On Thursday, it will be a blast between Lyon and Manchester United. We have almost forgotten how opponents psyched each other down before the game, everything goes so nicely and neatly at today’s press conferences (if Jose Mourinho is not involved). On Wednesday, Nemanja Matic showed that he runs “old school” in front of the microphone. The former Manchester United player pointed to Andre Onana and called the United goalkeeper the worst in history.
Matic wore the United shirt from 2017-2022, since 2024 the 36-year-old has played for Lyon. At Wednesday’s press conference, Matic was asked about Onana’s statement that Manchester United on paper are better than Lyon. After a few seconds of reflection, the answer came – with pressure:
“I respect everyone. But when you say that, you get an answer. If you are one of the worst goalkeepers in Manchester United history, you should be careful what you say. If David De Gea, Peter Schmeichel or Edwin van der Sar said that, I would think about it,” Matic fires.
“But if you’re one of the statistically worst goalkeepers in Manchester United’s modern history, then he has to show something before he speaks. We’ll see, it comes from Matic.
ouch.
