Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana believes three of his teammates could struggle this season.
United head into the new Premier League campaign with no European football after finishing eighth in the standings last season.
Erik ten Hag has revamped his squad during Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s first summer as co-owner of the club adding Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui to his ranks.

Onana heads into his second season in English football after recovering from a difficult start to life at Old Trafford with some markedly improved showings during the final months of the season.
The former Inter Milan goalkeeper is now viewed as one of the leaders in the United dressing room and admits the upcoming season could be difficult for some of the club’s younger stars.
Onana named Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo and Amad as three younger members who must be supported and given time to realise their potential.

“We have Kobbie [Mainoo], we have Garna [Alejandro Garnacho], we have Amad,” he told ManUtd.com
“I think that's something nice, and we will give them time. You have to know the Premier League is not easy, it is the biggest competition in the world, so this season might be difficult for them, but they are young, we will give them time.
"We, as leaders, have the responsibility and it doesn't matter what happens, we'll be there to support them in each situation."

Onana lifted a trophy in his first season at the club as United defeated rivals Manchester City to win the FA Cup at Wembley.
The Cameroonian admitted he was hungry for more trophies and wants to challenge for the title this year.
He added: “It’s not enough. Being a Manchester United player, you must win everything. You have to try and win everything. Each year you have to at least try to have one trophy.
"Now big opportunities are coming, so we have to take the opportunity, because it's time to do everything on the pitch. When I see how we are training, when I see how my players are working hard, I'm very positive.

"We want to win everything. That's what we came here for. We want to fight for the Premier League, we want to fight for the Europa League. We want to fight for the Carabao Cup, we want to fight for the FA Cup, because it's very important for us as a club."
