Manchester United’s first team coach Erik ten Hag has confirmed the return of Cameroon shot stopper Andre Onana following Cameroon’s exit at the ongoing AFCON in Côte d’Ivoire.
Onana was in the goal post in Red Devils’ last Premier League game against Tottenham—a feat that made him miss Cameroon’s first AFCON game against Guinea.
Realizing how rigorous their second group game could be, Rigobert Song called up experienced Onana into the first team against Senegal where he conceded 3 goals which was Cameroon most defeat suffered before being eliminated by Nigeria in the round of 16.
According to multiple reports, Onana left the Cameroon camp for England the next morning and has been confirmed available for the Manchester United tie against Wolves on Thursday.
Ten Hag in his interview was pleased with Bayindir who was in goal post during their 4-2 win over Newport.
“I think it was a composed debut [by Bayindir],” Ten Hag said at his post-match press conference at Rodney Parade, when asked about the goalkeeping situation. “Some good saves, so very composed. I think, overall, he can be happy.
“I was pleased with his performance.
“Andre Onana will be back for Thursday.
“Maybe, for the first time as long as I was manager, I can pick a team from the squad that is probably the strongest here.”
