Nigerians on social media have jokingly called on the Cameroon coaching crew to give Andre Onana a chance to man the goal post when the indomitable Lions Cameroon face the Super Eagles of Nigeria on Saturday in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.
The question posted to the Cameroonian FA came after it was confirmed that the Indomitable Lions will be the Super Eagles’ opponents in the Round of 16 following the five-time Champions 3-2 win victory over The Gambia.
Recall that the Man United’s goalkeeper Onana was benched during the last group C encounter between Cameroon and Gambia.
The 27-year-old has been the subject of trolls and criticism since signing for Man United in the Summer after several howlers in goal for the English giants.
Taking to social media to react to the fixture, Nigerian football fans wished Onana will be fielded in the clash with Cameroon as they see it as an advantage for the Super Eagles attack led by reigning Africa Player of the Year, Victor Osimhen.
@SireNoble wrote, “Make Onana play this match against Nigeria, I want to check something.”
@Eazilino said, “An appeal to Cameroon to play Onana against Nigeria on Saturday, we have a surprise for Him.”
@IbkSports tweeted, “Petition to start Andre Onana against the Super Eagles of Nigeria on Saturday.”
