Manchester United and Cameroon shot-stopper Andre Onana is reportedly set on making another U-turn regarding his role in the national side at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The 27-year-old featured for the Red Devils in their 2-0 FA Cup win over Wigan Athletic on Monday evening and is likely to feature once more for his club when they take on Tottenham Hotspur in a Premier League clash on Sunday.

The Indomitable Lions, however, will begin thier AFCON campaign just under 24 hours later, with a Group C clash against Guinea-Bissau.
After initially planning to play in both fixtures, reports now suggest that Onana could be forced to miss out on his national side's AFCON opener as he may not arrive in time and according to iNews, the goalkeeper now faces the possibility of not playing a single match for the entirety of the tournament.
The former Inter Milan star is believed to have reached an agreement with his national side that would allow him to join his compatriots at a later date after it was said that he feared losing out on his position as United's first choice in goal.
If Cameroon fail to make it out of the group stages of the continent's showpiece competition, it could see Onana miss no games for his club as the Manchester side, after their clash against Spurs, will only be in action again on 27 January.

Onana had initially retired from international football following a spat with manager Rigobert Song and president of the Cameroonian Football Federation Samuel Eto'o at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
However, in September this year, Onana made a shock return to the international set-up in an attempt to help his nation qualify for the tournament.
