Since Andre Onana is now back fit, as Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim maintains, then we should see the No. 1 goalkeeper return to action at Fulham FC. It should be back to the bench for Altay Bayindir then, and that’s a good thing, considering his costly gaffe against Arsenal in the season opener. If Onana had recovered from his hamstring injury in time to start opening day, would that have made a difference? Enough to get at least a point? What about all three points?
A loss is a loss, but United did dominate possession on Sunday. They had a decided advantage in shots and shots on goal too.
