Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has faced another setback after being omitted from Cameroon’s squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations. The news comes as a disappointment for the 29-year-old, who has struggled to find form this season.
Onana’s 2025-26 campaign has been challenging, with the shot-stopper losing his starting position at Manchester United. His struggles between the posts contributed to his reduced playing time and growing uncertainty about his future at the club.
In September, Onana was sent on a season-long loan to Turkish side Trabzonspor in a bid to regain his confidence and game time. The move was hoped to provide a fresh start after a difficult spell at Old Trafford.
Despite the change of scenery, the Cameroon national team opted to leave him out of their AFCON squad, delivering another blow to a player seeking to rebuild his career. The decision surprised many fans, given Onana’s international experience.
The exclusion adds to a challenging period for the Red Devils’ former number one, highlighting the ongoing struggles both at club and international level. Onana will now need to focus on his loan stint to try and restore his reputation and form.
