Andre Onana plays as a STRIKER in kickabout in Cameroon - as shocked fans joke Man United star should play up-front for Ruben Amorim's side

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has shocked fans after being spotted playing as a striker in a game in his native Cameroon.

Onana, 29, came under criticism for his performances in goal for the Red Devils last season, as they recorded their worst-ever Premier League finish of 15th.

But fans have praised his outfield ability after footage of him playing as a centre-forward was posted to TikTok on Wednesday.

Standing at 6'3'', Onana could be seen using his height and strength to impressively shield the ball when it was played into him with his back to a defender.

The Cameroon international also exhibited several impressive touches to draw fouls from his opponents.

Reacting to the video, one user joked: 'Better ball handling than Hojlund'.

A second joked: 'They should send the full team here to train'.

A third added: 'United have rubbish strikers, so they should play Onana up front'.

The clip comes after Onana had been linked with a potential move to either a club in the Saudi Pro League or Ligue 1 side Monaco.

The club appears to be unconvinced by either Radoslaw Majecki or Philipp Kohn as their number one, with CEO Thiago Scuro confirming that a new goalkeeper is a priority this summer.

Chelsea's Djordje Petrovic has also been considered after returning from his loan spell with Strasbourg. He is not expected to have a future at Stamford Bridge.

The former Inter and Ajax stopper is currently on holiday, but he was stopped for a quick chat by reporter Stephane Bassalia Ouattara last week.

When quizzed about whether he might be departing United this summer, a smiling Onana replied in French: 'Will I leave? I don't know, we'll see!'

The Cameroonian has started 72 Premier League games for United since signing from Inter Milan in July 2023, keeping 18 clean sheets.

Significant changes are expected at United this summer with manager Ruben Amorim looking to overhaul his squad following a desperately disappointing season.
