Manchester United reach terms with Andre Onana transfer; Trabzonspor near to securing goalkeeper's loan deal post-Senne Lammens arrival
With the transfer window drawing to a close, the future of Manchester United's goalkeeper Andre Onana remains uncertain. Following a series of setbacks and a strained relationship with the club hierarchy, Onana's options for a fresh start appear minimal.
The arrival of the 23-year-old Dutch talent, Lammens, from Royal Antwerp for a reported £18m ($24m), and the emergence of Bayindir as a capable deputy, has left Onana's future at Old Trafford in tatters. The purchase of Lammens, combined with Bayindir's impressive performances, has cast a shadow over Onana's position.
Onana, who was hit with a 25 per cent wage reduction following United's Champions League failure in the 2023-24 campaign, reportedly demanded a new deal and improved terms during the summer. However, his demand did not sit well with the club hierarchy, leading to a standoff.
The season has not been kind to Onana. His only start in the EFL Cup was in the humiliating second-round defeat to League Two minnows Grimsby Town. This setback, coupled with his omission from Amorim's first three Premier League line-ups, has raised questions about his form and commitment.
Amorim's handling of the goalkeeping department has become a cause for concern, with the situation surrounding Onana adding fuel to the fire. The manager's approach risks becoming another lightning rod for criticism, as fans and pundits alike question his decision-making.
However, there is a potential lifeline for Onana. Reports suggest that he could still be signed by Trabzonspor in Turkey on a loan deal before the transfer window closes. The extended market in Turkey could provide Onana with the opportunity to rebuild his shattered confidence and resurrect his career.
If Onana does depart, the spotlight will immediately fall on Lammens and Bayindir. Both goalkeepers will be under immense pressure to perform, with the weight of expectation heavy on their shoulders. The future of Manchester United's goalkeeping department remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the stakes are high, and the drama is far from over.
