Manchester United have reportedly decided not to include Andre Onana in their plans for next season.
The 30-year-old goalkeeper is currently on loan at Trabzonspor following a difficult spell at Old Trafford, including the 2024/25 campaign.
The Cameroon international joined Manchester United from Inter Milan after helping the Serie A side reach the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League final.

The former Ajax star is reportedly unlikely to reclaim the number one shirt due to the impressive performances of Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens.
Onana’s future at Manchester United
André Onana has reportedly indicated his willingness to return to Old Trafford after enjoying a strong season in Turkey.
According to Mirror, Manchester United are already planning for life without the Cameroonian and have started searching for potential buyers.
The Red Devils are reportedly considering selling the goalkeeper due to his rising wages, which are expected to increase after the club secured qualification for next season’s Champions League.
Trabzonspor want Onana stay
Trabzonspor are reportedly interested in keeping Onana following his performances during the 2025/26 Turkish league season.
Club president Ertugrul Dogan said the goalkeeper would decide his own future. He said:
“Onana’s career is already established. We like him and I’ve said this before.
“He has a certain plan for his career. If the conditions are right, we want him to stay. The final decision will be Onana’s,” per ESPN.
Onana has made 33 appearances for Trabzonspor this season and kept six clean sheets.

He may not be the only goalkeeper set to leave Manchester United this summer, with backup keeper Altay Bayındır also reportedly facing an uncertain future after falling down the pecking order following Lammens’ arrival.

“Looks like the Manchester United project is moving in a different direction 👀 if André Onana leaves, replacing him becomes one of the club’s biggest priorities this summer.”

“Man U kill career. Onana that was the toast of football world prior to joining Man U. Same as it did to Antony, Jordan Sancho and all. Even Amorim too.”
@tb_analysis added:
“If United are dumping Onana after one season, did they misjudge him, or does the club just keep blaming players instead of fixing the real problems.”
@amyungruff said:
“What do we do about Onana? If Trabszospor returns him, and no club comes for him, he remains in the club and also gets a 25% salary increase for the UCL qualification 🤦🏾♂️”.
