Supporters have reacted with near-unanimous delight at the news Onana may be missing.
@IamthebangK said: "Good news, I hope he never starts for a few game too. We're tired of his errors."
@daniels21220856 wrote: "Keep him away from the goal, better get any other goalie in!"
@IkehJesus said: "The best news I have heard today."
@Rayinatorsport added: "Ik some of the fans are going to be celebrating this and I would be okay with this. But if Bayindir and Heaton are out who on earth are we playing?"
@AaronMain7 said: "No Onana in goal today, actually excited to see a youth player in goal and see how he does."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Onana has played in every Premier League game thus far this season and has conceded 40 goals. He has kept a total of seven clean sheets. Mee, by comparison, is a Northern Ireland U21 international, who has fast become the Red Devils' No.1 at U21 level.

United are 15th but can move as high as 13th with a victory. The Foxes, by comparison, are 19th and staring down the barrel of relegation; they are nine points from safety.
