Cameroon coach Rigobert Song has denied the suggestion that he has fallen out with Andre Onana after he was dropped for the crucial Africa Cup of Nations win over Gambia last week.
Andre Onana could miss zero Manchester United games despite going to AFCON
08.01.2024 - 19:44 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United may not miss Andre Onana for any first-team matches despite seeing the goalkeeper depart for the Africa Cup of Nations.
United reached an amicable agreement with Cameroon to allow the 27-year-old to join up with his international team-mates after the Red Devils' home clash with Tottenham Hotspur on January 14, enabling him to still feature in his country's first fixture of AFCON against Guinea the following day.
Cameroon will later go head-to-head with Senegal (January 19) and Gambia (January 23) to complete their group stage schedule. The top two sides in each group will progress to the next phase of the competition, meanwhile, a further four places are up for grabs for the highest-ranked teams who finish third.
Erik ten Hag will of course be keeping a close eye on how Onana fares at the tournament as he is forced to await the return of his first-choice shot-stopper. There is the possibility the ex-Inter star may not miss any United matches, however.

Should Cameroon exit AFCON in the group stages, Onana would return in plenty of time for United's next game after Tottenham: an away trip to Wolves on February 1. Indeed, Ten Hag's side are without a game for a two-week period due to the Premier League winter break and not being involved in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
The only match Onana may potentially miss is an FA Cup third-round replay with Wigan Athletic, which would be played at some point next week if United are held against their League One opponents this evening.
