Europa League: Keep your trap shut’ – Nicol slams Onana over blunders after fight with Matic

Published on April 11, 2025 at 01:58 PM

Liverpool legend: Steve Nicol, has Cameroonian goalkeeper, Andre Onana after his poor display against Lyon in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.

The Manchester United goalkeeper was very poor during his side's 2-2 draw with their Frence opponents in the first leg of the quarter-final tie.

Onana had engaged former Chelsea and Manchester United midfielder, Nemanja Matic in a heated exchange of words before the game.

The Cameroon International first told the press ahead of the game Speaking that Manchester United were ‘a way better team' than their opponents.

The comment angered the Serbian, who hit back at him, calling him “one of the worst keepers” in United's history.

Onana then responded with a jibe of his own on social media, telling the former Premier League star that he(Onana) had at least won trophies with the Red Devils.

Onana made errors that led to both of Lyon's goals in the 2-2 draw on the night and has come under significant criticism.

Speaking on ESPN after the match, Nicol said, “In football you always keep your mouth shut because you never know [what can happen].

“Had things been going great for him, then you can get away with talking trash. But when you’re not at your best, keep your trap shut.

“It just makes it twice as bad now. Nemanja Matic is the only person sniggering right now, while Onana is going back to the hotel wishing he had kept his mouth shut.”;
