André Onana is reluctant to take time away from Manchester United to play for Cameroon at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in January after a difficult start to his career at Old Trafford, a source has told ESPN.
Onana quit international football following the World Cup in Qatar after a disagreement with head coach Rigobert Song.
He agreed to return for the final AFCON qualifier against Burundi in September amid pressure from the government and the Cameroon FA.
A 3-0 victory for Cameroon booked their place at the tournament, which starts in the Ivory Coast on Jan. 13.
Onana, however, is reluctant to take part because it could mean the 27-year-old missing a month of the Premier League season and, according to a source close to the player, his priority is to focus on his new club.
Onana is particularly keen to stay at Old Trafford following a tough start to his first season, which has included a series of costly mistakes, and wants to show his commitment to United.
