Cameroonian goalkeeper leaves Old Trafford after losing first-team role
From FA Cup to Flop: Onana’s Mixed Legacy at United
André Onana, 29, endured poor spell at Old Trafford marked by high profile errors.
He lost his starting spot this season under new manager Ruben Amorim who preferred Turkish keeper Altay Bayındır. Onana’s only appearance came in shock defeat to 4th tier Grimsby in the League cup.
United'd already moved for Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens paving the way for Onana’s departure. The club’s statement read:
"We wish Andre the best of luck"
Signed from Inter Milan in 2023 for 47.2m sterling pound, Onana made 102 appearances winning the FA cup but also enduring disastrous 2023 /24 campaign in which United finished 15th in the PL.
