Andre Onana has found himself making the headlines yet again after he was seen agressively pushing away fan at full time after he had made a mistake while playing for Cameroon.

Andre Onana has once again found himself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons after Cameroon’s 1-0 defeat to Cape Verde in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. 

Footage circulating on social media shows the Manchester United goalkeeper — currently on loan at Turkish side Trabzonspor — striking a home fan who appeared to be pursuing him following the final whistle.

The 28-year-old looked visibly enraged after the loss, his frustration compounded by his role in the decisive moment of the match.

 Dailon Livramento scored the only goal in the 54th minute after Onana opted to stay rooted to his line instead of narrowing the angle, sparking heavy criticism from fans and pundits alike.

The result leaves Cape Verde flying high at the top of Group D, four points clear after five straight wins, while Cameroon remain in second place with 15 points.

Onana’s error in Praia is the latest in a string of costly mistakes that have defined a turbulent spell for the Cameroonian. 

Once signed by Manchester United with high expectations, he has since lost both his starting spot and the confidence of new manager Ruben Amorim.

 The Portuguese coach has only trusted him once this season, in a League Cup tie against Grimsby Town — a game in which Onana again committed a crucial error.

Amorim was reportedly relieved when the goalkeeper accepted a season-long loan to Trabzonspor. According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, all paperwork for the deal has been completed, with Onana flying directly to Turkey after international duty.

 The Daily Mail reported that although Onana’s salary will increase significantly in Turkey, Manchester United will not receive a loan fee for the move.

While some see the transfer as a chance for Onana to reset his career, others believe his time at the top level is finished. Former England defender Rio Ferdinand, speaking as a pundit, delivered a harsh assessment: “The club, at least, gets rid of a player who doesn’t deserve to wear the Manchester United shirt. He’s simply not good enough to stay.”

With criticism mounting, both at club and international level, Onana’s response in Turkey could define whether his career stabilizes or continues its downward spiral. For now, the spotlight remains firmly on him — and not for the reasons he would have hoped.
