Stop associating me with Onana, Super Eagles goalkeeper Adeleye begs football fans
Adeleye, who is now with the Super Eagles preparing for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa, expressed anxiety in interviews about being mistaken for the Red Devils’ goalie on numerous occasions.
“To the esteemed public, I wish to clarify a pressing matter regarding my identity. My name is Adebayo Adeleye, and I am a Nigerian goalkeeper. Unfortunately, some individuals have mistakenly called me Andre Onana, the renowned Cameroonian goalkeeper,” he said.

He also emphasized that while he holds great respect for Onana, they are two different players with distinct nationalities and career paths.
“I kindly request that the public to refrain from associating me with Andre Onana, as we are two distinct individuals with different nationalities and careers. I am proud to be Adebayo Adeleye, a Nigerian, and I would appreciate it if my correct identity were respected and used in all references,” he added.
Adeleye, who has represented Nigeria at the senior level, is currently based in Europe and remains one of the country’s most promising goalkeepers.
Andre Onana hasn’t had the best of times at Manchester United since signing from Inter Milan in 2023, with the Red Devils reportedly shopping for his replacement.
