After joining Old Trafford for £43 million in the summer, Onana had a difficult beginning to his time at Inter. According to reports, the goalie wants to spend as little time away from the team as possible while he gets used to his new environment.

In December 2022, Onana announced his retirement from international competition following a disagreement with Cameroon manager Rigobert Song during the World Cup in Qatar. In September, he joined the group again.

Even if Onana’s dream comes true, he would miss United’s Premier League matches against Tottenham, Wolves, West Ham and Aston Villa in addition to a possible FA Cup fourth round match if the team advances to the AFCON final on February 11. Cameroon will try to win the AFCON for a sixth time with Onana starting in goal.
