Former Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic has labelled Andre Onana “one of the worst goalkeepers” in the club’s history.
The Red Devils, who are struggling in the Premier League, will head to face Olympique Lyon on Thursday in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final.
Onana said after the Manchester derby on Sunday, which finished 0-0, that overcoming Lyon, fifth in Ligue 1, was “not going to be easy, but I think we are way better than them”.
“You know, I respect everyone, but to say that then you need to give the answer,” said the Serbia international, who also had a spell with Chelsea in the Premier League.
“If you are one of the worst goalkeepers in Man United’s history, you need to take care of what you are talking about.
“If David de Gea or Peter Schmeichel or (Edwin) van der Sar said that, then I would question myself. But if you’re one of the statistically worst goalkeepers in Man United’s modern history, then he needs to show that before he says (anything). We will see,” he added.
Despite Manchester United struggles, they are unbeaten in the Europa League.
