<p>In a boost for both Onana and United, the 29-year-old's injury may not be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/andre-onana-forced-out-of-man-utd-s-pre-season-injury-ruben-amorim-sign-new-goalkeeper-after-all/bltf0bc8c2a7fed1510" target="_blank">as serious as initially feared,</a> report <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-united-andre-onana-injury-35571342" target="_blank"><em>The Mirror</em>,</a> who state the injury is a hamstring strain rather than a tear. Onana is set to travel out to meet the squad for their Premier League Summer Series fixtures in the USA and reportedly may be in contention for a return to action in his side's third fixture of the tour, taking place in Atlanta against Everton on August 3.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>United have been linked with Aston Villa goalkeeper Martinez for a number of weeks amid rumours that the Argentine World Cup winner is open to a new challenge. Onana is believed to want to stay at Old Trafford, but an extended injury lay-off could have given the Cameroon international a more difficult task to regain the No. 1 shirt if a new goalkeeper was brought in.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Third-choice Tom Heaton recently signed a new one-year contract with the club, meaning one of Onana or Bayindir may be required to depart if a new goalkeeper is brought in.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The former Ajax and Inter Milan goalkeeper may face a battle on his hands to remain first-choice at Old Trafford for much longer, regardless of his injury. This may be a make-or-break season for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-urged-replace-andre-onana-move-forward/bltc5ca9c4d231260f3#csbab8b7942a1c3527" target="_blank">the much-criticised shot-stopper</a> if Ruben Amorim does decide to give him another chance when United return to Premier League action, beginning with Arsenal's visit on August 17.</p>
