In a dramatic twist for Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana, whispers of a potential loan offer are making waves, especially with the recent signing of Belgian shot-stopper Senne Lammens.

Despite being part of the squad as the transfer window slammed shut, Onana finds himself sliding down the pecking order, now considered the third choice under manager Ruben Amorim.

United clinched an £18.2 million deal with Royal Antwerp for Lammens right on deadline day, and with both Onana and fellow goalkeeper Altay Bayindir struggling recently, Lammens might quickly become Amorim's preferred keeper.

While Onana is unlikely to attract offers from other Premier League clubs, opportunities are still alive in the Turkish Super Lig, which keeps its transfer window open until September 12. This could pave the way for a much-needed change in scenery for the former Inter Milan star.

Rumors indicate that Trabzonspor is gearing up to make a loan bid for Onana after missing out on Manchester City's Stefan Ortega. With the experienced German off the table, Trabzonspor's focus has now shifted entirely to securing the Cameroonian.

However, Trabzonspor must act quickly; both Saudi Pro League clubs and Turkish rivals are eyeing Onana, making his services a hot commodity.

Interestingly, there's speculation that Onana might even entertain a move to the Middle East, defying his initial commitment to stay and reclaim his starting role at Old Trafford. Yet, with his current situation looking increasingly precarious, a departure may be the best route to securing regular playing time.

Onana's contract runs through 2028, but with a potential one-year extension that Manchester United could activate, the club is keen on preserving his market value if he remains beyond 2026.

With 24 clean sheets from 102 appearances for the Red Devils, Onana's season has started poorly, his only game being a shocking EFL Cup exit against Grimsby Town.

The situation isn't just about Onana—Bayindir and veteran Tom Heaton are also affected by Lammens's arrival. Bayindir, initially rumored to leave after a lack of appearances, could now stay on as a direct competitor to Lammens.

Although he's had his own shaky moments this season, Bayindir seems to have surpassed the troubled Onana in the race for a starting position.

Meanwhile, the 39-year-old Heaton appears comfortable in his role as the third-choice keeper, providing necessary depth while filling a vital home-grown player slot for the Red Devils.

As the transfer window winds down, all eyes will be eagerly watching to see if Onana's time at United is drawing to a close or if he can salvage his spot in this unfolding drama.
