Onana’s return to training is a welcome boost for Manchester United, and the goalkeeper is gearing up intensively for the new season. Sesko, on the other hand, has yet to play a single minute of United’s pre-season, making the friendly match an ideal opportunity for him to get match-fit. Manager Ruben Amorim is keen to start both Onana and Sesko against Arsenal, and the closed-door friendly will give him a chance to fine-tune his starting XI.
The match will likely be against a local rival and will provide Onana and Sesko with vital match sharpness, boosting their fitness and confidence ahead of the season’s kickoff. With the Premier League opener against Arsenal just around the corner, Manchester United’s preparations are entering a crucial phase, and the closed-door friendly will be an important step in getting the team ready for the challenge ahead.
