Immediately after the draw with Tottenham in the Premier League, Man United goalkeeper Andre Onana flew to Ivory Coast but encountered problems.
The Old Trafford team has worked with the Cameroon Football Federation to keep Andre Onana until the end of the match against Tottenham, after which the goalkeeper will move to Ivory Coast – the venue for the 2023 CAN Cup, when the Cameroon team plays against Guinea. . However, despite planning in advance and traveling by special plane, Andre Onana was still late and missed the match.
The former Inter Milan goalkeeper started arriving at the airport at 6:30 pm on Sunday, while Cameroon’s first match took place at 5:00 pm on Monday. Andre Onana’s flight did not go as planned when it encountered problems due to bad weather. This player had to land in Abidjan instead of Yamoussoukro, where his teammates were preparing to face Guinea at Charles Konan Banny Stadium.
Onana was stuck in Abidjan because of dense fog, and had to travel by car a distance of… 240km to the stadium. Of course, he couldn’t attend the match in time and the Cameroon team chose goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa to start. Just 10 minutes after the match started, this goalkeeper playing in the French third division had to go into the net to pick up the ball.
In the end, the match ended with a draw of 1-1. In the next match, Cameroon will face Senegal and this will be the time when Andre Onana will appear. Meanwhile, coach Erik ten Hag will have to put his trust in No. 2 goalkeeper Altay Bayindir to guard Man United’s goal.
