Lyon's Serbia international midfielder Nemanja Matić who once played for Manchester United, could not help but openly engage in a furious verbal spat with Manchester United's Cameroon international goalkeeper André Onana, who said that "Lyon is a shitty club", at the press conference before the UEFA Europa League match against his former club this midweek.

Matić criticized at the press conference that if this sentence was said by Peter Schmeichel, Edwin Van der Sar or David De Gea, he could accept it and seriously reflect on his performances, but data statistics has shown that Onana is the worst goalkeeper in Manchester United's history. The latter should seriously look at his own problems before considering whether to say such arrogant words.

Nemanja Matić angrily said: "I don't understand where he got the confidence to say such a bold statement so publicly, because when you want to say such a big statement, you must make sure that you have what it takes to say such things."

"Who is the person who said such a bold statement? Onana, right?! Humph! I respect everyone very much. Since he dares to say this, I will give a response that everyone wants to know."

"When data have clearly shown that you are statistically the worst goalkeeper in the Manchester United club history, you must be careful about what you say."

"If this sentence was said by David De Gea, Peter Schmeichel or Edwin Van der Sar, I would first look at myself and ask myself if I should have performed better. ”

“However, when data statistics had shown that you are the worst goalkeeper in Manchester United's modern history, he should first prove that he has the ability to say such things, but in any case, let's wait and see, and see the truth on the pitch. ”

After Matić's explosive response was made public, Onana also personally took the lead again, posting a message through his personal official social media account to try to calm the storm. However, contrary to his wishes, the storm became more out of control due to what he wrote in the article.

Onana wrote: "I will never disrespect other clubs. We know tomorrow's game will be difficult and the opponent is strong. We are focused on preparing a performance that will make the fans proud. At least I lifted the trophy with the greatest club in the world (referring to the Carabao Cup and English FA Cup which he had won in the past two seasons). Some people can't say that."

After Onana's tweet was posted, the Internet unexpectedly attracted fans of Chelsea, another former club which Matić has played for, and even fans of Monaco which criticized his remarks again.

Chelsea fans unanimously criticized: "He probably doesn't know that Matić also played for Manchester United. But before that, the Serbian player had already won the Premier League twice, the FA Cup twice and the League Cup once with the Blues. At his peak, he was one of the best defensive midfielders in European football. He even won numerous trophies at Benfica, but he has never been so arrogant. Why does Onana speak so arrogantly? The most important thing is that he has not been banned for taking banned substances like him."

Monaco fans sarcastically said: "The team's Japan international winger Takumi Minamino previously won almost all the trophies of the country's domestic competitions when he played for Red Bull Salzburg and Liverpool. Then can't he say more arrogant and arrogant remarks than Onana?!"

A few days ago, after the Manchester Derby between Manchester United and Manchester City, Simon Peach, the PA Media's resident renowned English Manchester United team correspondent, asked Onana in the player tunnel after the game what he thought about the game against Lyon in this midweek.

Unexpectedly, André Onana suddenly spoke out unprovoked that: "Listen, they are undoubtedly a great team. Many people in our team know some of their players, but I don't think we need to pay special attention to them."

"The focus of this game should be on us. Everyone should discuss what we will do. As far as I am concerned, we are a club that is several times stronger than them. Lyon is a rotten club like shit. We just need to go there to show our strong strength."

"We will deal with this game like a winner. As long as we stay focus, stay alert, stay united, follow the tactical plan of the game, and don't let them have breathing space, we will definitely win this game. Of course, all of us know that all this is not easy, but I still think that we Manchester United is a club several times better than them."

Subsequently, Peach admitted that he did not expect Onana to be so arrogant, so he was also surprised by the remarks of the former Barcelona, Ajax and Inter Milan goalkeeper.
