Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana is included in the travel force for a trip to London as the Red Devils prepare to face Fulham in the Premier League.
According to journalist Sam Cohen, the 29-year-old shotstopper has been on a team coach and travels south with his teammates.
His presence is now confirmed, but there is no official clarity yet as to whether he will take on the first role in Craven Cottage.
United manager Reuben Amorim is expected to make a late decision on the goalkeeper situation, and Onana’s involvement relies on many tactical and fitness considerations.
Andre Onana went outside the Man United team last week.
Amorim has made the decision not to include Onana in Man United’s first match of the season against Arsenal.
It was a match that led to United goalkeeper Altai Bayindeal making a mistake and ultimately Arsenal scored the only goal of the match through Riccardo Carafioli.
Bayindir failed to handle the ball in the box and famously made the most of the set piece situation, Arsenal took full advantage and scored to ensure the famous victory at Old Trafford.
The clash with Fulham this weekend is a key time for United, who wants to find consistency following a volatile start to the season.
Onana may still have a future in Old Trafford
They showed promising signs of attack through the presence of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, but they soon start the season and need a point on the table to push their place in the Champions League next season.
Onana’s presence at the travel party suggests that at least he remains firmly in Amorim’s mind when the club appears to build momentum.
Unless it makes a dramatic move in the final days of the Transfer Window, United will be playing both Onana and Bay Indil as goalkeeping options this season.
