Onana makes nominee list of FIFA Men’s Goalkeeper award

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana made it to the nominee list for the 2023 Best FIFA Men’s Goalkeeper award.

The Cameroon star was nominated mainly on the back of his impressive campaign for Internazionale last season, as he helped the Italian club go all the way to the Champions League final, before they lost to Manchester City, in Istanbul.

Onana’s first two Man United appearances, against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham, saw him impress for the Red Devils.

Onana produced one of the standout goalkeeping performances of the year in the 2023 Champions League final, making a string of stunning saves and impressing with his pinpoint distribution, FIFA wrote.

“While his team were eventually edged out 1-0 by Manchester City, he further enhanced his reputation as one of the world’s pre-eminent stoppers. Onana joined Manchester United in July 2023.”

Yassine Bounou (Sevilla/Al Hilal & Morocco)
