Onana risks punishment if he snubs Cameroon duty in the new year in favour of attempting to correct his erratic start to life at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old has endured a mixed opening four months to his United career after replacing long-term No 1 David de Gea in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Onana has improved in the Premier League, helping Ten Hag&#8217;s side win five of their last six games with three consecutive clean sheets.<\/p>\n<p>But his mistakes have proven costly in the Champions League, leaving United on the brink of a humiliating Group A exit.<\/p>\n<p>He produced two howlers as United fumbled 2-0 and 3-1 leads in Wednesday&#8217;s 3-3 draw against Galatasaray, a must-win game in a hostile Istanbul.<\/p>\n<p>And with January&#8217;s AFCON looming large, suggestions that Altay Bayindir could soon overthrow Onana as first-choice goalkeeper have intensified.<\/p>\n<p>He is reportedly reluctant to abandon United midway through the season by accepting a place in Rigobert Song&#8217;s squad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click <\/strong><strong>here<\/strong><strong> to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive Man Utd news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>

international duty when Ten Hag splashed \u00a347million to sign him in the summer before making a U-turn.<\/p>\n<p>But he could miss up to five games for United if he plays in the international tournament, likely joining Morocco&#8217;s Sofyan Amrabat and Tunisia&#8217;s Hannibal Mejbri.<\/p>\n<p>Prioritising his United career over representing Cameroon could come with a price, though, which would be just as much of a blow for Ten Hag.<\/p>\n<p>Onana might be banned from playing for the Red Devils during the period he would&#8217;ve missed if he had travelled to AFCON due to FIFA rules.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g>

registered during the period for which he has been released or should have been released pursuant to the provisions of this annex, plus an additional period of five days.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Such a
