Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana's return for Cameroon has nothing to do with coach Rigobert Song.

That's according to former Cameroon striker Patrick Suffo.

Onana has come out of international retirement after a World Cup blow-up with Song in Qatar.

"As far as being friends, I'm not very sure," he told BBC World Service's Sport Today. "I'm curious to see what's going to happen once they start working together again.

"The player came out and denied it was [a] discipline [issue], so many people in Cameroon understood that it was maybe other problems.

"I believe [Onana] said he didn't want to play while these guys were in charge of the team - Rigobert and the rest of the staff.

"I believe he is coming to play for Cameroon, not the manager or anybody else. That is sometimes a problem because you have to have the same view of football to be able to perform at the highest level."
