PAUL SCHOLES launched a furious blast at Andre Onana in the wake of the Manchester United star’s spat with Nemanja Matic.

Onana declared “at least I’ve won a trophy”; after Matic branded him the “worst goalkeeper in United’s history.”;

Onana committed howlers for both of Lyon’s goals, including a 95th minute equaliser just moments after Joshua Zirkzee looked to have given United the win.
Matic remained on the bench for the match but is sure to have felt justified over his pre-match comments as a result of Onana’s blunders.
And speaking on TNT Sports, another former United midfielder in the form of iconic playmaker
Speaking at half-time after the keeper had produced a blunder for Lyon’s first goal, Scholes said: “He (Onana) has probably wished he had kept his mouth shut before the game.
“It’s a really bad mistake. It’s a decent ball but I’m not sure what the keeper is trying to do. It’s an awful mistake from him.”;
At full time, Scholes continued his rant against Onana.
He added: “I think Onana was more so at fault for the first, a huge mistake, a little harder but he has to do better than that.
“On the whole it’s the right result, Lyon played the better football and created more opportunities.
“But after scoring so late, United will be disappointed and they are in a good position at home, so they should still be big favourites but they will have to improve.”;
Meanwhile, commentator and former United academy man Robbie Savage also criticised Onana.
Reflecting on the first goal, he said: “It’s a goalkeeper error. It’s a good ball into a great area.
“Is Onana anticipating a touch? Everybody looks onside, it’s a terrible goalkeeping error.
“It bounces just in front of him, he’s got to save that, it’s a poor goalkeeping error.
“He has dived late because he is waiting for someone to get a touch. We can watch it as many times as we like – it’s an error.”;
