after he had held his ninth Premier League Schone Laeken of the season in the Drab Derrby Draw with Manchester City.
Asked for Lyon prior to the quarter -final first leg on Thursday, he said: “It's a very good team. We know some of them, but I don't think we should concentrate on them. It's more about us, what we are going to do.
“I think we are better than she, we just have to go there and show who we are. If we go there with a winning mentality and we are focused, remain compact and together and we will follow the game plan that we will win the game.
“Of course it will not be easy, but I think we are much better than they do. We all know the importance of this game, we are going there with the winning mentality, it is not our best season, but we still have something to win and we will go for it.”
