Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana had to be whisked away from the Mandela National Stadium, Namboole following the conclusion of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between Cameroon and Zimbabwe on Tuesday night.
The above happened because the 28-year-old had to catch a flight at Entebbe International Airport straight back to England as per reports.
Reports further suggested that Manchester United sent a private jet to Entebbe to pick up the custodian and it was waiting for him as security struggled to evacuate him from Namboole with a host of fans gathered at the exit.
Onana had to return to Manchester on time as the Red Devils prepare for their next Premier League game away to Southampton on Saturday afternoon.
The former Inter Milan goal minder overshadowed both sets of players with Ugandan Manchester United fans buzzing in the stands cheering him on.
Despite having over 15,000 fans away from home in United supporters for Onana, the Indomitable Lions could only afford a point against the Warriors in a 0-0 stalemate.
A point left the five-time AFCON champions joint top of Group J level on four points with Kenya who defeated Namibia 2-1 in South Africa on the same day.
