Manchester United goalkeeper Onana was caught off guard by his decision, and he chose to stay at the club, even forgoing the Cameroon national team's first group game at the Africa Cup of Nations. The decision sparked heated debate, with fans looking forward to his future and a confusing situation for the United goalkeeper.
Although Manchester United has not yet officially confirmed, multiple sources have revealed that 27-year-old Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana will abandon his country's opening match against Guinea-Bissau in the AFTAM Championship of Nations, a decision that has put him in the spotlight.
Onana's option: stay at Manchester United and get out of the way.
Manchester United reached an agreement with the Cameroon Football Federation to allow Onana to play in the FA Cup. After successfully beating Wigan Athletic in the third round of the 2-0 game, Onana was even persuaded by Ten Hag to play in the Premier League against Tottenham. This means he will miss Cameroon's Africa Cup of Nations opener and may not even feature for the entire tournament.
Manchester United's goalkeeper line-up is in turmoil.
The decision came as a huge blow to Manchester United's back-up goalkeeper Altay Baindil. Baindil, who was brought in from Fenerbahce for £4.3 million in the summer window, has yet to make an appearance in an official match. Even against League One sides in the FA Cup, Ten Hag did not opt to use the 25-year-old goalkeeper.
United fans have been surprised by Ten Hag's choice, saying that Baddier has every reason to consider leaving, and that he will not even be able to play against League One sides, raising doubts about his future at United.
Manchester United supporters are skeptical, and the substitute goalkeeper is helpless.
Fans are skeptical about Ten Hag's choice and think they can understand it if Bayndil chooses to leave. One fan said: "Bayndir could have called his agent and told him to arrange for him to leave. He can't even play for Wigan Athletic in League One, so what future does he have at Manchester United?”
United's future is uncertain.
Manchester United will be hoping for a 25 to 30 per cent transfer share in the future, while Onana will want to stay at the Reds for a longer period of time. His decision had a huge impact on the turmoil in Manchester United's goalkeeper line-up, and left fans excited and skeptical about how the Reds will perform in future games. This game, which is about the player's career and the future of the club, is destined to become a big focus in the football circle.
Time was pressing, and Manchester United mediated with the Cameroon Football Federation.
With Cameroon's match less than 24 hours separating Manchester United's game against Tottenham, Onana was unable to make it in time for the game, so he had no choice but to miss the game. He may not even be featured in the upcoming Cameroon matches.
Despite FIFA rules that players are not entitled to play for the club if they refuse to represent their country in major tournaments, Onana is still expected to return without missing a Manchester United game after Cameroon are eliminated from the group stage.
Manchester United prepares, Onana is anxious.
After Manchester United v Tottenham, the next game will be the fourth round of the FA Cup on 27 January. If Onana opts for Cameroon and the team progresses, he will miss Manchester United's Premier League clashes with Wolves, West Ham United and Aston Villa. Onana is worried that his starting place at Manchester United could be affected.
Manchester United starting line-up speculation.
For Manchester United's starting line-up against Forest, ** is as follows: Onana Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Evans, Diogu Darlow, Kobe Meno, Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes, Garnacho, Hojlund, Rashford. And if Cameroon are eliminated in the group stage of the Africa Cup of Nations, Onana will not miss any of Manchester United's games.
Onana and Manchester United's future is uncertain.
Onana first joined Cameroon in 2016 and had a strong performance at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, helping them to a third-place finish. However, his position at Manchester United is not very secure, leading to speculation about his future.
United boss Ten Hag said: "We are still in communication with all the Football Associations, we have good relationships with Amrabat, Majbri and Andre Onana and we are trying to find a solution. ”
