Andre Onana cannot participate in Manchester United's pre-season tour due to a hamstring injury sustained during training. He will still join the squad in the U.S. for recovery while Altay Bayindir is expected to step up as the primary goalkeeper. Onana's injury raises uncertainty over the need for a new goalkeeper and comes amid previous doubts about Bayindir's position. Other goalkeeping options include young players with no senior experience. Manchester United's pre-season includes matches against rivals and culminates with a game against Arsenal in the Premier League.
Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana will not play on the club's pre-season tour of the United States after suffering a hamstring injury in training. The Cameroon international will still travel to America for the three-game Premier League Summer Series later in July, but his time will be spent on recovery. This means Altay Bayindir is likely to be Ruben Amorim's first-choice goalkeeper in pre-season.
Onana's injury raises questions about whether Manchester United will need to acquire another goalkeeper. There was speculation at the end of last season regarding potential alternatives for the position, particularly following Onana’s mistakes.
Former England international Tom Heaton signed a new one-year extension this week. Other goalkeeping options available include Radek Vitek, Hubert Graczyk, Elyh Harrison, and Dermot Mee, who lack senior experience.
Manchester United opens their pre-season campaign against Leeds on July 19, with additional matches scheduled against West Ham, Bournemouth, and Everton in the United States from July 27 to August 3.
