André Onana’s Manchester United exit looms amid rift with Ruben Amorim

André Onana’s time at Manchester United appears to be drawing to a close after tensions with manager Ruben Amorim reached breaking point.

According to English media, the relationship between the Cameroonian goalkeeper and the Portuguese coach has collapsed in recent weeks, with the pair no longer on speaking terms.

Amorim is said to have criticised Onana’s professionalism, including his decision to play in a local match in Cameroon during his vacation on what was described as a dangerous pitch.

Reports suggest Onana is on the verge of sealing a move to Turkish club Trabzonspor, with his departure seen as all but inevitable.

Before his exit, however, details have emerged of the strained atmosphere that developed between him and Amorim in the days leading up to the international break.

Amorim, formerly of Benfica, is understood to have accused the 28-year-old of showing little commitment or interest in training and preparation.

Onana, relegated to a bench role, was never considered central to the coach’s long-term plans, and his performances have only deepened the rift.

The breaking point came during Manchester United’s shock cup defeat to Grimsby, in which Onana was guilty of several costly errors.

The mistakes reinforced Amorim’s view that the goalkeeper could no longer be relied upon at the highest level.

Further criticism was aimed at Onana’s displays for the Cameroon national team. His outing in the recent defeat to Cape Verde drew sharp scrutiny, with some observers pinning responsibility for the result on him.

These struggles have only strengthened Amorim’s conviction that the player’s departure is necessary to restore stability within the squad.

Behind the scenes, sources close to the club have described Onana as merely going through the motions in training, lacking the intensity and commitment expected of a Manchester United player.

This perception mirrors Amorim’s own frustrations, with the Portuguese manager convinced that moving Onana on will improve the atmosphere in the dressing room.

Signed from Inter Milan with high expectations, Onana has endured a difficult spell in England, marked by inconsistency and controversy.

Now, with Trabzonspor waiting in the wings, his Old Trafford chapter appears set to close sooner rather than later.
