Onana Benched, Hojlund Left Out…
Ruben Amorim revealed that Andre Onana was sidelined for Man United’s clash with Arsenal due to the impressive pre-season performances from other goalkeepers. It seems Onana’s injury-free yet allusive play is as rare as sighting Bigfoot playing chess. Despite his absence in pre-season games, Amorim preferred Altay Bayindir as starting choice and had Tom Heaton warm the bench. Amorim assured fans Onana’s fitness wasn’t the issue, saying, “No, he recovered. But the others did so well during pre-season, so I need to balance that.”
Rasmus Hojlund was also absent from the squad, seemingly slipping away faster than ice cream on a summer sidewalk given the arrival of Benjamin Sesko. Amorim remarked it’s still all about the best picks per game, so next week’s lineup could look like a penguin wearing cowboy boots—unpredictable and entertaining. Whether Onana and Hojlund will grace the field for the upcoming Fulham match remains a tantalizing mystery.
