The hierarchy at Old Trafford are already sketching out strategies for the upcoming summer’s trading period.
Reports indicate that Napoli are considering a definitive acquisition of attacker Rasmus Hojlund in 2026, subsequent to the United player’s encouraging beginning with the Italian league champions, where he is currently on loan.
Additionally, further departures might be on the horizon as the Red Devils aim to restructure their team during yet another phase of significant transformation.
Andre Onana could be lined up for a completed transfer from Manchester United
As per reports by the Sun, Trabzonspor are showing interest in finalizing goalkeeper Andre Onana’s temporary transfer into a full-time engagement next summer, despite the absence of both a pre-set option and a necessity to make the deal permanent within the current loan conditions.
The team’s strategist, Fatih Tekke, is allegedly impressed by Onana’s commanding influence, in spite of him achieving just one match without conceding any goals across his initial quartet of appearances in the Turkish Super Lig thus far.
Reportedly, Trabzonspor is compensating Onana with more than his £120,000 each week remuneration from United, suggesting that agreements on personal financial terms regarding a completed move are unlikely to pose difficulties.
The primary obstacle might revolve around United’s specified price expectations; however, it still needs to be determined if they intend to retrieve a substantial portion of the £47 million they invested in acquiring the goalkeeper from Inter back in 2023.
Onana concluded the previous season occupying the role of United’s primary goalkeeper but sustained an injury during the pre-season phase, leading to his reassignment as the secondary choice, positioned behind Altay Bayındır.
The displays from the Cameroon international were notably underwhelming during United’s embarrassing League Cup exit at the hands of Grimsby Town in August, resulting in amplified critique.
That instance might signify his concluding contribution in a United jersey.
This, it’s been said, provided United with sufficient reason to seek a different goalkeeper, resulting in their pursuit of Royal Antwerp’s Senne Lammens, who showcased an impressive debut performance against Sunderland in recent days.
Concurrently, Onana received communication advising that a year-long separation from the club might benefit him, yet indications suggest his tenure with United might be drawing to a close irrespective of his on-field showings from the present moment up to the culmination of the ongoing season.
