‘Andre is not even my name, mate. Do you know what I mean?’ he said, calmly rebuking the journalist who had been trying to get his attention. André Onana, whom Amadou had been mistaken for, is a Cameroonian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Manchester United. The video has gone viral online and fans have been marvelling at Onana’s seamless switch from French to a clear English accent as he addressed the new reporter.

The British accent goes crazy how long has he been in England
Sounds like a Londoner to me.?
The way he says it too 😂 so calm and direct. love it
MEDIA WHO DONT EVEN RESEARCH… I WOULD HAVE KEPT QUITE COZ ITS NOT MY NAME…
Get him to Arsenal now Edu then they will know who Amadou is😂😂. Love this. Him and Rice will boss it.
He really went from Charleroi to Croydon in half a second
It does amaze me how so many of these guys speak multiple languages so easily and it really isn’t.
He is from Cameroon
That mate and do yknow wot I mean 😂
hahahaha…………… chapeau mate
the greatest moment of the Euros so far. I would get similar reactions when i would switch from a bad coventry accent to a northern french accent in pro clubs.
he was furious to be compared to Manchester United's Andre Onana 🤣🤣🤣🤣
