Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana is on the verge of leaving Old Trafford, but his recent performance against Cameroon has done little to free his spirit. The Shotstopper was negligent with the key goal of Cape Verde winning through Cameroon in Tuesday’s Top of the Table World Cup qualifying clash.
Onana, who is scheduled to participate in Turkish costume Trabzonspor, did not shine during the match. His blunder occurred in the 53rd minute when Cape Verde’s Rosari Vlament regained ownership and was charged through the defense of Cameroon, one-on-one with Onana. The goalkeeper chose to stay on his line, but he dived the wrong way and made a second error, allowing Libramento’s shot to find the back of the net.
As a result, they secured Cape Verde’s debut at the World Cup. However, Cameroon is now in second place and could face the playoffs to secure a World Cup spot despite star players like Manchester United’s Onana teammates Carlos Beleva and Brian Mbemo.
Onana’s move to Türkiye is expected to be confirmed in the coming days, taking a break from a stint that was erroneous in Manchester.
He was united two years ago by Erik Ten Hag and was primarily the first choice under Ruben Amorim, but his tenure is undermined by a series of well-known errors.
The latest accident at the age of 29 came when he tried to intercept a delivery to the box against Grimsby.
Surprisingly, by agreeing to join Trabzonspor, he was able to double his salary and headed directly from Africa to Türkiye.
United will not receive a loan fee and will not have the option of signing Onana forever once the Turkish club has expired. That means he will have to return to Manchester, where he will have to make his future decisions.
The goalkeeper had previously been impressed by Ajax and Inter Milan, but the Premier League proved to be challenging.
Although Amorim had rejected the proposal to transfer schools in the summer, Altai Bayindeal has started three league games so far, but Onana was injured before the season.
On the deadline, the club confirmed the signature of 23-year-old Belgian Sen Ranmen for £18.3 million.
