Manchester United have confirmed that goalkeeper Andre Onana has rejoined Turkish club Trabzonspor on a season-long loan for the 2026-27 campaign.

n

According to the BBC, the agreement does not include an option to buy, although Trabzonspor will cover the Cameroon international’s wages in full while also paying Manchester United a loan fee, with additional performance-related bonuses included in the deal.

n

United said the transfer remains subject to international clearance and registration.

n

The 30-year-old returns to Trabzonspor after a successful loan spell last season, during which he made 29 appearances and helped the Turkish side win the Turkish Cup for the first time since 2020.

n

Onana, who joined Manchester United from Inter Milan in a £47.2 million deal in 2023, still has two years remaining on his contract at Old Trafford.

n

His only appearance for United last season came in the shock EFL Cup defeat to League Two side Grimsby before he was sent out on loan.

n

The goalkeeper had been expected to report for pre-season training on July 9, but his chances of reclaiming a place in the first team were limited, with Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens firmly established as manager Michael Carrick’s first-choice keeper.

n

United’s goalkeeping department could see further changes this summer, with backup goalkeeper Altay Bayindir’s future also uncertain, while highly-rated youngster Radek Vitek is reportedly seeking a loan move in search of regular first-team football.
