According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the goalkeeper will return from his loan at Trabzonspor but is not in manager Ruben Amorim’s plans and will be placed on the transfer market.
In a decisive move for the club’s future, Manchester United have made a final decision on goalkeeper Andre Onana. According to top transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Onana is set to return to Old Trafford in the Summer of 2026 upon the completion of his loan spell at Turkish club Trabzonspor.
However, this return will be brief and procedural. Romano reveals the key details:
Man Utd are ‘extremely happy’ with young goalkeeper Senne Lammens.
Onana ‘will NOT be in manager Ruben Amorim’s plans.’
The club ‘will try to sell Onana’ in the Summer 2026 transfer window.
The most significant takeaway is the overwhelming confidence the United hierarchy has in young goalkeeper Senne Lammens. This decision indicates that Lammens has completely convinced manager Ruben Amorim and the sporting directors of his abilities, thereby making Onana’s position at the club obsolete.
With the loan deal to Trabzonspor containing no option or obligation to buy, Onana is contractually obligated to return to Manchester. However, he will not be given a chance to fight for his place and will instead be immediately listed for transfer.
This marks a pivotal moment in manager Ruben Amorim’s squad building plans, showing his full faith in the young goalkeeper Lammens and his readiness to end Onana’s United career after just one season away from the club.
