Manchester United are ready to part ways with goalkeeper Andre Onana after the season despite the Cameroonian’s desire to return to Old Trafford, according to the Daily Mail.
Onana is spending the season on loan at Trabzonspor in Turkey and reportedly wants to return to the club in June and rival Senne Lammens for the No. 1 spot in goal.
United have no plans to reintroduce the Cameroonian, who still has two years left on his contract, into the squad and want to offload Onana permanently amid interest from European and Saudi clubs.
The 30-year-old’s representatives are expected to hold talks with United this month to discuss his future, with another move away seen as the most likely scenario.
Man Utd Want to Sell Andre Onana

According to the Daily Mail, United would hope to recoup as much as possible of the £47.2m they paid Inter Milan for Onana in the summer of 2023.
Trabzonspor are believed to be keen on keeping the Cameroonian, who has made 25 appearances on loan this season, keeping six clean sheets and conceding 33 goals.
Onana is also claimed to be of interest to Turkish rivals Besiktas, as well as Monaco, who were quoted a fee of £30m by United last summer.
The Saudi Pro League also remains an option for the £120,000-a-week goalkeeper after he was briefly linked with FC Neom last year.
Onana’s only appearance for Man Utd this season came in their shock Carabao Cup exit at the hands of League Two side Grimsby Town.
The 30-year-old has played 102 games for the Old Trafford side to date and was part of their 2024 FA Cup-winning side.
The likes of Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia, Manuel Ugarte and Altay Bayindir are also set to be on the move this summer, with a return to Turkey seen as a possibility for the latter.

Rio Ferdinand has offered his take on Manchester United’s midfield targets, telling his former club to pursue a summer move for highly-rated AZ Alkmaar starlet Kees Smit.
The former defender has admitted he wants the Red Devils to do everything in their power to secure the Dutchman, insisting that they 'cannot allow him to go elsewhere'.
“Kees Smit is the truth man, I'm telling you. He's one you go, 'I'm buying him'. It doesn't have to be for now.
“I hope he does come in and takes the world by storm, but if we've got to wait six months to a year for him, I do not care. We cannot let him go elsewhere.”
