'We look alike' — Super Eagles keeper admits Onana resemblance, reveals dream to join him at Man United

Super Eagles goalkeeper Adebayo Adeleye has openly admitted to resembling Manchester United star Andre Onana while revealing his lifelong dream of playing for the Red Devils, a club he has supported since childhood.

Adeleye, 25, who currently plays for Greek club Volos FC, has recently gone viral after pictures taken at the Super Eagles camp in Uyo circulated on social media.

Fans have noted the striking similarity between Adeleye and Onana, the Cameroonian goalkeeper who joined Manchester United from Inter Milan but has experienced a challenging time at Old Trafford.

Initially, Adeleye asked fans and the media to stop comparing him to Onana following reactions to their resemblance, as reported by Pulse Sports Nigeria.

However, during a YouTube interview, he conceded that the resemblance is noticeable. “Yeah, I think we look alike,” Adeleye said, though he revealed he has not met Onana yet but hopes to do so one day.

More than just a physical resemblance, Adeleye expressed his admiration for Premier League giants Manchester United.

He clarified that his support for the club is independent of Onana’s presence, saying, when asked what club he supports, “Man United, no (not because of Onana).”

The goalkeeper added that playing for Manchester United is a personal ambition, stating simply, “Someday.”

Adeleye’s dream to don the famous red jersey reflects his passion and determination to reach the highest levels of the game.

While currently focused on his role for both Volos and the Nigerian national team, he remains committed to developing his skills and increasing his profile in European football.

While the Super Eagles prepare for critical qualifiers ahead, Adeleye’s hope to follow in the footsteps of goalkeepers like Onana adds a motivational edge to his performances.
