Manchester United Goalkeeper Onana Ruled Out Of US Pre-Season Tour Due To Hamstring Injury

Manchester United's first-choice goalkeeper, Andre Onana, will miss the club's pre-season tour of the United States due to a hamstring injury sustained in training. Despite the injury sidelining him for approximately six to eight weeks and casting doubt on his availability for the Premier League opener against Arsenal, Onana will still travel with the squad to focus on rehabilitation. Ruben Amorim plans to start Altay Bayindir as goalkeeper in the Premier League Summer Series matches against West Ham, Bournemouth, and Everton, with veteran Tom Heaton serving as backup. Onana's 2024-25 season included conceding 44 goals, the 10th-highest in the league, and he made several errors leading to goals, but Amorim has publicly backed him as the first-choice keeper moving forward. The injury has intensified speculation about Manchester United potentially seeking new goalkeeping options, including reported interest in Botafogo's John Victor, as the club evaluates its depth behind Onana. United's other goalkeeping options remain largely untested, heightening the importance of the upcoming transfer decisions.
