On Thursday, Manchester United will face Lyon in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals. Ahead of the game, players from both teams engaged in a verbal exchange.
Details: Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana claimed that his team is much better than Lyon. However, the French club's midfielder Nemanja Matic, who has a stint at Old Trafford on his resume, was more blunt in his remarks.
Quote: “To say something like that, you need to have the backing for such a statement. I respect everyone, but to speak like that... you need to answer for it. When you're one of the worst goalkeepers in the history of Man United, you need to watch what you say.
If David de Gea, Peter Schmeichel, or Edwin van der Sar had said such a thing, I would question myself. But if you are statistically one of the worst goalkeepers in Manchester United's history, you should prove yourself before speaking. We shall see,” Matic stated at a press conference.
Reminder: Previously, former team midfielder Paul Pogba went bald and fell into depression before his second departure from Manchester United.
