Despite not playing a single one of United’s recent friendlies, the goalkeeper reportedly remains confident that he’ll be fit in time for the competitive fixtures.
Luckhurst adds that Onana has resumed goalkeeper training at United’s training ground, having only been involved in non-contact sessions whilst on tour with the club.

“I feel good, I feel great,” Onana said last week. “It’s been a few difficult weeks but, yes, hopefully, I will be back for the start of the season.
“I’m enjoying the training with my guys and we are looking forward.”
A return for Onana against Arsenal would be a boost for United, given the initial timeline suggested he wouldn’t be back until August 23rd at the very earliest. Even that would be a week too late to play against Mikel Arteta’s side.
