Andre Onana is set to return to Trabzonspor on a season-long loan after Manchester United agreed a deal with the Turkish side.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper spent the whole of the last campaign at Trabzonspor, helping them win the Turkish Cup against Konyaspor in May.
What happened?
Manchester United have opted against trying to reintegrate Onana over the summer to compete with Senne Lammens.
Onana's hefty salary and extrovert personality would make it difficult to put him on the bench.
Why it matters for Andre Onana
The ex-Inter Milan goalkeeper impressed during his season with Trabzonspor, and now another year with the club is edging closer.
United sources have confirmed that an agreement is close to being finalised between the two clubs.
What comes next?
The Red Devils have lined up replacements, including Scotland's Angus Gunn, who was released by Nottingham Forest.
Gunn could land a move to Manchester, while Leeds' Karl Darlow and Wolves' Sam Johnstone are also being considered.
Onana was signed from Inter in the summer of 2023 for £47.2million and came in to replace David de Gea.
His distribution was seen as a difference maker, but he made numerous errors that led directly to goals.
The goalkeeper situation beyond Lammens remains unclear, with United willing to offload Altay Bayindir if a suitable offer comes in.
This would leave them without a No 2 to work under the Belgian, thus pushing them into the market.
United's goalkeeping options are being assessed, with a possible move for Gunn or Darlow on the cards.
The future of Onana at Manchester United looks bleak, with the club set to sanction another loan move for the Cameroonian goalkeeper.
The deal is expected to be finalised soon, with Onana set to spend another season at Trabzonspor.
The Turkish side will be happy to have the goalkeeper back, after his impressive performances last season.
Onana's return to Trabzonspor will be a boost for the club, as they look to build on their Turkish Cup win.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper will be looking to impress again, and prove himself as one of the top goalkeepers in the Turkish league.
The loan deal is a good move for all parties, as it allows Onana to play regular football and Manchester United to assess their goalkeeping options.
The Red Devils will be looking to strengthen their squad, with the goalkeeper position a key area of focus.
The future of Onana at Manchester United may be uncertain, but for now, he will be focusing on his season-long loan at Trabzonspor.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper will be looking to make a big impact, and help the Turkish side achieve success in the upcoming season.
