Manchester United’s goalkeeper Andre Onana was included in the traveling team for the trip to London while the Red Devils are preparing to face Fulham in the Premier League.
According to journalist Sam Cohen, the 29-year-old stop-stopper, went on the team’s coach and makes the trip to the south with his teammates.
Although his presence with the team has been confirmed, there is still no official clarity as for whether he will receive a starting role at Craven Cottage.
The manager of United, Ruben Amorim, should make a late decision on the situation of the goalkeeper, with the involvement of Onana according to a certain number of tactical and fitness considerations.
Andre Onana was out of the Man United team last week
Amorim made the decision not to include Onana in the first match of Man United’s season against Arsenal.
It was a match in which the goalkeeper Uni Altay Bayindir made a mistake that finally led Arsenal to score the only goal of the match via Riccardo Calafiori.
Bayindir failed to cope with a ball in the box and Arsenal, which is well known to enjoy the rescue situations, took advantage of it and marked to ensure a famous victory at Old Trafford.
The shock of this weekend with Fulham arrives at a crucial moment for United, who is impatient to find consistency after a trembling start to the season.
Onana could still have a future in Old Trafford
Although they have shown promising signs in attack by the presence of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, they need points on the table soon to start their season and put pressure for a place in the Champions League next season.
The presence of Onana in the itinerant party suggests at least that it remains firmly in the thoughts of Amorim while the club seeks to take momentum.
Unless they move dramatic in the last days of the transfer window, United should play this season with Onana and Bayindir as goalkeeper options.
