Manchester United Goalkeeper Onana Joins Trabzonspor on Season-Long Loan

Andre Onana has joined Turkish Süper Lig club Trabzonspor on a season-long loan from Manchester United, with no loan fee or purchase option, meaning he will return to United after the 2025/26 season. United agreed to the loan following the signing of a new goalkeeper, pushing Onana down the pecking order, while Trabzonspor view his experience as a valuable asset to strengthen their squad. Onana's career has seen highs and lows, including a costly spell at Manchester United, and this move is seen as an opportunity for him to regain confidence and playing time ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Trabzonspor’s manager Fatih Tekke plans to integrate Onana immediately as the club aims to improve on last season’s fourth-place finish, with the deal structured to minimize financial risk for the Turkish side. Analysts and former players highlight the psychological pressure Onana faced at Old Trafford and view his loan as beneficial for all parties, allowing him to rebuild away from intense scrutiny while United focus on broader team issues. The loan signals a critical juncture in Onana’s career, offering a chance for personal and professional growth in a new environment.
