Why United Are Open to Letting Him Go
Onanaâs debut season at Old Trafford was rocky. After arriving from Inter Milan last summer for around ÂŁ43m, he quickly became the subject of heavy criticism following high-profile errors in the Champions League and Premier League.
Despite moments of brilliance, consistency has eluded him, and new boss RĂșben Amorim has been weighing up whether a change in goal is needed as he reshapes the squad.
Unitedâs hierarchy believes a loan move could relieve pressure on the player while also giving the club flexibility to bring in competition.

Why Trabzonspor Want Him
Trabzonspor have been circling for weeks. They see Onana as a marquee signing â a goalkeeper of Champions League pedigree who could instantly lift their squad and excite their supporters.
For Onana, the Turkish Super Lig offers a fresh start away from the intense scrutiny of England. Passionate fans, European competition, and a less hostile media spotlight make it an attractive destination.

Onanaâs Dilemma
Yet the Cameroonian is wrestling with a career-defining decision.
Stay at United: Prove his critics wrong, fight for his place under Amorim, and protect his reputation on one of footballâs biggest stages.
Move to Trabzonspor: Step away from the pressure cooker of Old Trafford, rebuild confidence, and return stronger â or secure a permanent move elsewhere next summer.
> âHe knows leaving after just one season looks like failure,â another source said. âBut he also knows staying could mean more criticism if things donât improve quickly. This is the hardest decision of his career.â

Fans React
The news has left Manchester United fans divided. Some argue the club should cut their losses and back Amorimâs project without hesitation. Others feel Onana deserves patience, pointing out that legendary United keepers like David de Gea and Peter Schmeichel also had shaky starts before establishing themselves.
On social media, one supporter wrote: âIf he leaves, itâs a relief. Too many mistakes.â Another countered: âWe give players like Rashford endless chances, but not Onana? He needs time.â

What Happens Next
The clock is ticking. United want clarity soon so they can either finalize the loan or move quickly for a new goalkeeper. Amorim has identified at least one potential replacement if Onana departs, but plans are on hold until the Cameroonian decides.
With the season already underway and the transfer window closing fast, the pressure is on.
> âThis is not about money anymore,â a senior club figure noted. âItâs about AndrĂ©âs pride, his confidence, and what he believes is the right path for his future.â

Conclusion
The loan deal with Trabzonspor is on the table, the paperwork is ready, but the next move belongs to André Onana. Will he take the chance to reset his career in Turkey, or will he stay in Manchester and brave the storm of criticism?
One thing is clear: his decision will shape not just his own career, but Manchester Unitedâs season under RĂșben Amorim.
For now, Old Trafford waits.
