"Onana knew in August he could go, but he was always confident of becoming number one again. But I am told that once Lammens arrived, it was made clear to him that he was very much number three in the pecking order. At that point, he knew he could not remain at the club, and that is really when his people started working hard on options for him."
"It will be interesting to see if he can get his career back on track with regular opportunities at the Turkish club. He was a reliable goalkeeper during his time in Italy, and he will look to get back to that level. The move to Manchester United has not worked out for him. His performances were quite poor in the Premier League, and Manchester United are well within their rights to replace him."
Andre Onana will join Trabzonspor on loan from Manchester United after falling to third choice following the signing of Senne Lammens. He struggled at Old Trafford, making costly errors that contributed to United replacing him. Onana believed by August he might leave but expected to reclaim the number one spot; Lammens' arrival made him third-choice and prompted his representatives to seek alternatives. Onana feels he has been used as a scapegoat and still regards himself as United's best goalkeeper. With the World Cup and African Cup of Nations approaching, he prioritized regular playing time and accepted the loan to rebuild form.
