Fulham Vs Man United: Reluctant To Comment Whether Onana Will Be A Starter

Andre Onana is fit, but not necessarily a Manchester United starter against Fulham (Instagram/@andreonana.24).

Ruben Amorim has confirmed that Andre Onana is fit to face Fulham on Sunday, August 24, 2025, WIB. However, the Manchester United coach did not mention that the Cameroonian player would replace Altay Bayindir.

Bayindir's mistake against Arsenal contributed to a 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford in the opening week of the Premier League.

Onana was not played in the match after only following three training sessions following a hamstring injury that kept her out of the entire pre-season schedule.

The 29-year-old is ready to face Fulham but speaks at a press conference on Friday, August 22, 2025, Amorim declined to confirm whether the goalkeeper would return to Craven Cottage or not.

"Onana is ready to play like last week. So, we'll see later who will be the goalkeeper."

"Fulhams are always difficult to fight. They have a clear identity. They are very comfortable because they have experience, they understand this league."

"They will feel comfortable and relaxed, so it will be a tough game," said Amorim.

Manchester United has been linked with the move of Royalikarp goalkeeper Senne Lammens, although ESPN reports that there is no indication Onana will leave before the transfer deadline.

Priority in the last days of the transfer market continues to strive for the departure of senior players who are currently not members of the Amorious squad.

Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony, and Total Malacia are all surplus players and train separately from the main squad.

"I know it's not a good thing to have players in this situation, but obviously they want to play in other clubs and that's clear."

"So, we try to arrange everything so that both sides are happy. I have to try to imagine practicing with the players who I think will be the future and the other players train and prepare for the next round."

"When the transfer market is closed, the history is different. When the transfer market is closed, we have to accept the players. In a new life, anything can happen," said Amorim.

Rasmus Hojlund is another player available for sale after Benjamin Sesko's arrival from RB Leipzig.

Amoritam said the striker remained professional even though he was not included in the squad to face Arsenal. There is interest from Napoli, but an agreement has not been reached.

"Let's wait until the transfer market closes and everything will be clear," said the Portuguese coach.
