Manchester United Goalkeeper Andre Onana Joins Trabzonspor on Season-Long Loan

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has joined Turkish Super Lig club Trabzonspor on a season-long loan after a difficult period at Old Trafford marked by several high-profile errors, including in a Carabao Cup loss to Grimsby Town. The move follows the arrival of Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens and the preference for Turkish keeper Altay Bayindir, who has started all Premier League games this season despite shaky performances. Trabzonspor will cover Onana's full wages and pay a signing-on fee, with no option to make the loan permanent, meaning Onana is expected to return to Manchester United next summer. Onana joined United in 2023 from Inter Milan for an initial £43.8 million but struggled to maintain his place, making only one cup appearance this season before being sidelined. Despite his struggles, Onana received a warm welcome from fans in Trabzon upon his arrival. This loan reflects Manchester United's ongoing efforts to stabilize their goalkeeping situation as they face pressure after a poor previous season and early relegation concerns.
