Trouble for Arsenal: Onana expected to be ready for Man United opening game of the season
Onana has come under criticism for his performance last season and was linked with a move away from the club, with reports claiming he will be replaced this summer.
However, the Manchester United goalkeeper suffered a hamstring injury, and early reports suggested he would be sidelined for around six weeks, meaning he would miss the first few weeks of the season.
Onana could return early
According to reports from Sportal, further examinations have revealed that he has only suffered a strain, not a tear, as initially suspected.
The keeper is responding well to treatment and is likely to recover much faster than initially anticipated.
Onana will travel with the team for their pre-season tour of the US but will not play in the first two matches against West Ham and Bournemouth.
The Red Devils' staff are hopeful that he will be available for the game against Everton or, at the very latest, the final pre-season friendly against Fiorentina at Old Trafford.
Manchester United kick off their season against Arsenal on August 17th. The team has already secured the signing of Matheus Cunha, but hopes of landing Bryan Mbeumo seem to be fading after weeks without significant progress on the deal, with neither side appearing ready to compromise.
