Big shocking news has just come that Manchester United have agreed to let go of Andre Onana on a loan deal to Trabzonspor. It is true that the Turkish club has been trying now for sometimes to get Onana from Manchester United. But, no one actually expected Manchester United to accept the deal this fast. The goalkeeping position has become the most vulnerable spot in the whole squad for some seasons now. Manchester United think tank finally decided to get a new custodian this season. Belgian talent Senne Lammens has joined the club on a long-term deal. Both Onana and Bayindir weren’t good enough beneath the post and the Red Devils have now reportedly agreed to offload their first-choice goalkeeper on a loan move.
None Will Miss Andre Onana if He Leaves
Andre Onana arrived at Manchester United as the ‘perfect’ goalkeeper to replace club legend David de Gea. It was Erik Ten Hag who played the key role in bringing in Onana to this club. He even considered Onana to be better than De Gea at that time. Now, Andre Onana is set to leave Manchester United just after spending two seasons. Ironically, the player who replaced David de Gea is now going to be replaced by Senne Lammens. But this was going to happen as the Cameroon international hasn’t pulled off any solid performances in these two years at Manchester United. In contrast, Manchester United have suffered many times due to the shambolic goalkeeping of Andre Onana. Even in his potential last appearance for the club, Andre Onana conceded two silly goals against the fourth-tier club, Grimsby Town in the first round of the Carabao Cup. The whole Manchester United fanbase around the world is already furious with Andre Onana’s commitment to their club. But the club was still taking time in making a decision on Onana’s future. Now, the fans are celebrating this unexpected and shocking news like a ‘personal win’. Certain football pundits also feel that Onana’s departure will make things easy for Manchester United.

Trabzonspor Are the Latest Club to Upgrade the Turkish League
Football is growing more and more in these recent years. Saudi Arabia and the USA are the two biggest examples here. Now, the Turkish league has joined those leagues in terms of upgrading its quality and exposure. The two heavyweights of the league, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe have included some top quality footballers from several European clubs. Especially Galatasaray have broken the bank and are eyeing to have a solid run in their UEFA Champions League campaign. The club has successfully kept Victor Osimhen on a permanent move. But in the last week of the transfer window, Galatasaray have made the headlines by signing Gundogan from Manchester City. Although arch-rivals Fenerbahçe have sacked Jose Mourinho after failing to qualify for this year’s Champions League, the club has signed Marco Asensio from PSG. They have also brought in Ederson, Amrabat and Milan Skriniar this season. Now, if Andre Onana agrees to play for Trabzonspor, surely the Turkish league is going to be a league to watch out for.
Manchester United Can Live Without Andre Onana
Manchester United have had a tough week already this season. The Red Devils have tasted a defeat, a draw and a victory in their first three matches of the English Premier League. The club is already out of the Carabao Cup. Manchester United don’t have UEFA competitions either. But, Ruben Amorim wants to utilise this into building a solid squad for the future. But it’s indeed a tough challenge. The high-profile front three of Manchester United are yet to combine well and score goals. With the signing of Lammens, the Manchester United board feel that they have completed all the requirements needed to reach that level. The Red Devils will travel to the Etihad to face a struggling Manchester City. It is almost certain that Manchester United will start Lammens from now on. It’s up to Andre Onana whether he agrees to join Trabzonspor or decides to sit on the bench for the rest of the season.
