**”Andre Onana Chooses AFCON 2023 Over Manchester United Commitments”**

By Daniel Edu

Manchester United’s star goalkeeper, Andre Onana, has made a decisive choice to prioritize his national duty over club commitments. The 27-year-old, who recently joined Manchester United in a £47.2 million deal from Inter Milan, has expressed his intent to play for Cameroon in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Onana aims to defend Cameroon’s goalpost in the tournament scheduled to take place in Ivory Coast from January 13 to February 11. His decision means he will be unavailable for Manchester United’s crucial matches during that period, including fixtures in the Premier League, FA Cup, and potentially the Carabao Cup and Champions League, provided Cameroon advances to the final stages of the tournament.

Initially, there were uncertainties surrounding Onana’s participation in AFCON 2023 due to a previous conflict with head coach Rigobert Song during the 2022 World Cup. Despite his earlier departure from Cameroon’s camp, Onana returned to the team, showcasing his commitment to representing his home country.

With Onana’s choice to play in AFCON, Manchester United faces the challenge of finding suitable alternatives for their goalkeeping position during the tournament.
