In the latest twist of Manchester United’s season, goalkeeper Andre Onana is set to join Turkish side Trabzonspor on loan for the rest of the campaign. Signed from Inter Milan in 2023 for £47.2 million, Onana’s time at Old Trafford has been marked by flashes of quality overshadowed by costly mistakes, including a disastrous Carabao Cup exit to Grimsby Town last month.
United moved quickly to sign Belgian keeper Senne Lammens for £18.2 million on deadline day, paving the way for Onana’s temporary exit. Despite criticism, Onana has enjoyed strong backing from his teammates. Diogo Dalot praised his resilience under pressure, while Bruno Fernandes defended him after his high-profile Europa League error against Viktoria Plzen. Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro also rallied behind him following mistakes against Lyon, highlighting the squad’s continued belief in his ability.
Onana himself admitted the transition to United was tough, noting how quickly fortunes can change at a big club. He faced further scrutiny after a heated exchange with Casemiro and harsh words from Nemanja Matic, who labelled him “one of the worst goalkeepers in United’s history.” Still, with the Turkish transfer window open until 12 September, Onana leaves with his colleagues’ respect intact.
