Andre Onana WILL leave Man United behind to play for Cameroon at AFCON after months of wrangling over a decision amid fears he will lose his place... but row with Samuel Eto'o still hangs over him

It has been a year since Andre Onana quit international football after he was kicked out of Cameroon's World Cup camp in Qatar.

When Onana is named in Rigobert Song's squad on Thursday for next month's Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, it might give the impression that the Manchester United goalkeeper has healed the rift with his manager and, more significantly, Cameroon's football federation chief Samuel Eto'o. Nothing could be further from the truth.

This is a story of personalities and politics, bitterness and recrimination. Of allegations of corruption and intimidation. One that explains why Onana's participation in the AFCON has been shrouded in so much secrecy and uncertainty since he joined United from Inter Milan for £47.
