Manchester United will be playing against Lyon FC this mid-week in the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals. But before the game, the things are heated up between United\u2019s goalkeeper Onana and former United player Nemanja Matic who is currently at Lyon. Onana in the recent interview called Lyon as the team easy to play against.<\/p>\n
Manchester United are set to face Lyon in a high-stakes UEFA Europa League quarter-final clash this mid-week, but the build-up to the game has already taken a fiery turn. United goalkeeper Andr\u00e9 Onana has found himself at the center of controversy following his recent remarks about the French side.<\/p>\n
Speaking in a pre-match interview, Onana labeled Lyon as \u201ca team easy to play against,\u201d a comment that didn\u2019t sit well with Lyon midfielder Nemanja Matic \u2014 a former Manchester United player himself. Matic fired back sharply, saying, \u201cWhen you\u2019re one of the worst goalkeepers in Manchester United\u2019s history, you need to take care of what you\u2019re talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n
The exchange has added extra spice to what was already a thrilling European tie on paper. Matic, known for his no-nonsense demeanor, clearly took Onana\u2019s comments personally, and the veteran Serbian will be looking to make a statement on the pitch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
