E never even tey wey Manchester United begin dey prepare for new season, and ghen ghen don already start. As e be now, dem first-choice goalkeeper, Andre Onana, don wound hamstring for training and he go miss pre-season tour wey go happen for U.S. E go dey out for 5–6 weeks, and dat one na serious gbege for Old Trafford.
Wetin really dey sup? TPB go yarn you everything wey dey happen now for Man United camp.
Onana Injury: Wahala No Small
Dem talk say during light training for Carrington, Onana do one kind sharp movement and him hamstring just pull like generator rope. Di medical team rush enter, check am, and immediately give am rest order.
Dem estimate say Onana no go dey fit touch ball till middle or late August. That means:
- He no go follow travel go U.S. pre-season tour
- He fit miss Premier League opener against Arsenal!
As Onana be their number one keeper, na big blow for Erik ten Hag and him boys.
Back-up Keepers: Wahala dey there too
Normally if No.1 keeper wound, you go expect say No.2 go dey ready. But for United, na another episode of “Who wan catch ball?”
Dem get:
- Altay Bayındır – the Turkish keeper wey dem sign but e never really show say he fit handle pressure.
- Tom Heaton – Veteran wey sabi the game, but age no dey on him side and fitness dey question mark.
So fans don dey para say:
“Abeg make una go market, this season no fit start with rookie keeper wey never taste top game pressure.”
Transfer Market Options
Because of this gbege, United dey reason make dem go buy new goalkeeper sharp-sharp. Names wey don enter the gossip space na:
- Diogo Costa from FC Porto
- Emiliano Martínez from Aston Villa
- Even rumours say dem dey monitor Keylor Navas as emergency plan.
But the wahala na money. United budget tight like waist trainer, and dem still dey find striker and one extra midfielder. So goalkeeper talk dey on hold small.
Pre-season Tour Wahala
United suppose go U.S. go play some hot pre-season matches. Matches like:
- vs Real Madrid
- vs AC Milan
- vs Inter Miami (Messi side)
But with Onana out, Bayındır or Heaton go handle post. Fans dey fear say na embarrassment go dey U.S. front if dem no shape up.
Even Erik ten Hag face don change. Dem catch am for press talk say:
“Yes, we go miss Andre, but the other keepers must be ready. This na big chance for dem.”
Chance wey fit turn to disgrace oh
TPB Final Tori
Manchester United dey enter this new season with serious expectations. Dem no win any trophy last season and fans don dey vex. Now wey their number one keeper don wound, pressure don double.
Dem go need:
- Fast recovery for Onana
- Sharp decision on signing another keeper
- Better performance from back-up goalkeepers
Because if Arsenal knack dem 4–0 for season opener, wahala go burst social media.
TPB go dey watch as e dey go. But one thing sure — Red Devils no fit afford to start this season with wahala.
