Ruben Amorim defends Andre Onana comments - after Nemanja Matic branded goalkeeper 'one of the worst in Man United's history'

Ruben Amorim has tried to defuse Andre Onana’s public row with Nemanja Matic by claiming the Manchester United’s goalkeeper’s comments about Lyon have been taken out of context.

Matic branded Onana ‘one of the worst goalkeepers in Manchester United history’ after the Cameroon international said at the weekend that Amorim’s side are ‘way better’ than Lyon.

He also fired back at former United midfielder Matic by pointing that he has won a trophy at Old Trafford unlike the Serbian.

United’s head coach confirmed that Onana will start Thursday night’s Europa League quarter-final between the two clubs at the Groupama Stadium and tried to mediate between the goalkeeper and Amorim’s former Benfica teammate Matic.
