Manchester United and Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana makes a controversial gaffe at the African Cup of Nations, leading fans to claim that he was “born to concede goals.”
Ismaila Sarr scored after Onana was “born to concede goals” because he landed a puncҺ too soon and was helpless to save the goal.
The underappreciated Manchester United number one has had a rough go of it recently, despite his best efforts to perform at a national and club level.
Last Sunday, Onana, who is 27 years old, hurried to the airport following his performance in United’s 2-2 home tie with Tottenham.
His private plane was delayed due to terrible weather, so he couldn’t make it to Cameroon’s 1-1 draw with Guinea in Monday’s opening match of the Africa Cup of Nations.
On top of that, United’s summer acquisition had a much worse night on Friday.In the first 16 minutes of the match against Senegal, he was only able to jab the ball away, which allowed Sarr to spin and shoot past a packed penalty area.
“Complete definition of addiction to conceding goals.” despite the fact that Onana’s vision of the shot was partially blocked.
Someone else commented: “Onana has just let a goal in…some things never change.”
Many criticized Sarr, even going so far as to call the goalkeeper a “mannequin” for appearing to have his feet caught in the air as he turned to shoot.Questions along these lines were also voiced: “Does Onana dive for anything?” Furthermore, “Not like Onana not to move….”
Many United supporters question the worth of his £47 million summer transfer, especially as the Red Devils are currently seventh in the Premier League with 29 goals conceded in 21 games.
A person said: “I had enough of Onana in the last 10 games, trutҺ be told we made a mistake of a signing.”
One of the many who stand by the former Inter Milan great, though, claims: “It’s not his fault – it’s the defenders.”
After two AFCON group games, Cameroon only managed a single point. A fan made the joke: “Onana will catch a quick flight back to England.”
On 71 minutes, Senegal’s advantage was extended by Habib Diallo, who had received a precise cross from Marseille winger Sarr.
Cameroon were re-engaged after Jean-Charles Castelletto’s header, but they squandered two golden opportunities to level the score.
However, former Liverpool star Idrissa Gueye raced clear to set up
