Goalkeeper Andre Onana’s exit from Manchester United to the Africa Cup of Nations has taken another twist after the Cameroon goalkeeper’s private jet was diverted due to fog and he missed the opening group game against Guinea.

Onana played in United’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham at Old Trafford on Sunday and then immediately left for Liverpool John Lennon Airport to catch a late evening flight to Ivory Coast.

However, the foggy conditions meant he was unable to land in Yamoussoukro – where Cameroon were kicking off their Group C campaign on Monday – and had to divert to Abidjan.

The 27-year-old was then driven the final 150 miles of his 5,000-mile journey to the Stade Charles Konan Banny, arriving three hours before the 5pm kick-off.

Onana already knew that Fabrice Ondoa would be starting in goal against Guinea, but Devis Epassy and Simon Ngapandouetnbu were named as the two substitute goalkeepers on the Cameroon bench for the 1-1 draw.

 

Onana Feud with Etoo

Onana could miss up to four games for United if Rigobert Song’s side go all the way to the final on February 11 – or none if they go out at the group stage.

The former Ajax keeper has reported for duty despite concerns that his feud with Cameroon football federation president Samuel Eto’o, that led to Onana’s expulsion from his country’s World Cup camp in Qatar 14 months ago, could re-ignite in Ivory Coast.

Fans Reactions

“He should be given time and chance to lay.He did well by making it sure  he shows up despite the busy London duty. He is yet to have a  match and a lot is happening.’’ A fan commented

“Etoo and song should give Onana respect he deserve   conflict will not win them any match.’’ Another fan said.
