Overview

• Multiple outlets report a club‑to‑club verbal agreement for a season‑long loan, with completion dependent on Onana agreeing personal terms and formalities.
• The Turkish transfer window runs until September 12, and Trabzonspor are reported to be pushing to have Onana available for their September 14 match.
• Onana has lost his starting place after a hamstring layoff and a poor Carabao Cup display in the defeat to Grimsby, while Altay Bayindir has started United’s three league games.
• United signed 23‑year‑old Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for about £18.2 million on deadline day, a recruitment move some pundits such as Ben Foster have described as a ‘panic buy.’
• United currently have four senior goalkeepers — Onana, Bayindir, Lammens and Tom Heaton — leaving the No 1 role unresolved ahead of the Manchester derby, according to The Times.
