Andre Onana has endured a turbulent spell at Manchester United since arriving two years ago, and now the criticism has followed him onto international duty with Cameroon.
The goalkeeper made a costly mistake in his nation’s clash against Cape Verde, failing to come off his line to close down striker Dailon Livramento. The forward calmly slotted home in the 54th minute, handing Cape Verde a surprise 1-0 victory.
Frustration boiled over after the match when fans stormed the pitch. One supporter approached Onana from behind, phone in hand, appearing to film or take a photo. The keeper reacted angrily, shoving the fan away with his hand connecting to the supporter’s face – an incident captured by another onlooker recording from the front.
The fan responded by throwing a water bottle towards Onana before being ushered away. Onana shoving a fan after Cameroon’s game yesterday. 😭😭 [@UtdKev8] — UF (@UtdFaithfuls) September 10, 2025

The flashpoint comes at a time of upheaval for the 28-year-old, with Manchester United having recently signed Belgian keeper Senne Lammens.
A loan move to Turkish side Trabzonspor is now finalised, with the two clubs having reached an agreement prior to the international break.
For fans of the Turkish club, the hope will be that Onana can not only rebuild his career on the pitch, but also keep his temper in check off it.
