'Why did I come here on a private jet!' - Man Utd goalkeeper Andre Onana left fuming after Cameroon AFCON snub as former Liverpool winger El Hadji Diouf steps in to 'calm him down'

World Cup Qualification CAF

The Red Devils star figured for his club in a Premier League clash with Tottenham on Sunday, before immediately making his way to John Lennon Airport in Liverpool and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/look-whos-back-will-man-utd-re-sign-david-dea-andre-onana-afcon-duty-dwight-yorke-goalkeeper-transfer-poser/bltc224aa72d15b845f" target="_blank">catching a flight to the Ivory Coast in order to link up with his national team</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

He was unable to land in Yamoussoukro – where Cameroon were kicking off their Africa Cup of Nations campaign against Guinea – but<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/andre-onana-man-utd-private-jet-tottenham-draw-23-hour-turnaround-cameroon-afcon-opener/blt0749623f5b83d055" target="_blank"> did complete a 5,000-mile journey</a> three hours prior to that game getting underway. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explained-why-man-utd-goalkeeper-andre-onana-missing-cameroon-afcon-opener-guinea/blte987872217a2a6f3" target="_blank">Onana was still left out of Rigobert Song’s matchday squad</a>, with Fabrice Ondoa taking on starting duties while Devis Epassy and Simon Ngapandouetnbu filled spots on the bench.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Onana reportedly had to be calmed down by former Liverpool and Senegal star El Hadji Diouf, with the 27-year-old shot-stopper said to have bellowed in the direction of Cameroon’s coaching team: “If I wasn't going to play or make the team, then why did I come here on a private jet?”

WHAT ONANA SAID

Onana has endured a strained relationship with Song, leading to him <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/onana-leave-qatar-return-cameroon-shock-suspension-world-cup/blt17947ee529f6ca95" target="_blank">being sent home from the 2022 World Cup</a>. An international retirement decision was reversed in order to join AFCON plans in 2024, but a man that has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/brutal-andre-onana-weaknesses-abilities-as-goalkeeper-error-strewn-start-david-de-gea-successor-man-utd/blt13693963c66d5aef" target="_blank">struggled for form at Old Trafford</a> now has to convince his head coach that he should figure against Senegal on Friday – with the Indomitable Lions being held to a 1-1 draw in their opening game of another quest to savour continental glory.
