The last line of defense for the Manchester club didn't hesitate to respond sharply to the Lyon midfielder.

I will never disrespect another club. We know tomorrow will be a tough match against a strong opponent. We are focused on preparing a performance to make our fans proud. At least, I have lifted trophies with the biggest club in the world. Some cannot say the same.

A rather muscular reply from André Onana to the provocations of Nemanja Matic, who had called him one of the worst goalkeepers in Man United's history.

André Onana's season in numbers

In 42 matches with the Red Devils, the Cameroonian goalkeeper participated in 42 matches across all competitions, conceding 45 goals and keeping only 10 clean sheets.
