Manchester United's turbulent season could be set for another seismic shift, with the future of first-choice goalkeeper André Onana now hanging in the balance. The Cameroonian international, who only arrived at Old Trafford last summer, is reportedly being considered for a shock exit.
The potential departure is intrinsically linked to the club's ongoing search for a permanent manager. Current Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim has emerged as a leading candidate, and his potential appointment could trigger a major squad overhaul.
Amorim's Potential First Big Decision
According to emerging reports, should Amorim take the reins at the Theatre of Dreams, he would be open to sanctioning the sale of Onana. The Portuguese tactician is believed to be assessing his options and may look to bring in a goalkeeper more suited to his specific tactical philosophy.
This development places Onana's long-term prospects at the club in serious doubt, despite his status as the current number one.
Trabzonspor Waiting in the Wings
Interest in the 28-year-old shot-stopper is already materialising. Turkish Super Lig outfit Trabzonspor have been named as a potential suitor, ready to offer Onana an escape route from the intense scrutiny of the Premier League.
A move to Turkey would represent a dramatic turn of events for a player whose £47 million move from Inter Milan was heralded as a key part of Erik ten Hag's rebuilding project. His first season in England has been a mixed bag, punctuated by both spectacular saves and high-profile errors.
The coming weeks at Old Trafford promise to be decisive, with the manager's position and several key players' futures, including Onana's, set to be resolved.
