Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has been ruled out of the club's preseason matches after suffering a hamstring injury that could sideline him for the start of the new campaign.
The 29-year-old Cameroonian international is expected to be out of action for four to six weeks, dealing a significant blow to new manager Ruben Amorim's preparations for the upcoming season.
According to reports from The Telegraph, Onana's injury comes amid speculation about his potential departure from Old Trafford this summer. Despite the transfer rumors, Onana had been expected to begin the new season as United's first-choice goalkeeper.
The injury setback may now force Amorim to consider recruiting a new goalkeeper in the summer transfer window. Currently, the other options available in the United squad include Altay Bayindir, Radek Vitek, and veteran Tom Heaton.
Manchester United's preseason schedule begins with a match against Leeds United on July 19, followed by a tour of the United States where they will face West Ham, Bournemouth, and Everton. The Red Devils will then return to Old Trafford for a friendly against Italian side Fiorentina on August 9.
This injury comes at a particularly challenging time for United, as the club reportedly has several senior players who have informed management of their desire to leave this summer, potentially triggering a significant squad overhaul under Amorim's leadership.
