Manchester United have no plans to bring back Andre Onana after his loan spell with Trabzonspor. The Cameroonian goalkeeper spent last season on loan with the Turkish team after a difficult few seasons at Old Trafford.
After Onana’s big-money move from Inter Milan, which saw many high-profile players released, United opted to move him on and sign Senne Lamence as his replacement.
Onana’s loan to Trabzonspor expires in the coming weeks, but he has reportedly already expressed a desire to return to Old Trafford and compete for a permanent place. However, those hopes are likely to be dashed by the Red Devils, who are looking to prepare their team for next season.
According to ESPN, there are no plans to add the 30-year-old to the club’s squad and work has already begun to find a candidate. However, one obstacle to easing the burden on goalkeepers is that their wages are expected to rise this summer after United have qualified for next season’s Champions League.

Trabzonspor have regularly spoken out about the possibility of re-signing Onana, claiming that the Red Devils’ financial demands would likely be prohibitive if the move were to become permanent.
“The acquisition of Andre Onana from Manchester United is in the range of 45-50 million euros, so our president honestly reported to the community in line with the realities of Trabzonspor,” Trabzonspor vice-president Zeiyat Kavkas told Gnebaksh earlier this year.
“I don’t think this information has affected Onana at all because he wants to continue working for a club in Europe, even if it’s not in England.”

“His family thinks the same way. The president also wanted to explain the reality of Trabzonspor. But when the situation changes, the situation changes.”
Meanwhile, Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Doğan suggested that only Onana will ultimately decide his future.
In an interview with NTV Spor, he said: “Onana’s career is already established. We like him. As I said before, he has certain plans for his career. If the conditions are right, we want him to stay. The final decision will be Onana’s.”
Onana has made 32 appearances for Trabzonspor this season, keeping six clean sheets. He may not be the only goalkeeper to bid farewell to the club this season. Back-up stopper Altai Baindir, who has fallen out of favor since Lamence’s arrival, could also be sold.
