JAKARTA - Andre Onana is ready to start for Manchester United against Arsenal on Sunday, August 17, 2025. The decision is now in the hands of head coach Ruben Amorim.

Onana is absent from Manchester United's pre-season schedule due to a hamstring injury. However, after returning to training, ESPN reported that the 29-year-old felt ready to start in the Premier League opener at Old Trafford.

Amoritism menghadapi keputusan apakah langsung masuk Onana kembali ke dalam tim atau tidak.

The second goalkeeper, Altay Bayindir, and 39-year-old Tom Heaton have shared their responsibilities as goalkeepers for a friendly against Leeds United, West Ham United, Bournemouth, Everton, and Fiorentina over the summer.

Infantir has started the last two pre-season games against Everton in Atlanta and Fiorentina at Old Trafford.

Onana trained on the grass field with the coaches during the United States tour but did not appear in the three matches.

He has increased his training burden in the last 10 days since returning from the United States. He is rumored to have placed himself in competition to start against Arsenal.

Her ambition and staff will assess Onana's fitness and readiness to play in the Premier League games in the next 48 hours before deciding whether to choose the Cameroonian player or to continue using the baby.

Meanwhile, Onana is confident that she will stay at Manchester United this season amid rumors of an approach to Gianluigi Donnarumma (Paris Saint-Germain).

However, the Red Devils began to slowly retreat from their relationship with Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Even so, they are now focused on other priorities. Manchester United is also very active in hunting for other goalkeepers during the transfer market, such as giving up a loan offer for Emiliano Martinez which Aston Villa finally refused. However, the situation still made Onana undaunted.

Despite the goalkeeper's position, Manchester United are now also focusing on releasing several players.

Their goal before the transfer market closed was to find a way out for a number of senior players, including Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Total Malacia.

They could potentially use the funds raised from the sale to return to the transfer market to recruit dynamic young midfielders.

Carlos Baleba's interest in Brighton is still there, but this transfer is considered difficult to make at this summer stage.
