MANCHESTER UNITED face a potential goalkeeping nightmare in January.

That’s after Andre Onana received an international recall from Cameroon.

The new Red Devils stopper left his country’s camp during the World Cup in December after a fallout with manager Rigobert Song.

Onana’s exit looked to have spelled the end of his time playing for his homeland.

However, the former Ajax and Inter Milan ace has received a shock call-up for Cameroon’s upcoming AFCON qualifier against Burundi.

It’s unclear whether Onana will choose to accept the recall.

But if he says yes, and Cameroon qualify for AFCON, Onana could miss as many as four games for United in January.

The Red Devils face Tottenham, Wolves, West Ham and Aston Villa while the tournament is on.

And if Cameroon go all the way, United will have to look elsewhere for a stopper after the Christmas break.

Reflecting on his decision to name Onana in his squad, Cameroon boss Song said: “It’s all depended on him.

“He knew what he had to do. If he’s on the list, it’s because he did the right thing.

“He’s one of the best goalkeepers. The door was always open.

“There was never a problem with Andre. Today we are satisfied that he is reunited.”

Options to replace Onana at United currently include veteran Tom Heaton and Dean Henderson.

However, the latter is expected to join Crystal Palace in a £15million deal before deadline day.

And that could herald the arrival of Turkish stopper Altay Bayindir in a £7m move from Fenerbahce.
