UP FOR KEEPS Andre Onana impresses as striker with childhood friends in Cameroon as Man Utd fans call for him to replace Hojlund
MANCHESTER UNITED goalkeeper Andre Onana shocked locals when he rocked up for a kickabout with childhood friends in his home country.
But instead of guarding the net, the flamboyant keeper played out on pitch.

Onana, wearing a black vest and shorts, looked nothing like a struggling goalkeeper as he danced across the pitch with boots coated in red dust but a wide smile as ever.
He is currently back in Cameroon for a break after a rollercoaster season where he was heavily criticised for his countless errors, including in last month's Europa League final defeat to Tottenham.
There has been interest from AS Monaco, but Onana has turned down all offers and has no intention of leaving Ruben Amorim's side.
His future is still up in the air but SunSport understands the former Inter Milan man is determined to succeed at the club.
United are set to make changes in the goalkeeping department and Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez wants to join the Old Trafford Club.
But the current plan is to keep faith in Onana and bring in someone who can put serious pressure on the 29-year-old.
Red Devils boss Amorim is expected to spend his available budget on other areas, notably in reshaping the forward line.
United declined to comment when asked about the video of Onana in Cameroon.

While another quipped: "Even they don't want him in goal!"

Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr ‘plot £85million move for Liverpool's Luis Diaz' after handing Man Utd legend new deal
Arne Slot's take on Diaz's exit revealed below AZ TO GO? Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr 'plot £85million move for Liverpool's Luis Diaz' after handing Man Utd legend new deal Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CRISTIANO RONALDO'S Al-Nassr side are prepared to pay Liverpool a staggering £85million for Luis Diaz, reports claim. The Saudi Pro League side are in hunt for fresh talent after handing Ronaldo the most lucrative contract in sporting history until 2027. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Al-Nassr are plotting a £85million move for Luis Diaz from Liverpool Credit: Reuters 5 it comes after Cristiano Ronaldo agreed record-breaking fresh terms this week Credit: Getty 5 With two years remaining on his Anfield contract, Diaz opened the door to a surprise exit after confessing he was in talks with other clubs. The 28-year-old winger played a key role in Liverpool's title-winning season, contributing 17 goals and eight assists in 50 appearances across all competitions. Liverpool haven't offered Diaz a contract extension and he could be marginalised after the £116million arrival of club-record signing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. According to a report by Okaz, Al-Nassr have set their sights on Diaz and are open to making him the second-highest sale in Liverpool history behind Philippe Coutinho. READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS WISH ROO WERE HERE? Wayne Rooney pictured looking glum on holiday with Coleen & Utd legends Journalist Ben Jacobs confirmed Al-Nassr's interest and hinted that while Liverpool currently have no intention of selling, such a huge bid could tempt the club's hierarchy to reconsider. The report did add that "the final decision is left to the player himself", with the Colombia international also strongly linked with cash-strapped Barcelona. Al-Nassr are planning a mega recruitment drive after missing out on Asian Champions League football next season and failing to win a title since Ronaldo, 40, joined from Manchester United in 2021. SunSport previously reported that Liverpool valued Diaz at £70million, so the club might be drawn in by banking £15million more.

His girlfriend, Gera Ponce, posted an emotional Instagram message which some fans believed was a farewell. Man Utd open to Rasmus Hojlund offers LATEST with Italian giants keen | Transfers Exposed She wrote under a slideshow of photos showcasing Diaz's triumphs in the 2024-25 season: "From the first day we arrived, we felt first hand what it means to be a part of this club. "We knew the slogan was 'You'll Never Walk Alone', but to hear them sing it with so much passion, support us every moment and show such unconditional love... confirmed to us that here you never walk alone. "This fanbase doesn't just support, it feels. And what you have made my boyfriend and our entire family feel is something we carry in our souls." But Liverpool boss Arne Slot is eager to keep Diaz for next season's title defence after his ever-growing £216MILLION reboot, with Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez joining over the last month. 5 TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW
