Manchester United goalkeeper crisis: Onana is injured, the start of the new season is in lingering!

Manchester United suffered a heavy blow in the goalkeeper position. Main goalkeeper Andre Onana unfortunately pulled the hamstring in recent training and is expected to miss 6 to 8 weeks. This means he is likely to miss the opening stage of the new Premier League season, including the opening match against Arsenal on August 17, which undoubtedly casts a shadow on the team's preparations.

coach Ruben Amorin is facing a severe test and he must quickly decide whether to introduce a new goalkeeper to ensure the team has enough goalkeeper choices in the upcoming US preseason tour. Currently available goalkeepers on the team include Altai Beindir and Tom Heaton, and young goalkeeper Radek Wittke, who has just returned from loan from Austria, is also expected to get a chance to play in pre-season friendly matches.

However, Beindeer's form fluctuates greatly this season and has not yet won the trust of the coaching staff. Previously, despite frequent low-level mistakes since Onana's transfer from Inter Milan, Manchester United does not seem to be in a hurry to find a replacement. During Eric Tenhager's coaching period, Onana once lost her main position, and her recent performance in the Europa League against Lyon was also disappointing.

Faced with the sudden goalkeeper crisis, Manchester United has turned their attention to the transfer market, with potential recruitment targets including Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez and Lill's Lucas Cevalier. However, negotiations with Villa were at a deadlock on Martinez, and the two sides still had major differences on the transfer fee issue.

Manchester United is eager to determine the final candidate for goalkeeper position before the start of the pre-season friendly match, thus fully preparing for all competitions in the 2025/26 season. The stability of the goalkeeper will directly affect the team's performance in the new season.
