But he featured in just one of their four matches before they crashed out to Nigeria in the last 16 over the weekend with his COUSIN, Nimes goalie Fabrice Ondo, preferred instead.

And he has now returned to the North West to prepare for tomorrow night’s trip to Wolves where he will weigh his options up in the coming weeks

Onana informed United he was retired from international football when he made the £47 million switch from Inter in the summer.

He had originally called time on playing for his country following a row with president Samuel Eto’o and coach Rigobert Song at the World Cup in 2022.

However he was persuaded to go back for a vital AFCON qualifier in the autumn.

Then decided he wanted to play at the finals.

United and Cameroon came to a compromise that he would stay in Manchester an extra few days.

He then missed the opening game due to travel problems.

Onana played in the defeat to Senegal but was then axed for the final two matches against Gambia and Nigeria – who put the Indomitable Lions out.

His return means the only game he missed was the FA Cup win at League Two Newport on Sunday.

But United were well covered as Turkey international Altay Bayindir deputised between the sticks.
