      ‘This can’t be real’ – Man Utd star Andre Onana spotted giving team-mate advice seconds before shambolic moment at Afcon

      by

      ANDRE ONANA was spotted advising one of his Cameroon team-mates moments before a shambolic free kick at Afcon.The under-pressure Manchester United keeper ran all the way into the opposition half in the 65th of their match with Senegal to give some words of wisdom to Georges-Kevin N’Koudou.

      Onana placed his hands on the back and hip of the former Tottenham man and seemingly appeared to give him some instructions as he prepared to put the ball into the box.
      N’Koudou’s delivery from deep in the Senegalese half was a disastrous one, with the floated ball failing to come anywhere near a team-mate and piddling out of play.
      Afcon watchers were quick to comment, with one saying: “What advice could Onana possibly have had???”
      Another said with a series of laughing emojis: “This can’t be real.”

      And another said: “Onana advice still no work.”
      One remarked: “Obviously the advice seemed bad.”
      Another chimed in: “Onana is not good at anything even advising someone.”
      One stunned viewer even said: “[This] guy is a comedian.”

      Senegal ended up running out 3-1 winners thanks to goals from Isamaila Sarr, Habib Diallo and former Liverpool hitman Sadio Mane.
      Cameroon are in danger of being dumped out of the tournament as they’re winless in their first two matches and currently sitting in third place in Group D.
      They must beat Gambia on Tuesday and hope that Senegal comfortably beat Guinea to secure automatic qualification to the last-16.
      Should they be prematurely dumped out of the tournament, Onana could be back in goal for Manchester United’s FA Cup fourth-round clash with Newport County next Sunday. More

      Man Utd and Cameroon keeper Andre Onana drops Afcon howler as fans say he is ‘born to concede goals’

      by

      FANS ridiculed Andre Onana after blaming the Manchester United keeper for Senegal’s opener in their 3-1 AFCON win.Onana was labelled “born to concede goals” as he mis-timed a punch and was rooted to the spot when Ismaila Sarr drilled home the loose ball.

      Little has gone right for the under-fire Old Trafford No1 recently – despite his extraordinary efforts to go the extra mile for club and country.
      Onana, 27, dashed to the airport after playing in United’s 2-2 home draw with Tottenham last Sunday.
      But bad weather held up his private jet, so he missed Cameroon’s Africa Cup of Nations opener on Monday, a 1-1 stalemate with Guinea.
      And it got worse for United’s summer signing on Friday night.

      After just 16 minutes against Senegal, he could only jab the ball away – enabling Sarr to turn and rifle home through a crowded penalty box.
      Onana’s view of the shot might well have been partly obstructed but one fan responded: “Complete definition of addiction to conceding goals.”
      Another said: “Onana has just let a goal in…some things never change.” 
      Some critics questioned why the stopper’s feet appeared stuck when Sarr turned to shoot – once calling him a “mannequin”.

      Similar observations included: “Does Onana dive for anything?” and “Not like Onana not to move….”
      And with the Red Devils seventh in the Premier League, having let in 29 goals in 21 games, many United fans doubt the value of his £47million summer arrival.
      One claimed: “I had enough of Onana in the last 10 games, truth be told we made a mistake of a signing.”
      But the former Inter Milan hero also has his supporters, with one saying: “It’s not his fault – it’s the defenders.”
      With Cameroon now having just one point from two AFCON group games, one fan joked: “Onana will catch a quick flight back to England.”
      Habib Diallo doubled Senegal’s lead following Marseille winger Sarr’s pinpoint cross on 71 minutes.
      Jean-Charles Castelletto headed Cameroon back into it and they missed two glaring chances to equalise.
      But Idrissa Gueye surged clear to set up ex-Liverpool striker Sadio Mane for a Senegal clincher deep in stoppage time. More

      Man Utd told the three transfers they must make to kick Sir Jim Ratcliffe era off with a bang

      The first major move in the winter window has already taken place at United as Jadon Sancho headed out on loan to his former side Borussia Dortmund.
      With Erik ten Hag’s injury crisis ongoing fans are waiting to see if the club will bring in any recruits.
      And Red Devils icon Yorke gave his say on who he thinks should be next in line for the Manchester outfit.
      Speaking on the Footy Accumulators, Yorke said: “If I were in charge of Man United and had to sign three players, then I’d pick Victor Osimhen, Leroy Sane, and Son Heung-Min.

