About André Onana

André Onana Onana is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Süper Lig club Trabzonspor, on loan from Premier League club Manchester United, and the Cameroon national team. Because he was under 18 and a non-EU citizen, Onana had to go on loan in the 2012–13 season to the youth team of Cornellà, before being loaned again the next season to the first-team of Vista Alegre. He kept a clean sheet as United won the game 1–0, but was at the centre of controversy after referee Simon Hooper and VAR Michael Salisbury opted not to award a late penalty for a foul by Onana on Saša Kalajdžić. He signed for Ajax in 2015, where he made 214 appearances and won three Eredivisie titles. In January 2023, he won the Supercoppa Italiana against rivals AC Milan, and also went on to win the Coppa Italia, defeating Fiorentina in May 2023.
