ESPN: Man Utd decide to put 102-app Red on the market despite improved form

According to ESPN journalist Rob Dawson, MUFC don’t intend to include Onana in their plans for next season.

Therefore, the custodian will only temporarily return to Carrington in the summer, as he must find himself a new club.

In recent weeks, Trabzonspor’s president expressed his desire to keep Onana at the club beyond the current campaign, but it remains to be seen if his club can afford the deal, and whether the player would be open to extending his Turkish experience.

Dawson believes that the biggest hurdle Man Utd must work around is Onana’s hefty salary. It should be noted that the absence of Champions League football reduced the goalkeeper’s salary this season, but it will increase next term again, as the club has secured its place in Europe’s elite club competition.

Man Utd have long moved on from Onana

With the club set to complete on multiple fronts next season, United certainly need another reliable shot-stopper within their ranks alongside Lammens.

Altay Bayindir hasn’t been particularly convincing, and he could be on his way back to Turkiye this season, with Besiktas reportedly keen on his services.

Nevertheless, Onana has committed so many blunders in his two years that he lost all support from the hierarchy and the fanbase.

Therefore, if the Cameroonian is still determined to climb his way back to the top, he will have to do it elsewhere, as the Man Utd ship has long sailed.

However, finding a buyer willing to match the custodian’s salary remains the issue. The former Ajax man has a contract with MUFC valid until June 2028.
