Manchester United push towards Andre Onana sale

Manchester United are increasingly unlikely to reintegrate Andre Onana into their squad next season, with internal planning already leaning towards a summer sale rather than a renewed role at Old Trafford.

Despite that outlook, the Cameroon international is believed to be intent on reporting for pre-season training, convinced he can still persuade the new managerial setup that he deserves another opportunity to compete for the gloves.

Onana, currently on loan at Trabzonspor, has reportedly maintained the view that his time in England has not reached a natural conclusion. Sources suggest he remains determined to demonstrate his value rather than exit quietly.

However, Flashscore insiders indicate that the club’s position has not shifted. United are actively exploring options to secure a permanent or loan exit for the 30-year-old during the upcoming transfer window if a suitable deal can be arranged.

The reshuffle is expected to extend beyond Onana. Back-up goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is also likely to move on, with a return to Turkey considered the most realistic pathway as United reshape their goalkeeping unit.

As part of that restructuring, the club are preparing to bring in a new deputy, ensuring competition and depth behind their established first-choice goalkeeper.

Financial factors are central to the decision-making process. Onana’s reported £175,000-a-week wages are viewed internally as excessive for a player who would not be guaranteed a starting role.

There is also a sense that his previous push for improved contractual terms before departing on loan has contributed to United’s reluctance to reintegrate him into the squad setup.

Meanwhile, Senne Lammens has impressed since becoming first-choice, with United officials said to be satisfied with the recruitment strategy that delivered his arrival and subsequent performances.

Unless there is a dramatic change in circumstances, all indications point towards Onana’s chapter at Old Trafford closing this summer rather than being extended into another campaign.
