Onana, Manchester United

Romano's iconic 'Here we go' has echoed again, confirming that Onana's departure from Manchester United is a done deal. The Cameroon goalkeeper will join Turkish powerhouse Trabzonspor on loan, reflecting a deepening crisis in the goalkeeper position at Manchester United.
André Onana is on his way to Trabzonspor in the Turkish Süper Lig on a season-long loan after falling out of grace at Manchester United.
The fallout from Onana’s brief and turbulent spell at Manchester United will not fade quickly. His performances have been widely criticised and his exit now appears to close the door firmly on his Old Trafford future. Goldbridge summed up the overall feeling: “Clearly did ask for a pay rise, which is funny in itself.”
United currently boast four senior goalkeepers, with Lammens joining Onana, Bayındır and veteran option Tom Heaton. This is typically one more than most modern squads can accommodate, prompting the Red Devils to explore the possibility of offloading one of the gloved figures.
While the rights and wrongs of Senne Lammens' arrival can be debated, the Belgian has clearly been bought with an eye on the future. It means Onana - whose United contract runs to 2028 - has almost certainly played his last game for the Old Trafford outfit.
