Andr\u00e9 Onana<\/a> is ready to start for Manchester United<\/a> against Arsenal<\/a> on Sunday, sources have told ESPN, with the decision now resting with head coach Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n

Onana has missed United’s preseason schedule with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

But after returning to training, sources have told ESPN that the 29-year-old feels ready to start the Premier League<\/a> opener at Old Trafford on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Amorim faces a decision about whether to throw Onana straight back into the team.<\/p>\n

Second-choice Altay Bayindir<\/a> and 39-year-old Tom Heaton<\/a> have shared the responsibility in goal for friendlies against Leeds United<\/a>, West Ham United<\/a>, Bournemouth<\/a>, Everton<\/a> and Fiorentina<\/a> over the summer.<\/p>\n

Bayindir has started both the last two preseason games against Everton in Atlanta and Fiorentina at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Onana was training on the grass with coaches during the tour of the U.S. but didn’t feature in any of the three games.<\/p>\n

He’s stepped up his workload in the last 10 days since returning from America and, according to sources, has put himself in contention to start against Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Amorim and his staff are set to assess Onana’s fitness and readiness to play a Premier League match over the next 48 hours before making a decision about whether to select the Cameroon<\/a> international or stick with Bayindir.<\/p>\n

Onana, meanwhile, is convinced that he will stay at United this season.<\/p>\n

United have been linked with other goalkeepers during the transfer window and had a loan bid for Emiliano Mart\u00ednez<\/a> turned down by Aston Villa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The club have distanced themselves from reports that they could make a move for Gianluigi Donnarumma<\/a>, who is surplus to requirements at Paris Saint-Germain<\/a>, and are now focusing on other priorities.<\/p>\n

Their aim before the end of the window is to find exit routes for a number of senior players including Alejandro Garnacho<\/a>, Antony<\/a>, Jadon Sancho<\/a> and Tyrell Malacia<\/a> and potentially use any funds raised to go back into the market for a young, dynamic central midfielder.<\/p>\n

Interest in Brighton<\/a>‘s Carlos Baleba<\/a> remains, but it’s considered a difficult deal to do at this stage of the summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andr\u00e9 Onana is ready to start for Manchester United against Arsenal on Sunday, sources have told ESPN, with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":70731,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-70730","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70730"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70730\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70731"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
