Ange Postecoglou reacts to Man Utd reaching controversial late Andre Onana AFCON agreement with Cameroon that will allow him to face Tottenham

The Red Devils have managed to retain Onana until January 14 after reaching an agreement with the Cameroonian FA. This means that the goalkeeper should be available for the match against Spurs in mid-January. However, Postecoglou remains unfazed and stated that each club is entitled to handle such a situation as they deem fit.

Speaking to reporters, Postecoglou said: "Yeah, I don’t think it’s fair or unfair. Each club can deal with it the way we want. There's other reasons for these kind of things, but no, certainly, what other clubs do doesn’t affect me or the way I view it.

"Ultimately we're bound by FIFA rules with these things. We want our players to represent their countries. They are big tournaments they are going to and hopefully they are all successful. More importantly, hopefully, they all come back healthy. I've spent zero time [worrying about the Onana situation], not bothered at all what other clubs do."

FIFA regulations mandate clubs to release players for AFCON from January 1 onwards, although they can push back the date after negotiations with federations. Spurs have already allowed Mali's Yves Bissouma and Senegal's Pape Matar Sarr to join their international teammates, while Son Heung-min has also flown out of England to participate in the Asian Cup.

Before making the trip to Old Trafford on January 14, Tottenham will face Burnley in an FA Cup third-round tie on Friday evening in north London.
