The non-national cup is about to start, but the Cameroonian goalkeeper who is playing for Manchester United, Onana insisted on staying in the team and has not yet reported to the national team. Even in the last game of the EFL Cup against the English League team Wigan, he played the whole game as a full selection, which makes the deputy goalkeeper who is also joining the team in the current season, Biondiar, very uninterested, and rumors have been spreading that this 25 year old Turkish international is planning to apply for a transfer.
Onana was supposed to return to the national team after playing the English Premier League match against Nottingham Forest at the end of last month, but Manchester United successfully fought with the Cameroon FA to allow him to return to the national team after playing the English Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur late Sunday night (14th). Due to time constraints, Onana will not be able to play for Cameroon in their first group game against Guinea in the early hours of next Tuesday (16th).
If Cameroon goes out of the group stage, Onana will be able to return to Manchester United on January 24th, which means that Biondia, the deputy goalkeeper, will have to be a spectator again, as he still hasn't played since joining Manchester United last summer, whereas Onana, who often makes mistakes, has been sitting in the starting lineup. Biondia once thought that when Onana left the team to play in the African Cup of Nations, he would have a chance to perform, but the current situation is not optimistic, so he decided to go.
