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 asked about Onana's comments from earlier this week that United were "way better" than French club Lyon as the two sides prepare to meet in the Europa League quarter-finals.

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."

In reply to Matic, Onana then posted on social media to deny he was being disrespectful.

"I would never be disrespectful to another club. We know that tomorrow will be a difficult game against a strong opponent," Onana said on X.

"We focus on preparing a performance to make our fans proud.

"At least I've lifted trophies with the greatest club in the world. Some can't say the same."

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.

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

One of the worst keepers I've ever seen. In fact he's a very fortunate man to have made a living out of the game. You look at some players and especially goalkeepers and you can see how they've made it. All I've got for him is that he's athletic and likes to make easy saves look very very difficult.

Absolutely dreadful.

I am surprised he's only classed as making 8 errors (maybe just league that i dont know). I think he has made a lot more. but then again, its only a mistake if classed as one by the stats/experts people

I still can`t get my head around the fact, that someone actually thought it was a good idea to replace De Gea with him :lol:
