Onana one of worst Man Utd goalkeepers ever – Matic

Former Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic has labelled Andre Onana as “one of the worst goalkeepers in the club’s history”

Serbian Matic, 36, was responding to Onana’s comments about United being “way better” than French club Lyon as the two sides prepare to meet in the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday.

Onana then posted on social media, denying he was being disrespectful.

Speaking at Wednesday’s news conference Matic, who played for United from 2017-2022, said: “You know, I respect everyone but to say that then you need to give the answer.

“If you are one of the worst goalkeepers in Man United’s history, you need to take care what you’re talking about.

“If it was [Edwin] Van der Sar, [Peter] Schmeichel or [David] De Gea saying that, then I would question myself. But you need to have cover to say something like that.”

The Europa League is the final opportunity for Ruben Amorim’s side – currently 13th in the Premier League – to save a disappointing season.

Matic made 128 appearances for the Red Devils and joined Ligue 1 side Lyon in 2024 after spells at Rennes and Roma. He won the Premier League twice, plus the FA Cup and EFL Cup in a four-year spell at Chelsea.

Onana signed for £47.2m from Inter Milan in 2023 and has won the FA Cup at Old Trafford, keeping 23 clean sheets in 93 appearances.
