The motivation for the Matic attack has not been explained.
He was responding to relatively harmless comments that Onana made about Lyon in the preparation of the game, when he said he respected the French club but believed that United was “much better.”
However, it is remarkable how strongly the former Serbia midfielder defended the man who Onana replaced, David de Gea, when the Spanish made his own series of errors in May 2019, saying: “He is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and will be in the coming years.”
It was nuic using onana as collateral damage to reinforce a point shared by many that United made a mistake and treated one of his best players of recent times when they chose not to renew the Gea’s contract in 2023 and sign the Cameroon International, for £ 47.2 million Inter Milan?
The situation increased when Onana, instead of remaining silent or at least waiting until after the game to answer, ignored the warning tips and replied, and added: “At least I have raised trophies with the best club in the world. Some cannot say the same.”
Matic never won a trophy as a united player.
It was in that context, Onana made a catastrophic mistake for the aim of opening Lyon in the 2-2 draw, then made an error for the equalizer in the time of injury, the negativity for that increased massively by the first inexplicable error.
If that performance was isolated, it would have been quite bad.
But those closer to the former goalkeeper of Ajax and Inter of Milan, O onana’s career, Onana’s career has been marked by a series of great errors.
He has eight errors that lead to goals in all competitions since he joined United, the most for any premier league goalkeeper at that time.
A feeling that Onana was being examined in a way that he had not been previously in his career became evident in his first weeks in United, when he was splitting 50 yards in a friendly preseason against the lens.
Onana had been following the instructions to take a higher initial position in the field when her team had the ball, just for Diogo Dalot to give it without pressure.
The reaction was intense and the goalkeeper was ridiculed in some parts of social networks. Although it was not the fault, his performances became the issue of debate.
He put onana on the back foot from the first moment.
