The Cameroonian must now decide between a move to Turkey or a season on the bench at Old Trafford.
In a surprising late-window twist, Manchester United have accepted a loan offer from Turkish club Trabzonspor for goalkeeper Andre Onana, leaving the final decision in the hands of the player himself.
The move comes after a tumultuous period for the Cameroonian international, who has seen his stock fall dramatically at the Premier League club. After a season marred by high-profile errors, Onana’s position became even more uncertain under new manager Ruben Amorim. A pre-season injury then allowed backup Altay Bayindir to claim the starting role, which he has held onto despite his own shaky moments.
The situation worsened for Onana on Deadline Day when United bolstered their goalkeeping ranks further by signing Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for €21 million, pushing him even further down the pecking order.
While it seemed Onana was destined for a season as a peripheral figure, the landscape shifted when Trabzonspor, led by the renowned insider Fabrizio Romano, submitted a formal loan proposal. United have now given the green light to the deal, the details of which remain under wraps.
The ball is now firmly in Onana’s court. He faces a critical choice: embrace a new challenge in the Turkish Super Lig or remain at United, where he risks not playing again this season following an unimpressive performance in the Carabao Cup against Grimsby. Reports from journalist Ben Jacobs indicate the 29-year-old is giving the move “serious consideration.”
Trabzonspor’s pursuit of Onana emerged after their attempted move for Manchester City’s backup goalkeeper Stefan Ortega reportedly failed. With the German rejecting their advances, the Turkish side quickly pivoted to the available United man, presenting him with a potential lifeline to revive his career.
