'You need to shut up!' - Man Utd legend scolds Andre Onana after much-maligned goalkeeper's war of words with Lyon star Nemanja Matic

<p>Tensions flared ahead of United's Europa League quarter-final first leg against Lyon when former Red Devils star Matic, who now plays for the French side, delivered a scathing assessment of Onana’s time at Old Trafford, calling him <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/nemanja-matic-calls-andre-onana-one-of-worst-goalkeepers-man-utd-history-brutal-response-to-claim-red-devils-way-better-lyon/bltbdf272d2837adc77" target="_blank">“one of the worst goalkeepers”</a> in the club’s history. Matic's comments came in response to Onana claiming that United were "way better" than Lyon.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Onana didn’t hold back in his response, claiming he had <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/andre-onana-escalates-war-of-words-nemanja-matic-worst-goalkeeper-man-utd-history-jibe-europa-league/blt51a1a8055d565db3#cs0dd43d683a14d466" target="_blank">lifted more trophies at United</a> than the Serbian midfielder ever did, a sharp jab that seemed to set the tone for the night. However, things quickly unravelled for the goalkeeper, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/andre-onana-drops-howler-prove-nemanja-matic-right-man-utd-goalkeeper-worst-in-history-europa-league-clash-lyon/blt64bd912463f1b937#cs2ccb05415fa9b54b" target="_blank">who made a glaring mistake </a>from Thiago Almada’s first-half free-kick, gifting Lyon the lead in the 25th minute. Another howler late in the second half allowed the hosts to claim a 2-2 draw in stoppage time.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In an interview with <a href="https://www.casinohawks.com/" target="_blank"><em>CasinoHawks</em></a>, United legend Sheringham didn’t mince words while hitting out at Onana and said: "With Andre Onana, I’m all for the passion but it's not about what's happened in the past and it's not about saying what you’re going to do, it's all about results and performances on the pitch. You need to shut up at times and just button your lip and just hold your tongue if you can. But I fully understand the pressure these people are under."</p>

WHAT SHERINGHAM SAID

<p>United ended upgoing through to the Europa League semi-finals, but Onana conceded another four goals in their thrilling 5-4 win over Lyon in the second leg. Despite his shaky spell in Manchester, Onana continues to draw interest from abroad. Reports suggest that clubs in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/revealed-andre-onana-stance-man-utd-exit-transfer-goalkeeper-fight-future/blt86e4207499b8db9f#cs787c05c092c8e3ff" target="_blank">Saudi Pro League remain eager to sign the 28-year-old</a>. Initial inquiries have been made, and sources believe teams in the Gulf region would not hesitate to match his current wage, which is speculated to be around £200,000 per week.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Onana won’t have to wait long for a chance to respond to the criticism as United face Spanish side Athletic Club in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on May 1, with the Cameroonian shot-stopper expected to retain his place between the posts. The clash offers a critical opportunity for redemption, particularly with silverware and a Champions League spot for next season still on the line.</p>
