Andre Onana is set to hand Manchester United a major injury boost ahead of their Premier League game against Everton this Sunday. The 27-year-old had sparked fears last week when he was forced off during Cameroon’s clash with Mauritius.
However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Onana is now ready to declare himself fit. This is likely to be a welcome relief to Erik ten Hag who identified the former Ajax No.1 as the ideal replacement for club legend David de Gea when he transferred in the summer.
United are also hopeful of being able to select Luke Shaw for the first time since August. The England left-back has returned to full fitness and took part in first team training on Wednesday, overseen by fellow defender Lisandro Martinez who is hoping to make his comeback from a broken foot in the New Year.
Other injury concerns include Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund, both of whom are likely to be unavailable. Mason Mount is likely to be afforded an opportunity to stake a claim for a regular midfield place, while Anthony Martial is likely to lead United’s attack given Marcus Rashford’s failure to impress in a central striking role earlier this season.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s plans to copy the Chelsea blueprint at Manchester United and the news that former Chelsea boss Graham Potter has turned down the Sweden job in preference for returning to club management may also have an impact on United’s fortunes in the coming weeks.
