Andre Onana hands Man Utd huge blow as he comes out of international retirement to accept Cameroon’s Afcon call-up

ANDRE ONANA has come out of international retirement to play for Cameroon.

The Manchester United star is set to return to national team action for the first time since last year's World Cup.

Onana, 27, started Cameroon's opening match in Qatar before being dropped by boss Rigobert Song.

The goalkeeper is understood to have clashed with Song over tactics, and later left Cameroon's Qatar camp.

He has missed his country's last seven matches, but was surprisingly named in Song's latest squad last month.

It was initially unclear if Onana would accept a call-up.

But he has now confirmed that he WILL play for his country once again.

The Indomitable Lions face Burundi in an Afcon qualifier on September 12.

Should they qualify, Onana could miss four Premier League matches between January and February.

The tournament is set to kick-off in the Ivory Coast on January 13, with the final taking place on February 11.

In this time, United are scheduled to face Tottenham, Wolves, West Ham and Aston Villa in the Premier League.

Onana debuted for his country in 2016 and has earned 34 caps.

The Red Devils signed goalkeeper Altay Bayindir in a £4.3million deal from Fenerbahce on deadline day.

Bayindir, 25, penned a four-year deal at United and was on the bench for their 3-1 defeat at Arsenal yesterday.
