Cameroon’s André Onana and Bryan Mbeumo are set to become rivals in the Premier League this weekend.
This comes after their crucial roles in securing their nation’s place in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco on Monday.
The duo played a full 90 minutes at Mandela National Stadium, Namboole, where Cameroon triumphed over Kenya with a narrow 1-0 victory.
The decisive moment came in the 63rd minute, when substitute Boris Enow found the net to clinch the win.
As the celebration subsides, the focus shifts to club football.
Onana’s Manchester United will host Mbeumo’s Brentford at Old Trafford this Saturday, marking an exciting clash between two national teammates.
Both players are currently enjoying strong seasons, Onana leads the Premier League with four clean sheets.
While Mbeumo has scored six goals, placing him second only to Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, who has ten.
This matchup not only highlights their individual talents but also underscores their pivotal roles for both club and country.
The match between Manchester United and Brentford at Old Trafford will be broadcast live on NBS Sport starting at 5 PM EAT.
