"Onana had been linked with another Turkish club, Galatasaray, but they opted to sign Ugurcan Cakir. Cakir, who started Turkey's World Cup qualifying win over Georgia on Thursday, joined from Trabzonspor on 2 September in a deal that could eventually be worth 36m euros (31.2m). Trabzonspor have been assessing alternatives since that deal was completed and club sources believe Onana could have a major impact. Onana is on international duty with Cameroon and the Turkish transfer window is open until 12 September."
"Letting Onana or Altay Bayindir leave United has been on the cards since the club signed Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp on deadline day. Although Old Trafford officials stressed the club were willing to have a senior squad including four goalkeepers, that was at odds with head coach Ruben Amorim's stated desire to have a smaller squad in the absence of European football. Tom Heaton is the fourth senior goalkeeper in the United ranks."
"Onana had, in theory, ended last season as United's number one goalkeeper given he started the Europa League final defeat by Tottenham. However, after injuring his hamstring at the start of pre-season training, he missed all United's warm-up games and was overlooked for their opening three Premier League matches, when Bayindir was chosen. Onana did start the shock second-round EFL Cup defeat by League Two Grimsby last month, when he was at fault for the Mariners' second goal."
Andre Onana is considering a loan move to Turkish side Trabzonspor after Galatasaray signed Ugurcan Cakir from Trabzonspor. Trabzonspor have been assessing alternatives and club sources believe Onana could have a major impact. Onana is on international duty with Cameroon and the Turkish transfer window is open until 12 September. Letting Onana or Altay Bayindir leave United has been under consideration since the club signed Senne Lammens. Manchester United currently have four senior goalkeepers including Tom Heaton, but head coach Ruben Amorim prefers a smaller squad without European football. Onana missed pre-season games through a hamstring injury, began the season on the bench, and made notable mistakes including a poor EFL Cup outing.
