Andre Onana has declared that he has a 'very good' relationship with his Manchester United teammate Harry Maguire. The two were rumoured to have had a dispute during United's 3-2 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas, but Onana insists that the situation was exaggerated by the media.
Onana said in a press conference ahead of Wednesday's clash with Bayern Munich: "Harry is a very good guy, I have a good relationship with him, I even spoke with him this morning before we took off for Munich. What happened there, I already explained straight after the game. I don’t think we have to give importance to what happened because are big guys and what happens on the pitch stays on the pitch and we definitely have a good relationship."
The Cameroon international goalkeeper recently returned to action with Cameroon during the September international break, having retired from international duty late last year following a disagreement with manager Rigobert Song. Cameroon sealed their place in January’s Africa Cup of Nations in that win over Burundi, and Onana was asked if he would be available for selection.
He replied: "If am called up, I don’t know if I am going to be called up so we can’t speak about things we don’t know. Let’s see what is going to happen in the next month but we are here to play against Munich, an important game for us so all the focus is on that game tomorrow."
Manchester United go into the game with Bayern Munich missing Maguire, who has been ruled out due to injury. The team will have to rely on Onana's experience and skill to get them a positive result against one of Europe's most formidable sides.
