Andre Onana of Manchester United training
Manchester United will report that no goalkeeper Andre Onana will participate in the Premier League match against Arsenal today.
The Red Devils hosted the Gunners at Old Trafford for their opening remarks of their 2025/26 campaign, but they will have to do so without a goalkeeper with the first choice.
See David Ornstein below for posting information about fitness on X, saying Cameroon International has been training but is not ready to play for the club as he continues to work hard to get back to full health.

Will Manchester United play Arsenal in Miss Andre Onana?
Onana had critics during her time at United, so if he missed today’s game, there would be a lot of fans who would be bothered.
Indeed, there might even be one or two Arsenal fans cursing their luck because Onana is particularly prone to errors and may be able to give the Gunners a target in this game.
Altay Bayindir is Manchester United’s backup guardian and his performance will be interesting if he starts as expected.
United and Arsenal’s new signature
This afternoon, there will be an exciting match between the two Premier League giants, with many new signings on display.
The Red Devils brought Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, while Arsenal added Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Christian Norgaard and Cristhian Mosquera, although it’s unclear that all of them will start the game.
With the new striker arriving in the Premier League with a huge reputation, Gyokeres vs Sesko will be one of the most compelling battles.
