“Our Prayers Don Dey Work”: Man United Fans React to Andre Onana’s Injury Ahead of 2025/26 EPL

• Manchester United's first-choice goalkeeper, Andre Onana has been ruled out of the entire pre-season
• The Cameroonian participated in the first team training session at Carrington Training Ground on Monday, July 7
• The future of the former Inter Milan keeper is in doubt following United's link to Aston Villa's Emi Martinez

Andre Onana will not be available for Manchester United during the pre-season tour after suffering a hamstring tear during training.

The Cameroonian goalkeeper has been sidelined for between four to six weeks, which means he will not be available for the 2025/26 English Premier League matches against Arsenal and Fulham.

The 29-year-old is responding to treatments and will travel for the pre-season in America during his recovery period.

Manchester United will begin with a friendly match against newly-promoted Leeds United on July 19 before commencing their Summer Series against West Ham, Bournemouth, Everton, and Fiorentina, per BBC.

Second-choice goalkeeper Altay Bayindir will step in for the injured Onana, while Tom Heaton will be on standby before the transfer window closes, according to Daily Mail.

Meanwhile, Onana set a news record in European competition, becoming the first goalkeeper to lose three finals with three different clubs after Manchester United lost to Tottenham 1-0 in last season's Europa League final.

Man United shop for new goalkeepers

Argentine goalkeeper Emi Martinez has been identified as the replacement for out-of-favour Andre Onana.

According Footballinsider247, the World Cup winner is likely to sign for the Red Devils following Aston Villa's failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

Another goalkeeper on the radar of the 20-time EPL champions is John Victor of Botafogo.

According to the Utd District, the 29-year-old guided his team to win the Serie A and the Copa Libertadores last year, also listed in the Team of the Year for both competitions.

United are willing to trigger the £6 million release clause for the Brazilian.
