The Disaster Cameroon player will leave for Türkiye this week, and none of the United fans are sad to see his departure.
“You want to tell me in six months the best goalkeeper in the Champions League last season can be the worst in the world? No. Everything is temporary,” Andre Onana told Sky Sports In December 2023 after the beginning of his mistake career at Manchester United. “I know everything will be fine. If not today, there will be tomorrow, if not tomorrow, the day after tomorrow.”
Nearly 21 months after the interview, it can be said that Onana’s confidence was not in accordance with reality. The former Inter Milan goalkeeper was not in “the worst in the world” at that time, but it seemed like it was the title he had tried to achieve since then.
There are many mistakes that caused the bad season of 2024-25 to United, which made them finish in the 15th position in the Premier League table, but Onana became a symbol of their failure. He became an easy target for the opposing team and constantly ruining the efforts of his team-mates with his shocking inability among the goalpost.
As a result, Onana has lost the trust of head coach Ruben Amorim, who started a new campaign with Altay Bayindir in goal, before recruiting Senne Lammens who was 23 years old from Royal Antwerp on the time limit. It is estimated that Lammens will be United’s new goalkeeper No.1, despite the lack of experience, because Bayindir is also proven to be a reliable choice, while Onana is now being transferred to Türkiye.
The Cameroon international has agreed to join Trabzonspor on loan for one season, which, amazingly, gave him the opportunity to almost double his salary at this time. However, this move also effectively ended his time at the highest level of this sport. Onana has performed very badly at Old Trafford so that his reputation that was once proud is now destroyed, and he will be recorded as United’s worst purchase in the last 20 years, a achievement given how many players have failed who have passed this club since the Glazer family takers in 2005.
