Leaving Manchester United, Andre Onana now faces a series of difficulties when attending AFCON 2024 with Cameroon.
Andre Onana faced a lot of pressure for showing disrespect to the Cameroon national team. He joined forces later than the players attending AFCON 2024 because he was busy participating in Manchester United’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur. Therefore, the former Inter Milan star missed the first match of the 2024 AFCON group stage.
Starting against Senegal in the second round, the star born in 1996 caused disappointment because he conceded 3 times. Statistics also confirm that rookie Man Utd did not make any save attempts.
Things are more difficult for Cameroon’s number 24 in Ivory Coast.
The ridicule aimed at Onana did not stop after Cameroon’s third round in the group stage. Accordingly, Onana sat on the bench for the entire match against Gambia.
What’s interesting is that Fabrice Ondoa, Onana’s cousin, won the starting spot. Just 10 minutes into the match against Gambia, Ondoa successfully made a save attempt. That achievement was better than Onana’s 90 minutes of play against Cameroon.
Onana’s sadness increased because on the day without him, coach Rigobert Song’s team won a dramatic 3-2 victory.
That comeback helped Cameroon pass the group stage with 4 points after 3 matches.
The Indomitable Lions continue their AFCON 2024 journey in the context of Onana facing great pressure in the national team.
The former Ajax player is likely to have to serve as a substitute for his cousin in the next match.
From Man Utd to Cameroon, the goalkeeper born in 1996 is going through a difficult period.
