Add as preferred source on Google

Andre Onana helped Cameroon maintain their unbeaten run after starring against Zimbabwe on Tuesday afternoon.

The 28-year-old is one of 14 Manchester United players on international duty this November and he started for Cameroon as they beat Zimbabwe 2-1 in their latest African Cup of Nations qualifier.

Cameroon remain unbeaten in their World Cup qualification campaign and their African Cup of Nations group following Tuesday’s win.

Andre Onana has silenced all his critics at United this season after an impressive start to the season. Despite the Red Devils struggling in the Premier League Onana has the most clean sheets of any goalkeeper in the top-flight with five.

Edwin van der Sar tipped Onana to become ‘one of the best’ in the world at Old Trafford, and he is certainly showing huge signs of improvement this season.

Andre Onana’s performance for Cameroon vs Zimbabwe

Andre Onana started his international break by keeping a clean sheet for Cameroon during their goalless draw with Namibia last Wednesday.

However, Cameroon have now officially topped Group J and secured qualification to the African Cup of Nations which is set to start in December 2025.

Here is a quick glance at how Onana fared for Cameroon vs Zimbabwe after being given a 6.7 rating via SofaScore.

Andre Onana can be key for Ruben Amorim at Man United

After a successful international break, Onana can now fly back to Manchester to meet up with new head coach Ruben Amorim.

Onana was signed by Erik ten Hag for £44m having played under the Dutchman during their time at Ajax together.

Ten Hag wanted to bring Onana in due to his incredible composure and ability on the ball – traits that will also make him a perfect choice for Amorim.

Amorim is expected to implement a 3-4-3 system at United following huge success with that formation in Portugal.

He will demand composure and line-breaking passes from his goalkeeper and that is an area of Onana’s game that is superb. Expect Onana to start against Ipswich Town in Amorim’s first match this Sunday.
