Manchester United fans are applauding goalkeeper Andre Onana for agreeing to play in a crucial Premier League match against Tottenham, just one day before Cameroon's first AFCON fixture. The club had initially planned to negotiate Onana's departure for the tournament due to their disappointing start to the season. However, United has now secured permission to keep Onana for the Tottenham game, with the plan for him to leave immediately after and fly to Cameroon's camp. United supporters have praised Onana's dedication to the team, with many commending his commitment.

Special Agreement Allows Onana to Play Against Tottenham

United recently reached a special agreement to retain Andre Onana for their FA Cup third round tie at Wigan Athletic on January 8. However, the Daily Mail has reported that Onana will now also play in the crucial Premier League clash against Tottenham on January 14. After the game, Onana will take a seven-hour flight to join Cameroon's camp before their match with Guinea the following afternoon.

Fans Applaud Onana's Devotion to the Club

Manchester United supporters have expressed their admiration for Andre Onana's commitment to the team. Many fans have praised his dedication and loyalty, applauding his decision to play in the important match against Tottenham despite the upcoming AFCON tournament. On social media, fans have described Onana's commitment as "crazy," "good to see," and "fair play."

Onana's Previous Absence and Recall to Cameroon Squad

There was an earlier understanding that Andre Onana would not feature for Cameroon at AFCON due to a falling out with manager Rigobert Song during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. However, Onana was later recalled for the September internationals after his impressive performances during Inter Milan's run to the Champions League final last season. If Cameroon fails to qualify from the group stages, Onana could potentially return to Old Trafford without missing out on game time.
