Man Utd could lose their starting goalkeeper for up to eight matches during the African Cup of Nations
Manchester United will lose Andre Onana to the Africa Cup of Nations in January if Cameroon qualify for the tournament next week after the goalkeeper confirmed he was coming out of international retirement.
Onana, 27, quit Cameroon last December in the wake of a reported falling out with coach Rigobert Song during the World Cup in Qatar.
But despite claiming he had been “confronted with trials marked by injustice and manipulation,” Onana has agreed to rejoin the Cameroon squad, which presents yet another headache for United manager Erik ten Hag.
Cameroon will qualify for the African Nations if they beat Burundi in a winner-takes-all showdown in Garoua next Tuesday. With the tournament due to kick off in Ivory Coast on January 13, United could be without their first choice goalkeeper for between five and eight matches should Cameroon reach the final on February 11.
