Overview
- United are close to finalizing a season-long loan to Trabzonspor before the Turkish transfer window closes on Friday.
- Onana fell out of favour after a run of high-profile mistakes, including errors in the Carabao Cup defeat at Grimsby, with nine errors leading to goals since last season.
- Altay Bayındır has started the Premier League matches and deadline-day signing Senne Lammens has pushed Onana down the pecking order, leaving derby selection to Bayındır or Lammens.
- Sources close to the player say the move will increase his net pay in Turkey through a signing-on fee and lower tax rates, while local reporting says there is no loan fee or purchase option.
- Separate reports indicate Sir Jim Ratcliffe supported moving Onana on and that West Ham considered, then declined, a loan after concerns over his form.
