Former Manchester United and Chelsea midfielder, Nemanja Matic has hit back at Andre Onana’s earlier statement in the week about his current club, Lyon.
Onana, when asked about Lyon ahead of Thursday’s quarter-final first leg, he said: “It’s a very good team. We know some of them but I don’t think we have to focus on them. It’s more about us, what we’re going to do.

“I think we are better than them, we just have to go there and show who we are. If we go there with a winning mentality and we are focused, stay compact and together and we follow the game plan we will be winning the game.
“Of course, it’s not going to be easy, but I think we are way better than them. We all know the importance of this game, we will go there with the winning mentality, it’s not our best season but we still have something to win and we will go for it.”
Matic, when asked at the press conference on Wednesday about Onana’s comment responded by saying; “If you’re one of the worst goalkeepers in Manchester United’s history then you need to take care of what you are talking about.
“If David De Gea, Peter Schmeichel or Edwin van der Sar said that I would question myself but if you are statistically one of the worst goalkeepers in Manchester United’s modern history, he needs to show that before he says it.”
