Andre Onana’s tough spell in goal has gone from bad to worse.
The Manchester United goalkeeper, already out of favor at Old Trafford, was slammed online after a crucial error in Cameroon’s World Cup qualifier defeat to Cape Verde.
The game’s only goal came early in the second half when Dailon Livramento surged through on a solo run.
With defenders beaten, all eyes turned to Onana. Instead of rushing out, he stayed rooted to his line. Livramento calmly slotted the ball past him, leaving fans and pundits stunned.
Social media was quick to pile on. One user wrote (via @jboy2442), “Onana is truly the worst goalkeeper alive. The goal he just conceded for Cameroon is so bad. He doesn’t come off his line and close the angle.”
Another added (via @Ed_theRed0), “Even a semi-pro keeper will charge at the striker in this situation, this guy just stood there like it was a penalty.”
What happened to the Inter Milan’s Andre Onana?
For a keeper who once starred in a Champions League final with Inter Milan, this was another painful chapter.
Many supporters pointed to a lack of confidence, with one fan remarking, “That dive was utterly reactive and had no intent in it.”
Others mocked his trademark sock-pulling routine after conceding, saying it only added to the frustration.
The 29-year-old’s struggles at Manchester United have already seen him dropped for new arrival Senne Lammens and back-up Altay Bayindir.
Reports suggest a loan move to Trabzonspor is done, with United ready to cut their losses just two years after spending over £47 million to sign him.
Cameroon’s defeat leaves them with work to do in qualifying, while Onana’s future looks even more uncertain. A move to Turkey may offer him a chance to reset, but patience is running thin.
For now, his blunders remain the headline. And as fans joked online, the only thing Onana seems to be keeping out is his own career revival.
