"Manchester United and Trabzonspor have reached a verbal agreement to take Andre Onana on loan, with the goalkeeper understood to be open to completing the move before Turkey's transfer window closes on Friday. The Cameroonian has lost his place to Altay Bayindir this season. Onana has started only United's Carabao Cup 12-11 penalty shootout loss at Grimsby, in which he was culpable for both goals in the 2-2 draw in regular time."
"On Monday's transfer deadline day, United signed Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for 21m (18m) to strengthen their options. With Lammens, Onana, Bayindir and Tom Heaton, the head coach Ruben Amorim has four goalkeepers in his squad. Yet with Onana expected to be part of Cameroon's squad for the African Cup of Nations and so unavailable for up to six weeks from mid-December, Amorim had been relaxed about having a quartet of keepers."
"On signing, the Belgian said: I think if you want to be a good goalkeeper, you have to be a rock behind the defence. They have to trust you and count on you in difficult moments. That is something I take pride in. One of the best attributes you can have as a goalkeeper is staying calm under pressure, in any circumstances, even if you make a mistake or something. You just move on and try to give your best to the team."
Manchester United and Trabzonspor have reached a verbal agreement for Andre Onana to move on loan, with Onana open to completing the transfer before Turkey's window closes on Friday. Onana lost his starting spot to Altay Bayindir and has only started in United's Carabao Cup shootout loss at Grimsby, where he was held culpable for both goals in the 2-2 draw. United signed Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for 21m to bolster options, creating a four-goalkeeper squad. Onana's expected African Cup of Nations call-up and Trabzonspor interest prompted reconsideration of his role, raising concerns about experience and reliability if he departs.
