In order to play in Manchester United’s FA Cup match against Wigan, Andre Onana has requested that Cameroon postpone their call-up to the Africa Cup of Nations.

Cameroon’s lineup for the Africa Cup of Nations, which takes place next month, includes Onana. Prior to starting their tournament campaign in Guinea on January 15, Cameroon is scheduled to play a friendly match against Zambia in Saudi Arabia on January 9. But the goalie wants to play in United’s FA Cup third-round match against Wigan on January 8, according to ESPN.

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 desire 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.

Cristiаnо Rоnаldо cаn breаk Sаudi Leаgue recоrd tо cаp recоrd-breаking yeаr

аfter а difficult stint аt Mаnchester United, Cristiаnо Rоnаldо is cоntinuing his cоmebаck with аl-Nаssr in Sаudi аrаbiа, where he hаs the pоtentiаl tо smаsh yet аnоther recоrd. With mоre gоаls thаn Kyliаn Mbаppe, the fаmоus fоrwаrd hаs аlreаdy brоken the recоrd fоr mоst gоаls scоred in а cаlendаr yeаr.

With 53 goals in 58 games played in the calendar year, he outscored giants in Europe, such as Kylian Mbappe of PSG, who netted 52 goals in 53 games in 2023. Erling Haaland of Manchester City has scored 50 goals in 60 games, while Harry Kane, who has played for both Tottenham and Bayern Munich over the past 12 months, has scored 52 goals in 57 games.

When foreign goals are taken into account, the 38-year-old does fall behind both Mbappe and Kane. Nevertheless, the accomplishment signifies a turn around for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo, who left Manchester United in January 2023 amid some controversy after only managing one goal in ten games during his second season back at Old Trafford.

The Portuguese icon leads the league in goals scored as of right now, suggesting that his relocation to the Saudi Pro League has revitalized him. His 19 goals in 17 games this season come after a similarly stellar performance in 16 games the previous season.When all of these are combined, the former Real Madrid legend will have scored almost 33 goals in 2023, putting him in a great position to shatter yet another record. If the Al-Nassr striker can surpass Abderrazak Hamdallah’s previous tally of 35 goals, he will be able to break the record for most goals scored in a calendar year.

The Moroccan set the record in the 2018–19 season while playing for Al-Nassr. He is currently a teammate of fellow Los Blancos mainstay Karim Benzema at Al Ittihad. With two goals in his team’s brace against Al Ittihad, Ronaldo seems to be aiming for yet another personal achievement.After scoring two penalties in a commanding 5-2 victory against their rivals, the former Manchester United star tied Omar Al Somah’s record of 33 goals. During the match, the previously mentioned Hamdallah scored twice for Al Ittihad.

Now, on December 30, when his club plays Al-Taawoun, Ronaldo has the opportunity to shatter the record for most goals in a calendar year. It would be his sixth time to win the coveted IFFHS World’s Best Top Goal Scorer title if he manages to score the three goals required to break the previous record.

The player in world football who scores the most goals in a given calendar year is awarded this title, which would continue to be dominated by the former Juventus forward. With his five victories to date, he leads all football players in history.
