Manchester United and Trabzonspor have reached a verbal agreement to take Andr\u00e9 Onana on loan, with the goalkeeper understood to be open to completing the move before Turkey\u2019s transfer window closes on Friday.<\/p>\n

The Cameroonian has lost his place to Altay Bayindir this season. Onana has started only United\u2019s Carabao Cup 12-11 penalty shootout loss at Grimsby<\/a>, in which he was culpable for both goals in the 2-2 draw in regular time.<\/p>\n

The terms of the deal with Trabzonspor<\/a> are still being worked on before Onana makes a final decision.<\/p>\n

On Monday\u2019s transfer deadline day, United signed Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp<\/a> for \u20ac21m (\u00a318m) to strengthen their options. With Lammens, Onana, Bayindir and Tom Heaton, the head coach Ruben Amorim has four goalkeepers in his squad.<\/p>\n

Yet with Onana expected to be part of Cameroon\u2019s squad for the African Cup of Nations and so unavailable for up to six weeks from mid-December, Amorim had been relaxed about having a quartet of keepers. Trabzonspor\u2019s interest in the 29-year-old prompted a change in his stance.<\/p>\n

Yet if Onana does complete the loan move, United could be exposed. Bayindir has made only seven Premier League appearances and has proved error-prone, while the 39-year-old Heaton last played in the league for Aston Villa in January 2020. The 23-year-old Lammens has never played in English football.<\/p>\n

On signing, the Belgian said: \u201cI think if you want to be a good goalkeeper, you have to be a rock behind the defence. They have to trust you and count on you in difficult moments. That is something I take pride in. One of the best attributes you can have as a goalkeeper is staying calm under pressure, in any circumstances, even if you make a mistake or something. You just move on and try to give your best to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United and Trabzonspor have reached a verbal agreement to take Andr\u00e9 Onana on loan, with the goalkeeper…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":119869,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-119868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119868\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
