Calamity Keeper

Andre Onana, the goalkeeper for Manchester United, is reportedly considering pulling out of the upcoming African Cup of Nations in order to protect his position as the team's number one goalkeeper.

Fears of Losing Starting Spot

The 27-year-old Onana is feeling threatened by the presence of Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayinider, who joined Manchester United over the summer. Onana believes that participating in the AFCON tournament could jeopardize his spot in the long term.

Surprising Return to International Football

Onana surprised United boss Erik Ten Hag by deciding to return to international football this season, after retiring and leaving Cameroon's World Cup camp a year ago. Despite their previous differences, Onana has since reconciled with coach Rigobert Song and has made three appearances to help Cameroon qualify for the AFCON Finals.

Disastrous Display in Istanbul

Onana's club position is already under threat following a disastrous performance in Istanbul, where he was at fault for two goals in Manchester United's 3-3 draw with Galatasaray. This has raised concerns about his form and whether he can be relied upon as the team's goalkeeper.

Altay Bayinider Waiting for His Chance

Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag has made it clear that Altay Bayinider will have a chance to prove himself soon. Ten Hag expressed his satisfaction with the goalkeeping group and praised Bayinider's progress, hinting that he may get an opportunity to replace Onana if he continues to perform well.

Champions League Qualification Hanging by a Thread

Manchester United's hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League are in jeopardy after their draw with Galatasaray. They now need to win their final Group A game against Bayern Munich and hope for a draw between Galatasaray and Copenhagen in order to advance.

Onana's Underwhelming Performance

Onana's erratic form has contributed to Manchester United's struggles in the Champions League. The team brought him in for his distribution skills, but he has not been able to match the goalkeeping abilities of his predecessor, David De Gea.
