Erik ten Hag is asking the fans to give André Onana some time. The goalkeeper has had an unfortunate start at Manchester United and has made several mistakes in recent months. According to Ten Hag, this is part of his adjustment period.

He knows it, and we know it too," Ten Hag said at the press conference about Onana's less successful period. "Like every player in the Premier League, he also needs an adjustment period. He needs to shape the future by delivering better performances, and I know he will do that. Onana has already proven himself at Barcelona, Ajax, and Internazionale, and he will do the same with us.
Saturday sees Manchester United take on Sheffield United in the Premier League. For that match, Ten Hag won't have Casemiro available due to a minor injury. 'I think he'll be back for the next games; he will be fit very soon.' He also indicated that Sofyan Amrabat is fit again, and both Raphaël Varane and Sergio Reguilón will also be available.
Lindelöf
Additionally, Victor Lindelöf is in the United squad. He has just experienced the terrible tragedy in Belgium but has decided he wants to play. 'It was a distressing experience for Victor. As captain of Sweden, he had to take the lead and give statements everywhere. He was exhausted and hadn't slept. But he's back now, has trained, and is full of energy to play this match.'
Sancho
Ten Hag was also asked about the situation with Jadon Sancho, but the Englishman remains outside Manchester United's selection. 'Everything that could be said about him has been said,' was Ten Hag's brief response. Sancho and Ten Hag have been at odds for some time following a public dispute.
