Andre Onana, the goalie for Manchester United, has been called up to represent Cameroon at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Long-awaited news about Andre Onana for Manchester United opens up a spot…
After David De Gea’s contract expired in the summer, Erik ten Hag brought Andre Onana to Manchester United, where he has had a mixed start to his career.
There was obvious excitement for the 27-year-old to replace the Spaniard, who had battled in his final months at the club, after he signed from Inter Milan for a meager £43 million in the summer.
The former Ajax goalkeeper’s confidence has been damaged by errors in the Champions League, but he has played well for the Red Devils in the Premier League.Only thirty seconds after United had recovered from behind to tie the game, he produced an important save to keep Aston Villa from scoring a third.
Onana made a call
The 27-year-old goalkeeper may miss up to a month of action after being called up for the Cameroon squad, despite the fact that he was playing at the top level of English football again.
Earlier in the season, there were rumors that Onana was hesitant to leave for an international assignment because of a disagreement he had with Rigobert Song, the manager of his national team. Onana is from Cameroon.
Erik ten Hag will not be happy about this, but they have managed to put their problems behind them, which has allowed Onana to be called up to the first team.
Losing his starting goalie will be another difficult task for the Dutchman, especially in light of the injury problems he has encountered this season.
Onana’s missed games
Onana will be out from the FA Cup’s first round away to Wigan, the Premier League game at home against Tottenham, and potentially another FA Cup round if United advances.
Afterward, he could not be able to play in the Premier League away at Wolves, contingent on Cameroon’s performance in the AFCON.
Bayindir’s opportunity
Altay Bayindir, a Turkish goalkeeper, has been waiting since completing his summer transfer from Fenerbahce to Old Trafford. Now, he will have the opportunity to demonstrate that he is capable of starting games for the Red Devils.
The 25-year-old will be the starting point guard for the Red Devils for at least a month, barring any unforeseen circumstances. He has yet to play a competitive minute for the team.
According to reports, Bayindir has been making an impression in training. Ten Hag needs to give him an opportunity to play in the first squad, or else it will be unclear why the Red Devils signed him in the first place.
