EPL: Ten Hag names two goalkeepers who can replace Onana at Man Utd

Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag has named the likes of Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton as the goalkeepers who can replace Andre Onana at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag said this while insisting he is not concerned by the prospect of losing Onana to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in January and February.

Though yet to be confirmed, it seems very likely that Onana will be called up to Cameroon’s squad for the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast.

This means the former Inter Milan and Ajax star could miss up to six games for Man United should his country reach the AFCON final.
