Onana's Shock Move? Man Utd Goalie Linked to Turkey & Saudi Arabia!
Andre Onana's future at Manchester United is looking increasingly uncertain! Reports suggest the Cameroonian goalkeeper is attracting interest from both Turkey and Saudi Arabia, raising questions about his position at Old Trafford.
Turkish Temptation: Trabzonspor and Galatasaray Eye Onana
Initially linked with Galatasaray, who eventually signed Ugurcan Cakir, Onana is now reportedly considering a loan move to Trabzonspor. Club sources believe Onana could make a significant impact, and with the Turkish transfer window open until 12 September, a deal could be struck quickly.
Saudi Arabian Suitors Emerge
Adding another layer of intrigue, Saudi Pro League clubs are also showing interest in Onana. Al-Shabab are reportedly keen, and other clubs are also in the mix. A permanent sale is possible, although a loan seems more likely at this stage.
What's Behind the Potential Exit?
The arrival of Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp on deadline day has seemingly pushed Onana down the pecking order. While United initially stated they were happy to have four senior goalkeepers, manager Ruben Amorim reportedly prefers a smaller squad, especially without European football this season. Altay Bayindir has also started ahead of Onana in recent Premier League games.
Onana's Man Utd Journey So Far
Signed from Inter Milan in 2023 for £47.2m, Onana initially seemed destined to be United's number one. However, an injury during pre-season and Bayindir's subsequent performances have complicated matters. His shaky performance in the EFL Cup defeat against Grimsby also hasn't helped his cause.
- Potential Destinations: Trabzonspor (loan), Saudi Pro League clubs (Al-Shabab, others)
- Key Factor: Arrival of Senne Lammens
- United's Stance: Open to loan or sale
Will Onana stay and fight for his place, or will he seek a fresh start in Turkey or Saudi Arabia? Only time will tell!
