Onana joins Trabzonspor on season-long loan from United

Manchester United goalkeeper André Onana has joined Turkish club Trabzonspor on a seasonlong loan, the clubs confirmed this week, ending a turbulent spell at Old Trafford that saw him fall down the pecking order and spar with manager Ruben Amorim. The 29 year old completed the move ahead of Trabzonspor's Super Lig meeting with Fenerbahçe on September 14 and will remain on loan for the 2025-26 season, with no option to buy, the Turkish club said.

The move follows a rapid decline in Onana's standing at Manchester United after his 2023 arrival from Inter Milan. Once expected to replace David de Gea as United's long term number one, Onana made 102 appearances for the club but endured a series of high profile errors and inconsistent shot-stopping that cost him his place. United signed 23 year old Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp on deadline day and manager Ruben Amorim has favoured Altay Bayindir and Lammens this term, leaving Onana without Premier League appearances this season and largely on the fringes after a hamstring problem in preseason, club insiders and multiple reports said.
