It’s all done and dusted as Andre Onana has left Manchester United to join Turkish club Trabzonspor on loan. Earlier, it was reported that Manchester United had made an agreement with Trabzonspor as they wanted to offload Onana from the squad. This time, the Manchester United fans can consider Andre Onana as a loanee to Trabzonspor. After signing Belgian talented goalkeeper Senne Lammens from Antwerp, the pressure was clearly on Onana. The Cameroon international has failed to earn the respect of the supporters throughout the past two seasons. Since replacing David De Gea, Onana has turned out to be a complete flop at the legacy club from Manchester.
Andre Onana was Manchester United’s Easiest Scapegoat
Andre Onana was performing at a great level at Inter Milan before joining Manchester United as their new first-choice goalkeeper. The expectation levels are always high at a stature of club like Manchester United. De Gea left the Old Trafford as a legend of the club. He was the last representative of the 2013 Premier League winning Manchester United side. Throughout the last decade, the Spanish custodian has saved Manchester United countless times. So, Onana had to live up to the same level that De Gea has maintained to keep for season after season. But he failed. Andre Onana felt the hit from his very first season as a ‘Red Devil’. Although the fans were patient with him but he kept repeating the same silly mistakes time after time. Manchester United were already in a horrible state under Erik Ten Hag. Cristiano Ronaldo had just left Carrington after heavily criticising the club’s mismanagement. Manchester United became a ship without its radar. And from there, Onana’s performance took a further downfall. Manchester United had to lose valuable points due to his childish mistakes. Just within two seasons, fans totally turned against him. While Manchester United were hoping to start with better results this season, the club got knocked out from the second round of the Carabao Cup. To be honest, Manchester United conceded both the two goals due to Onana’s fumbling. While the club brought in Lammens, they had to victimise Onana. To maintain a proper balance in the team, the Red Devils have decided to let go of Andre Onana on loan.
A Loan Move from Old Trafford Has Helped Manchester United Players
During his time at the club, Erik Ten Hag pointed out Cristiano Ronaldo as the ‘problem’ in the dressing room. While Ronaldo exposed the disorganised system of Manchester United management later on. Now, is the club itself the ‘problem’? In the last two seasons, whoever had gone to another club on a season-long loan deal, they went on to have a breakthrough once again. When Jadon Sancho rejoined Borussia Dortmund on loan, the English winger had a fantastic season there. People got back their prime Sancho. The same has happened for Marcus Rashford. The Manchester United academy product wasn’t getting much gametime under Ruben Amorim. So he moved to Aston Villa last season on loan. At Aston Villa, English fans witnessed the sensational form of Rashford. Now Barcelona have got him on loan for this season. But a particular player had a complete reincarnation after going out on a loan deal from the Old Trafford. Antony had a season to forget at Manchester United before making a move to Real Betis. While many assumed that the Brazilian would also fail at Spain also, Antony proved them all wrong. Antony changed the game for Real Betis. Antony’s instant impact took Betis to the final of the UEFA Conference League which they lost against Chelsea. Most importantly, Antony started playing like his time at Ajax. Will the same pattern go on with Onana’s career? Well, Andre Onana will really hope to have a breakthrough season at Trabzonspor.
