ANDRE ONANA was spotted advising one of his Cameroon team-mates moments before one of the most shambolic Afcon free kicks.

The under-pressure Manchester United keeper ran all the way into the opposition half in the 65th of their match with Senegal to give some words of wisdom to Georges-Kevin N’Koudou.

Onana placed his hands on the back and hip of the former Tottenham man and seemingly appeared to give him some instructions as he prepared to put the ball into the box.

N’Koudou’s delivery from deep in the Senegalese half was a disastrous one, with the floated ball failing to come anywhere near a team-mate and piddling out of play.

Afcon watchers were quick to comment, with one saying: “What advice could Onana possibly have had???”

Another said with a series of laughing emojis: “This can’t be real.”

And another said: “Onana advice still no work.”

One remarked: “Obviously the advice seemed bad.”

Another chimed in: “Onana is not good at anything even advising someone.”

One stunned viewer even said: “[This] guy is a comedian,”

Senegal ended up running 3-1 winners thanks to goals from Isamaila Sarr, Habib Diallo and former Liverpool hitman Sadio Mane.

Cameroon are in danger of being dumped out of the tournament as they’re winless in their first two matches and currently sitting in third place in Group D.

They must beat Gambia on Tuesday and hope that Senegal comfortably beat Guinea to secure automatic qualification to the last-16.

Should they be prematurely dumped out of the tournament, Onana could be back in goal for Manchester United’s FA Cup fourth-round clash with Newport County next Sunday.
