Manchester United set to turn to 22-year-old goalkeeper who last played in National League with Andre Onana to miss Leicester clash
Yesterday at 09:43 AM
Under-21 goalkeeper Dermot Mee, 22, is set to make his Manchester United debut at Leicester tonight, talkSPORT understands.
Birmingham-born Mee’s last senior game was on loan at National League Altrincham last season.
Andre Onana will travel to the King Power Stadium but faces a late fitness test and sources have told talkSPORT he will not be put at any risk of a longer lay-off.
Should Onana miss the clash against the Foxes, it would also place a major doubt on his participation with Cameroon in the international break.
Onana was called up by Cameroon for their upcoming clashes with Eswatini and Libya.
Should Onana miss Sunday’s game, it would be the first Premier League game he will be absent from this season.
United go into the clash against the Foxes sitting 15th in the league following Everton’s draw with West Ham United on Saturday.
As for Leicester, they sit 19th and have lost 12 of their last 13 in the league.
Mee has been on the bench for United’s last three fixtures across all competitions.
He has featured seven times for the Red Devils’ Under-21 side, with five appearances in the Premier League 2 and two in the EFL Trophy.
One of those was a win over Doncaster Rovers via penalty shootout.
