MANCHESTER UNITED goalkeeper Andre Onana has won a special award in recognition of his humanitarian work in Africa.

The 28-year-old’s charitable foundation provides free medical care and surgery in underprivileged communities in his native Cameroon and other countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

He has received world player union Fifpro’s Impact Award for his efforts, a prize won in 2020 by his United team-mate Marcus Rashford for his work to ensure children continued to receive free school meals when schools were closed.
