MATIC SUBSIDE RESPONSE PROBLEMS IN ONANA
Matic’s response was brutal with the former united midfielder saying: “When you say you have to have a blanket [proof] For something like that.
“I respect everyone but to say that, you have to give an answer.
“If you are one of the worst goalkeepers in Man United’s story, you need to take care of what you are taking.
“If David de Gea or Peter Schmeichel or [Edwin] Van der sar said that I would question myself, but if you are one of the worst statistical guards [anything]. “”
The quotes immediately made the headlines and Onana took a short time to answer. Position on X Before the flight of United in France this afternoon, Cameroonian wrote: “I would never be disrespectful towards another club. We know that tomorrow will be a difficult game against a strong opponent. We focus on preparing a performance to make our fans proud.”

Matic failed to win a trophy in United
Matic made nearly 200 appearances for United in a five -year spell that ended in 2022 but failed to win a trophy, which prompted Onana to add: “At least, I raised trophies with the biggest club in the world. Some can not say the same.”
Onana won the FA Cup with United in 2024 after her signing of 43.8 million pounds sterling in Ajax 12 months earlier.
Cameroonian failed to convince to Old Trafford and was guilty of several high -level errors.
Nevertheless, he was in an optimistic mood when he spoke to journalists after the dull Sunday draw with Manchester City.
What does Onana said?
“We all know the importance of this game, so we will go with a winning mentality,” said Onana.
“It’s not our best season, but we still have something big to win, so we are going.
“It’s a very good team; We know some, but I don’t think we have to focus on them. It’s more about us, what we are going to do. “
He added: “I think we are better than them, we have to go and show who we are.
“If we go with a winning mentality and we are concentrated, we remain compact together and we follow the match plan, we will win the match.
“Of course, it will not be easy, but I think we are much better than them.”
