Andre Onana of Manchester United’s goalkeeping team celebrated his comeback from international retirement with Cameroon by keeping a clean sheet during a 3-0 victory against Burundi in the African Cup of Nations qualification stages.
Just a week ago, it was revealed that Onana, who had a falling-out with coach Rigobert Song at the Qatar 2022 World Cup, will play again for Cameroon.
The 27-year-old’s choice surprised several people, and it has caused some of us to worry that he would miss some of the season because of the AFCON.
Onana earned his 35th senior cap and 13th clean sheet on the international scene by playing the entire game on Tuesday in Garoua.The three goals were scored by Besiktas striker Vincent Aboubakar, Rennes center-back Christopher Wood, and Brentford attacker Bryan Mbuemo.With this outcome, Cameroon secured a spot in the AFCON for the next year. Therefore, if United advances to the competition’s latter rounds, they may be without their new first-choice goalkeeper for at least four games in the new year.Between January 13 and February 11, the Ivory Coast will host the AFCON.United is scheduled to play in the Premier League against Tottenham, Wolves, West Ham, and Aston Villa between those days. In addition, two FA Cup games have been scheduled for the weekends of January 6-7 and January 27-28.When it’s our first-choice goalie, it’s far from ideal.
