The Cameroonian shotstopper had drawn a massive crowd of fans because of a change to the match’s venue.

The Afcon qualification clash should have been played in Zimbabwe, but was instead held at the Mandela National Stadium in Uganda after the grounds in Zimbabwe were deemed to be substandard.

Uganda is known to have a huge number of Manchester United fans and that was clear when Onana tried to make his way through the streets after the game.

Fans swarmed around the 28-year-old and could be heard screaming his name and asking him for photographs.
