Andre Onana is set to hand Manchester United a major injury boost by declaring himself fit and available for Sunday’s Premier League game against Everton.
Despite his struggles since his high-profile transfer from Inter in the summer, Onana has remained an ever-present for Erik ten Hag who identified his former Ajax No.1 as the ideal replacement for club legend David de Gea.
The 27-year-old, however, sparked fears last week that he would be unfit for what is likely to be a testing trip to Goodison Park when he was forced off during Cameroon’s clash with Mauritius last Friday.
Summer signing Altay Bayindir had been lined-up to make his first appearance for his new club following his move from Fenerbahce but, according to Fabrizio Romano, Onana is ready to declare himself fit.
United are also hopeful of being able to select Luke Shaw for the first time since August with the England left-back having returned to full fitness.

Shaw took part in first team training on Wednesday for a session which was overseen by fellow defender Lisandro Martinez who is hoping to make his comeback from a broken foot in the New Year.
United to have a number of other injury concerns with Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund both likely to be unavailable.
