Goalkeeper Onana gives Man Utd a huge headache

Goalkeeper Andre Onana has been named in Cameroon's squad for the 2024 African Nations Cup. If Cameroon progress further, Man Utd could lose Onana for a month.

Onana's absence coincides with the time when Man Utd enters the most intense period. According to estimates, the Red Devils can lose the Cameroon goalkeeper for 6 games. The difficulty for Man Utd is that they do not have a goalkeeper of enough quality to replace Onana.

In Onana's absence, Altay Bayindir is likely to start for Man Utd. The Turkish goalkeeper just joined Old Trafford in the summer transfer window from Fenerbahçe.

Altay Bayindir is 25 years old. This goalkeeper played for Fenerbahçe for 5 years before moving to Man Utd. During his time at Fenerbahçe, Altay Bayindir was the main goalkeeper. He played 145 matches.

In his career, Altay Bayindir has played 8 matches for the Turkish national team. However, he has not made a big impression yet. Moreover, Altay Bayindir has no experience playing at the top level in the top 5 European national championships.

Man Utd still has two other goalkeepers, Tom Heaton (37 years old) and Radek Vitek (20 years old). However, the possibility of them competing for Altay Bayindir's position is not high.

In the immediate future, goalkeeper Onana will request to join the Cameroon national team late to play for Man Utd in the match against Wigan on January 8 in the FA Cup.

Onana sale helps Man Utd avoid bankruptcy

According to Il Giornale, Inter considered declaring bankruptcy last summer. However, they later avoided this risk by selling Onana to Man Utd for 55 million euros.

The lack of a shirt sponsor and the lack of a profitable business by parent company Sunning have left Inter in financial trouble, with a net debt of €807 million in 2022. This means that Inter's debt exceeds the club's assets.
