Manchester United goalkeeper Onana has agreed to join Trabzon Sports on loan for one season. "TA" revealed details:

Trabzon Sports will fully bear the goalkeeper's salary at Manchester United, and Onana can also receive bonus income. Sources close to the players said that their final revenue was nearly doubled. After completing the key World Cup qualifiers against Cape Verde on Tuesday night, Onana will fly to Trabzon, Türkiye via Paris.

Although Trabzon Sports is not a traditional Turkish giant such as Galatasaray, Fenerbahce or Besiktas, it has won three wins and one draw in four rounds of the league this season and is temporarily ranked second in the Turkish Super League standings.

reported last Saturday that Manchester United and Trabzon Sports were negotiating on Onana's loan. This lease does not include the rental fee and buyout terms. Türkiye's transfer window will remain open until September 12, and Trabzon Sports hopes that Onana will play against Fenerbahce on September 14. Onana played the game in the previous Thursday in Cameroon's 3-0 victory over Esvatini.

When the transfer window opened, Manchester United had no intention of introducing the goalkeeper, but the situation changed after Onana returned to the team in the preseason. He reported hamstring discomfort on his first day of training and was diagnosed with complete injury the next day, which made staff question his physical condition after the summer offseason.

This injury left a deep impression on coach Ruben Amorin, and Baindel won the opportunity to start in the first three rounds of the Premier League. Although Onana admitted that she had recovered, she was not on the roster against Arsenal (Tom Heaton served as the substitute), and the defeat in Fulham was even more surprising.

In fact, hidden dangers were laid as early as the end of last season: Baindel started against Aston Villa in the final match of the Premier League, Heaton served as the substitute, and Onana was abandoned for poor performance in the UEFA Cup final.

Onana returned to Carrington base and asked for a new contract renewal (he has been intent since he was deducted from his annual salary by 25% of his Champions League qualification failure). This position has aroused dissatisfaction with Amorin. But Manchester United did not take the initiative to promote him. Monaco was the only club to raise substantial interests and was told that the minimum price was 30 million pounds and gave up his pursuit. After Fulham's match, Onana's team reconfidled whether Manchester United wanted it to find its next home, but was told that it was not necessary and the player was still in Amorin's plan. However, at this time, Manchester United had already signed Sean Lamons from Antwerp for the ups and downs in the match against Arsenal. The Ratcliff-led club decided to introduce a new goalkeeper, and even though Lamons was expected to compete for No. 1 goalkeeper, Onana was confident that he could regain the main force.

But after Ramens joined, further communication between Manchester United and Onana's team made it clear that players can seek more options to guarantee their playing time, and the club is also willing to keep people. After that, Trabzon Sports made a offer, and Onana is seriously considering it.
