Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana is heading to Trabzonspor on loan for this season so that he can play regularly.
Andre Onana is not a key player for Manchester United anymore, especially after the arrival of Senne Lammens. The Cameroonian international would have had to sit on the bench if he stayed at Old Trafford, and the impending move to Turkiye would be ideal for him.
The transfer to Trabzonspor is now imminent, and he will look to revive his career away from Old Trafford. According to a report by Football Insider, Manchester United are now hoping that Onana can perform at a high level so that they can sell him for a sizeable fee next summer.
Onana has a contract at Old Trafford until 2028, but Manchester United have no plans to bring him back. He has been quite disappointing, and it is clear that Manchester United view Sammens as their future now.
It will be interesting to see if the 29-year-old can get back to his best. The African goalkeeper has previously done quite well at Inter Milan, and he has the quality to shine in Turkey. Onana needs a fresh start to rebuild his form and confidence. Moving to Trabzonspor could be ideal for him.
Can Onana impress in Turkiye?
It remains to be seen how the former Ajax goalkeeper performs over the next few months. The experienced shot-stopper will look to prove his quality in Turkiye and sort out his permanent future in the coming months. He will be aware of the fact that Manchester United do not value him, and returning to Old Trafford will not be on his agenda either.
Meanwhile, Manchester United will hope that summer signing Lammens can hit the ground running in the Premier League. The Belgian goalkeeper is highly rated, and he has a bright future. He could develop into a key player for Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Altay Bayindir is expected to be the backup option to him. Manchester United have struggled in the absence of a reliable goalkeeper in recent seasons, and the Belgian will be under a lot of pressure to perform at a high level.