      “I feel United are OK defensively, but they lack options in midfield.
      “I wouldn’t say the club needs a clear out, but they need at least six new players to freshen up the whole team. Too many players have been there for too long!”
      Sane would be a particularly interesting move because of his previous stint at Manchester City.
      The German made 135 appearances for the club across four seasons, contributing 39 goals and 46 assists.

      However, Sane was sold to Bayern Munich and after a slow start, is now one of their most important players.
      This season, he has bagged nine goals and nine assists in 24 appearances across all competitions for Thomas Tuchel’s side.
      While Napoli’s prolific goal scorer Osimhen has scored 67 goals in 119 appearances for the Serie A side.
      And Tottenham skipper Son is the Lilywhites star man known for his speed and incredible finishes.
      Yorke continued: “I think Leroy Sane would give United plenty of options on the right and he’d complement Rashford well.
      “Victor Osimhen would inject firepower and goals, and he’d complete my ideal front three.
      “I feel like Man United have lost their identity in this department over the last 18 months, and I worry about how fragile they look there. I find myself second-guessing the team before each game!”

      Raphael Varane faces Erik Ten Hag probe over winter break photo as Man Utd defender may have breached major club rule

      by

      RAPHAEL VARANE is on a slippery slope with Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag after photographing himself at a ski resort.The French World Cup winner, 30, on Thursday posted an Instagram picture of himself enjoying his free time – given to all United players this week – at the unknown snow-covered destination.

      It is understood United forbid players to go skiing during the season due to the risk of injury.
      While the picture itself only shows the defender standing there, with slopes and skiers in the background, he is sure to be quizzed upon his return to Old Trafford.
      Manager Ten Hag will be piste off if he learns the injury prone centre-back was reckless in taking part in any skiing.
      The winter activity is banned by the majority of clubs across Europe, fearful of major injuries to stars.
      Bayern Munich keeper Manuel Neuer broke his leg in freak accident during the Bundesliga winter break in 2022, after returning from Germany’s disastrous World Cup campaign in Qatar.
      Neuer was out for 10 months in total.
      Last night a representative for Varane insisted he had not been skiing at the resort.
      But it may only be downhill from here for four-time Champions League winner Varane, who moved to Old Trafford from Real Madrid in July, 2021 for £42million.

      Rumours have already begun that Varane wants out of United, with interest from Saudi Pro League clubs and German champions Bayern Munich.
      Varane has just this season left on his £340,000-a-week deal, although there is an option on the club’s side of a further year.
      Varane has featured 18 times in all competitions for Man Utd this season.
      The defender has been in and out of the team, with Varane falling behind Harry Maguire in the pecking order at one stage.
      He has featured in five of the club’s last six games, only missing a game through illness. More

      Ibraghimov, 19, regularly rubs shoulders with some of the biggest British names in the sport – including former UFC title challenger Darren Till and PFL star Brendan Loughnane.
      The teen sensation is well and truly on track to make it to the UFC – but his brothers could end up becoming bigger stars than him.
      Ibragimov’s younger brothers – Amir and Gazik – are working their way through the ranks of Manchester United’s youth teams.
      Amir, 15, is considered to be one of the best prospects in United’s academy and was recently invited to train with the first team.

      The midfielder has seemingly already been earmarked for a future leadership role having captained United-14s and Under-15s.
      His displays for the club’s younger teams have seen him rewarded with five appearances for the Under-18s.
      Despite also being held in high regard by the club’s coaches, Gazik, 14, has yet to be called up to train with the senior Red Devils.
      Amir and Gazik are often cheered on by their fighting brother Ibraghim, who proudly shares their highlights and achievements on his Instagram.

      Amir and Gazik aren’t the only members of the Ibraghimov family trying to make it at the Premier League giants.
      The duo’s youngest brother Muhammad is also on the club’s books following a move from Manchester City’s academy last November.
      The starlet was proud as punch with his move to United, which he lauded with his near 7,000 Instagram followers.
      Along with a snap of himself holding up a club shirt, he wrote: “Here to create history.”
      Given United’s recent willingness to promote academy stars to the first team and give them starts – Kobbie Mainoo being a testament to the fact – it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that either Amir or Gazik will be handed full debuts in the coming years.
      And who knows, they could by then have a UFC star of a brother cheering them on at Old Trafford.

      Michael Carrick’s Boro are believed to be in pole position while Sunderland have been monitoring Diallo’s position over a potential return.
      Any possibility of a move away from Old Trafford was scuppered by an injury in pre-season that kept him out of action until the end of last month.
