Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has signed a new one-year loan deal at Trabzonspor to spend a second season at the Turkish club.
Daily Mail Sport can reveal that Onana has signed the paperwork on the contract, leaving United and Trabzon to complete the final details in the next 24 hours.
Trabzon will pay United a maximum loan fee of £1.3m depending on their performances next season, as well as covering the majority of Onana’s wages. There is no option in the deal to buy him next summer.
Onana moved to Turkey last September after it became clear he had no future at Old Trafford, and United told him to find a new club following the arrival of Senne Lammens.
The 30-year-old Cameroon international impressed during his season there, helping Trabzon win the Turkish Cup in May. It emerged last month that Trabzon wanted to keep Onana, and that another season on loan was the most likely outcome.
A permanent move would have been preferable so United could recoup some of the £47.2million paid to Inter Milan for Onana in the summer of 2023, but agreeing a new loan now avoids the awkward scenario of the former Ajax keeper returning for pre-season training at Carrington later this month.
Andre Onana has signed a new one-year loan deal with Trabzonspor, meaning he will temporarily leave Manchester United again
Onana, who still owns a house on the outskirts of Manchester, has two years left on his contract, but United have decided not to reintegrate him to compete with Lammens – even though they will be in the market for a new back-up keeper if Altay Bayindir leaves.
The feeling is that Onana’s £120,000-a-week salary and extrovert personality would make it difficult to put him on the bench.
Lammens has become established as United’s undisputed No 1 after an excellent first campaign in which his £21.7m move from Royal Antwerp was voted the Premier League’s transfer of the season.
United are signing Swansea City goalkeeper Kit Margetson, son of former Manchester City keeper Martyn. Swansea made an offer to keep the 19-year-old but he is out of contract and is now poised to join United once the Premier League compensation fee is determined.
United have also been linked with Karl Darlow, of Leeds, and Wolves’ Sam Johnstone as potential replacements for Bayindir. The club have already handed a new one-year contract to veteran Tom Heaton.
