Despite persistent rumors about his future, André Onana plans to report for pre-season training with Manchester United in July. The Cameroonian goalkeeper, who spent the 2025-2026 season on loan at Trabzonspor in Turkey, intends to honor his contract with the Red Devils.
Onana is expected to rejoin Manchester United in mid-July after completing his loan with Trabzonspor. His last game with the Turkish club is scheduled for this Friday in the Turkish Cup final against Konyaspor.
Several sources indicate that Manchester United may look to sell Onana this summer. The club reportedly wants to reduce its wage bill and has already solidified Senne Lammens' position as the number one goalkeeper. Lammens' arrival has relegated Onana, and the club is actively exploring options for a transfer.
However, Onana is reportedly determined to return to England and fight for his place in the team. Despite the club's apparent desire to part ways with him, the Cameroonian goalkeeper wants to prove his worth and challenge for the starting spot. His contract with Manchester United runs until June 2028.
The situation remains uncertain, and Onana's future at Old Trafford is far from guaranteed. The club may choose to exclude him from the main group during pre-season to facilitate a potential transfer. Other clubs, including Trabzonspor, are said to be interested in his services, but Manchester United's financial demands could be an obstacle.
Meanwhile, Manchester United may offer a new one-year contract to veteran goalkeeper Tom Heaton to ensure some stability within the goalkeeping department. The club must also make a decision on the future of Radek Vitek, who impressed during his loan spell at Bristol City.
The coming weeks will be crucial in determining André Onana's future and the composition of Manchester United's goalkeeping group for the upcoming season. Club management will have to make difficult decisions to balance sporting ambitions and financial constraints.
