Onana to Return for Man United Pre-Season as Club Seeks Exit

Overview

• Andre Onana plans to report for Manchester United’s mid-July pre-season after completing a season-long loan at Trabzonspor.
• Trabzonspor want to keep Onana on loan and their president has confirmed the club will make an offer for another year.
• Manchester United see Onana as surplus to long-term plans and prefer to move him on rather than reintegrate him into the first team.
• United are open to a further loan but demand that any borrowing club pick up Onana’s wages, a key barrier to a permanent transfer because his contract and expected pay rise make a sale costly.
• Onana made 29 league appearances as Trabzonspor finished third and play in the Turkish Cup final and his return forces United to finalise goalkeeper roles with Senne Lammens established as first choice.
