Onana mocks Matic

The Cameroonian goalkeeper clashed with Nemanja Matic ahead of their crucial Europa League quarter-final match.

Onana criticized Matic for not winning any titles with MU.

During the press conference before the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final against Man Utd, a reporter asked Matic a question and mentioned Onana's statement that MU was stronger than Lyon.

The former Manchester United midfielder immediately retorted: "Did Onana really say that? When you're the worst goalkeeper in Manchester United history, you should be careful what you say. I would respect Edwin Van der Sar, Peter Schmeichel, or David De Gea when they speak out, but not Onana."

On his personal page, Onana also posted a sarcastic comment about Matic: "At least I won a title with MU, the greatest club. Some others didn't. Besides, I don't look down on any club. Tomorrow's match will be very difficult. We are focused on making the fans proud."

The title Onana is referring to is the 2023/24 FA Cup victory, when he and his teammates defeated Manchester City in the final at Wembley. Meanwhile, Matic has spent five seasons at Manchester United, playing nearly 200 games, but has yet to win a trophy. In 2021, Matic and his teammates reached the Europa League final but lost to Villarreal on penalties.

During the press conference, Matic also made some noteworthy statements about Manchester United. The Serbian midfielder suggested that at Chelsea, every decision is geared towards winning titles, while Manchester United prioritizes economic gain . He argued that this is why the "Red Devils" have gone through a long period without winning any trophies.

The first leg of the Europa League quarter-final between Lyon and Manchester United will take place at 2:00 AM on April 11th. The Europa League is the last competition where the "Red Devils" can salvage their disastrous season and secure a place in next season's Champions League.
