Manchester United’s Andre Onana found himself in the spotlight after reacting angrily to a pitch invader following Cameroon’s 1-0 defeat to Cape Verde in a World Cup qualifier.

Onana was benched for United’s first three Premier League matches against Arsenal, Fulham, and Burnley, with Altay Bayindir preferred in goal.
His situation worsened after the club signed Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for £18 million on deadline day, pushing him further down the pecking order.
During the international fixture, Onana’s positioning was criticized after he failed to close down Dailon Livramento, who scored the decisive goal with a composed finish.
Cape Verde’s victory brought them within reach of their first-ever World Cup qualification.
After the final whistle, fans stormed the pitch in celebration. One fan approached Onana for a selfie, prompting the frustrated goalkeeper to push him away. The fan then retaliated by throwing a water bottle.
Onana’s future remains uncertain, with limited interest from other clubs. Monaco reportedly backed out due to his £30 million valuation.
West Ham also declined to pursue him, believing their current goalkeeping options—Mads Hermansen, signed from Leicester for £18 million, and Alphonse Areola, acquired from PSG for £11 million—were sufficient.
