Manchester United are preparing for a demanding start to the new Premier League campaign under Ruben Amorim.
The club dealt with a handful of injury concerns last season, forcing adjustments to Ruben Amorims plans.
Summer arrivals have added fresh energy to the squad, but defensive stability and consistency between the posts remain a priority.
With Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens given the green light to a move to United, as exclusively revealed by CentreDevils, competition for the No 1 jersey is expected to intensify.
That makes the timing of Andre Onana’s return all the more significant for the Red Devils and their upcoming campaign.
The Cameroonian shot-stopper has made a swift return to training after suffering a hamstring injury earlier in pre-season.
Initial fears suggested the injury could be serious, potentially keeping Andre Onana out of the opening three league fixtures.
However, those concerns have now been eased following positive news from United’s medical staff.
It’s been confirmed that the 29-year-old did not suffer a hamstring tear, but instead sustained a less severe strain.
Onana has reportedly responded well to treatment and recovery, and his inclusion in the squad that travelled for United’s next friendly is a major boost.
Having joined the squad on their pre-season tour, the former Inter Milan goalkeeper is now officially back in training as he was seen in images posted by United’s X account.
The injury setback came at a difficult time, especially with new goalkeeping targets like Lammens being pursued by the club.
Senne Lammens, currently playing for Royal Antwerp, is seen as a young keeper with high potential and would likely be viewed as a long-term competitor for Onana.
Ruben Amorim is keen to establish a clear and reliable first-choice goalkeeper heading into the new season.
His return to fitness, coupled with potential reinforcements in the goalkeeping department, means Manchester United’s depth in this position could be stronger than it’s been in recent years.
Onana will now be desperate to reclaim his starting place and cement his status before any new arrivals make their mark.
High intensity is the order of the day 🔥
