Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana finds himself under the fan’s spotlight once again, with supporters ridiculing his performance after a perceived error in Senegal’s 3-1 victory over Cameroon at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The 27-year-old, labeled by some as “born to concede goals,” miss-timed a punch, allowing Ismaila Sarr to capitalize on the loose ball and find the net.

Onana’s recent struggles continued, with fans expressing doubt about the value of his £47 million summer arrival, especially with Manchester United currently seventh in the Premier League, having conceded 29 goals in 21 games. Criticisms included questions about his movement, with some fans referring to him as a “mannequin” for appearing rooted to the spot during the Senegal goal.

Despite the backlash, some supporters defended Onana, shifting the blame to the defenders and emphasizing that the entire team shares responsibility for on-field performances. As Cameroon now has just one point from two AFCON group games, the spotlight remains on Onana’s form, leaving many to question his role and impact at Manchester United.

Here is the highlight video of Senegal vs. Cameroon, which ended with a 3-1 victory for Senegal.
