Manchester United has confirmed that goalkeeper André Onana will leave Old Trafford to join Turkish side Trabzonspor on loan for the 2025/26 season. The announcement comes ahead of the club’s highly anticipated Premier League derby against Manchester City, scheduled for Sunday.
Onana, a 29‑year‑old Cameroonian international, has made 102 appearances for Manchester United since arriving from Inter Milan in July 2023. During his time at Old Trafford, he was part of the squad that won the Emirates FA Cup, defeating Manchester City 2‑1 at Wembley Stadium. The loan move to Trabzonspor will give him more playing experience and could improve his chances of selection for future competitions.
Manchester United thanked Onana for his contributions and wished him success at the Turkish club. While his departure may affect the team’s goalkeeping options, the club has not issued any official statements about potential replacements or squad changes. As the Premier League season progresses, United will aim to maintain its competitive edge, and the loan could be seen as a strategic move to optimise the roster.
With the transfer window still open, it remains to be seen whether further changes will be made. The team’s immediate focus, however, is the upcoming derby against Manchester City, expected to be a closely contested and intense encounter. As the season unfolds, Onana’s performances with Trabzonspor will be closely watched, and his experience in the Turkish league may ultimately benefit Manchester United upon his return.
