Andre Onana seals loan move to Trabzonspor after losing first-team spot at Manchester United, with the deal lasting until the end of the 2025–26 season

The deal, confirmed before the closure of Turkey’s transfer window on Friday, is subject to international clearance and player registration. Trabzonspor announced the signing with a post on X that read: “Welcome to your new home, Onana.”

United also released a short statement, wishing the 29-year-old Cameroon international “good luck” as he begins his new chapter in Turkey.

Onana has struggled for game time this season, featuring only once — in United’s shock Carabao Cup defeat to League Two side Grimsby Town — after being left out of the club’s opening three Premier League fixtures.

Signed from Inter Milan in July 2023 for £47.2 million, Onana made 102 appearances for United and was part of the squad that lifted the FA Cup in 2024. Despite moments of brilliance, his spell at Old Trafford was marked by inconsistency and several high-profile errors.

“Onana played 50 times in his second campaign, and our no.24 has now agreed a loan move to Trabzonspor,” United confirmed on its website.

Meanwhile, United strengthened their goalkeeping ranks on deadline day with the arrival of 23-year-old Belgian shot-stopper Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp, in a deal worth an initial €21 million (£18.1m) plus add-ons.
