Manchester United have reached a verbal agreement with Trabzonspor to loan André Onana, with the goalkeeper understood to be open to the move before Turkey's transfer window closes on Friday.
The Cameroonian has lost his starting spot to Altay Bayindir this season, having featured only in the Carabao Cup loss at Grimsby, where he was at fault for both goals in a 2-2 draw.
Terms are still being finalised before Onana makes a final decision. United signed Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for €21m on deadline day, giving the club four keepers including Bayindir and Tom Heaton.
Manager Ruben Amorim had been relaxed about the quartet given Onana's expected absence for the Africa Cup of Nations, but Trabzonspor's interest has changed his stance. If Onana departs, United could be exposed: Bayindir has made only seven Premier League appearances and has shown errors, while the 39-year-old Heaton last played league football in January 2020 and Lammens has no experience in English football.
On signing, Lammens said: 'I think if you want to be a good goalkeeper, you have to be a rock behind the defence. One of the best attributes is staying calm under pressure.'
