Wait for me! Man Utd keeper Onana jets to Ivory Coast for Cameroon's AFCON opener

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana hopped on a private jet for Ivory Coast after their 2-2 draw with Tottenham on Sunday.

Onana will join Cameroon's Africa Cup of Nations squad with their opening game against Guinea later on Monday.

Cameroon coach Rigobert Song hasn't ruled out Onana playing in the tie.

Onana began the 4,800-mile journey from Manchester on a private jet and posted a picture of himself on a plane at 11pm on Snapchat.

Fabrice Ondoa, of Nîmes, is ready to step in for Onana for the 5pm kickoff clash.
