Coach Ruben Amorim said that two MU stars promptly returned in the competition with Arsenal in the first round of the Premier League 2025/26. However, there are also 2 cases that will continue to be absent.
Next Sunday, right in the first round of the Premier League, MU faced great challenges when welcoming the reigning Arsenal runner -up. With what shown last season, the Red Devils were clearly underestimated than the opponent.
On the eve of the match MU vs Arsenal, coach Ruben Amorim welcomed the good news when the Joshua Zirkzee and Andre Onana players would return. The duo of this player was absent in all the friendly matches before the Red Devils' season because of injury.
Besides, the rookie striker worth 85 million euros Benjamin Sesko is also ready to play. The Portuguese captain emphasized: “Joshua Zirkzee and Andre Onana both recovered and ready to play. Let's wait and see.
In the opposite direction, the Portuguese strategist said Lisandro Martinez and Noussair Mazraoui will continue to be absent from the injury: “Nous and Licha will still sit outside.”
In friendly matches before the season, Amorim used alternately two goalkeepers Tom Heaton and Altay Bayindir. It is still unclear whether the 40 -year -old military leader will bring Onana back to the wooden frame or continue to use goalkeeper 2 Bayindir. There is even an opinion that Heaton should be used for the very high safety that he once shown when he was given the opportunity.
For his part, Zirkzee did not meet expectations last season. The Dutch striker may be named in the MU vs Arsenal match list but it is difficult to compete with the main kick with Rasmus Hojlund or Benjamin Sesko.
