Andre Onana exits Man United to complete loan move to Trabzonspor

New Delhi: Andre Onana has completed a long-anticipated exit from Manchester United, moving to Turkish club Trabzonspor on loan for the remainder of the 2025-26 season.

The move was completed before the transfer window in Turkey concluded on Friday. The Cameroon international has fallen out of favour at Old Trafford and has not featured in United's opening three Premier League games.

"We would like to wish Andre good luck," said United in announcing the deal, which is subject to international clearance and registration.

The United custodian's only appearance for Ruben Amorim's team this season came in their stunning Carabao Cup defeat at the hands of League Two side Grimsby.

The 29-year-old has flattered to deceive since his high-profile move to United from Inter Milan for £47.2m in July 2023. He was signed by former Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag to replace David de Gea as United's number one.

He becomes another player signed by the Dutchman to depart from Old Trafford in the summer transfer window following the exits of Antony and Rasmus Hojlund.

Onana exits after making 102 appearances for the club. He was part of their 2024 FA Cup-winning side.

His spell at United was punctuated by a series of costly errors, and the mistake against Grimsby in the League Cup proved as the final nail in the coffin for the former Ajax goalkeeper. In the Premier League, he fell behind the picking order as Amorim selected Altay Bayindir in United's first three games.

But the Turkish goalkeeper too has failed to impress, prompting Amorim to sign Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens, 23, who arrived on deadline day from Royal Antwerp in a deal worth an initial 21m euros (£18.1m) plus add-ons.

United have taken four points from three games and visit Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday. Amorim has Lammens, Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton as goalkeeping options at his disposal.
