Manchester United are ready to play Fulham on Sunday afternoon – with Ruben Amorim facing one or two key selection decisions.\"BenjaminBenjamin Sesko could make his full debut for Man Utd against Fulham.(Image: PA)<\/p>\n

Manchester United players have shared several hints about their potential involvement vs Fulham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

United<\/a> have a 21-player squad that’s travelled down to London<\/a> for their first away match of the Premier League<\/a> season. Andre Onana<\/a> is the notable inclusion after not being involved in the opening weekend defeat to Arsenal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Head coach Ruben Amorim<\/a> faces a decision over which goalkeeper starts with the Cameroon international now deemed fit. Altay Bayindir<\/a> was at fault for the only goal vs Arsenal at Old Trafford<\/a> a week ago, but Onana has not played since late May due to sustaining a pre-season hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

Of the two, Bayindir has posted a matchday graphic on his Instagram<\/a> story. He’s among seven players who have done so by Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

Benjamin Sesko<\/a> has also posted after making his United debut as a substitute against the Gunners – as has Bryan Mbeumo<\/a> – while Matheus Cunha<\/a> reposted United’s official one which features him.<\/p>\n

Patrick Dorgu<\/a> also liked the club’s post and shared a post of his own. Diogo Dalot<\/a> has also done likewise, which suggests both wing-backs will retain their places despite Amad<\/a> replacing the latter ten minutes into the second half last weekend.<\/p>\n

Manuel Ugarte<\/a> also came on for Casemiro<\/a> midway through the second half – introduced alongside new signing Sesko, who replaced Mason Mount<\/a>. The Brazilian, however, is another United player to post a matchday graphic.<\/p>\n

Only four players who started last weekend have not posted; Bruno Fernandes<\/a>, Luke Shaw<\/a>, Matthijs de Ligt<\/a> and Mount. The former came off for Harry Maguire<\/a> with ten minutes remaining against Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Others in the travelling squad who have not done so are Amad, Ayden Heaven<\/a>, Maguire, Joshua Zirkzee<\/a>, Kobbie Mainoo<\/a>, Onana, Tom Heaton<\/a>, Tyler Fredricson<\/a> and Ugarte. Lisandro Martinez<\/a> and Noussair Mazraoui<\/a> both remain out through injury – the latter potentially returning next weekend.<\/p>\n
