Manchester United are continuing to regroup after their disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Arsenal on Sunday, with Ruben Amorim’s squad searching for answers ahead of a busy stretch of Premier League fixtures.
The Red Devils’ new signings have started to integrate into the team, and fans are watching closely to see how the attack shapes up after the arrivals of Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo.
Questions remain over squad balance, defensive stability, and how quickly players returning from injury can make an impact on matchday.
Goalkeeping has been a focal point, with scrutiny on who will start in goal and whether the position remains a priority for reinforcements in what remains of the summer transfer window.
Fans and pundits alike are analysing performances after the opening weekend, particularly following the corner that led to Arsenal’s winning goal, which put spotlight on United’s defensive coordination.
Amid the debate, Andre Onana retains the full confidence of manager Ruben Amorim, with talkSPORT highlighting that the Cameroon international performs strongly based on key statistical metrics when compared with most Premier League goalkeepers.
Andre Onana missed all of pre-season due to injury, leaving understudy Altay Bayindir to start against Arsenal.
Despite the error that led to the goal, Amorim publicly backed Bayindir, emphasising his belief in the Turkish goalkeeper’s potential and long-term value to the squad.

According to talkSPORT, Andre Onana is expected to return to the starting XI for the trip to Fulham this weekend, signalling a boost for the defensive setup and providing reassurance for supporters concerned about recent lapses.
While a new number one is not considered a transfer priority for the remainder of the window, Onana’s recovery and readiness will be closely monitored, with his return seen as vital for stability at the back.
His presence is expected to restore confidence among the backline and give Amorim more tactical flexibility, while also allowing Bayindir to continue developing without undue pressure.
United’s clash at Craven Cottage offers an immediate opportunity to see Onana back in action and test whether he can help the Red Devils secure their first league points of the season.
