Nemanja Matic appears to make another Andre Onana dig following touching gesture from Manchester United stars

Nemanja Matic appeared to take aim at Andre Onana on social media after Lyon held Manchester United in the Europa League. The pair became embroiled in a war of words ahead of the first leg of the European quarter-final clash, which ultimately saw their two sides draw 2-2 in France. GettyOnana was the subject of fans’ abuse throughout the tie with Lyon after his pre-match comments[/caption] United’s Onana found himself in hot water before the tie after he claimed his side were favourites, only for Matic to respond angrily, labelling him ‘one of the worst goalkeepers in Manchester United‘s history’. The glovesman later hit back by poking fun at his opponent for failing to win a trophy during his five seasons at Old Trafford. But Onana’s words came back to haunt him on the pitch, as he was at fault for both Lyon goals, including their last minute equaliser. After letting Thiago Almada’s cross drift all the way into his own net for the French side’s opener, he then spilled a shot in the final minute of stoppage-time for Rayan Cherki to pounce on and level the match after earlier United goals from Lenny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee. And it appears Matic has now rubbed salt in the Cameroonian’s wounds with his social media activity in the game’s aftermath. The Serbian, who played 189 games for the Red Devils between 2017 and 2022, took to Instagram to reveal he’d been gifted shirts from several members of the United squad. Posting on his stories, he showcased the collection he had gathered from former teammates, which included jerseys from Amad Diallo, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw. But it was the presence of substitute goalkeeper Tom Heaton which has raised eyebrows, with his son Filip pictured posing alongside the green shirt of Onana’s understudy with a double thumbs-up. Matic then seemed to boast his continued popularity at United, uploading a picture of himself with several of the club’s staff in the dressing room after the match. Alongside this, he wrote the caption: “Nice to see my brothers again.” Two-time Premier League winner Nemanja Matic had responded to Onana’s pre-match fighting talk earlier in the weekGetty Credit: Instagram: @nemanjamaticThe 36-year-old was pictured smiling alongside a number of the Red Devils’ staff[/caption] Credit: Instagram: @nemanjamaticHe also gathered an impressive collection of shirt’s from his former teammates[/caption] Despite not getting on to the pitch in the match, Matic will be thrilled with the result as Lyon head into the second leg on level terms. Following their early opener, the Ligue 1 side fell behind after Yoro equalised on the stroke of half-time, before Zirkzee headed United in front on 88 minutes. But Onana’s late error leaves the tie evenly poised ahead of next week’s return leg at Old Trafford, with his latest mishap meaning he has now made nine errors leading to goals since the start of last season. This is more than any Premier League player in all competitions, with talkSPORT’s Troy Deeney blasting him for his recent behaviour. He said: “The football Gods have told you, ‘stay humble, stay in your place’. “Your goalkeeper time and time again is letting you down. That is not the sign of a good goalkeeper. Onana pushed Corentin Tolisso’s shot straight to Rayan Cherki, who tucked away the rebound “With these type of comments you need to be in a good vein of form. When you see the two goals, it’s amateur hour.” Despite widespread criticism aimed at the 29-year-old, United boss Ruben Amorim defended Onana after the match. When asked what he would say to his goalkeeper, the Portuguese coach said: “Nothing.” He added: “That can happen with any player. There’s nothing I can say to Andre in this moment that will help. “The most important thing is to be natural and then, when the time comes, I will choose the best XI to play. But I’m really confident in Andre. “It can happen, if you play football, you play a lot of games, you can make mistakes. If you look at the season, I make more mistakes than them during these last games and these last months.”
