Manchester United moved swiftly this summer to remove players deemed disruptive to the manager\u2019s plans, a process that has placed Andr\u00e9 Onana on the verge of a loan to T\u00fcrkiye. Sources inside the club say Ruben Amorim was reportedly \u201cdissatisfied\u201d with multiple aspects of Onana\u2019s approach during pre-season, a verdict that contributed to the decision to pursue a new goalkeeper.<\/p>\n
The club\u2019s clearout also included Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Jadon Sancho in what has been described as a deliberate effort to rid Amorim\u2019s squad of any undesirable figures, even if it does result in significant financial losses. Former United defender Rio Ferdinand voiced approval of that approach.<\/p>\n
Onana\u2019s troubles at Old Trafford have not been limited to errors on the pitch. The former Inter goalkeeper suffered a hamstring injury on the first day of pre-season, which reportedly added to Amorim\u2019s concerns. The 29-year-old\u2019s \u201cexpectation\u201d that he would be United\u2019s starting goalkeeper for the new campaign also left his boss \u201cdissatisfied.\u201d<\/p>\n
A report in The Athletic suggests off-field conduct was a factor as well. It states Onana \u201cruffled feathers\u201d among some figures at the club with his \u201cbig personality.\u201d Whether Amorim was among that group is unclear, but the combination of interruptions in pre-season and perceived attitudes appears to have shifted the club\u2019s view.<\/p>\n
United were not initially in the market for a new shot-stopper, but co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is said to have supported the decision to sign a goalkeeper after the first Premier League game of the season against Arsenal. Onana had been dropped for that fixture in favour of Altay Bay\u0131nd\u0131r, whose handling of Declan Rice\u2019s corner led to the match\u2019s only goal.<\/p>\n
Intriguingly, Onana was originally told to refrain from securing a new club before that stance shifted following the Deadline Day arrival of Senne Lammens. The chain of events has now left Onana poised to join Trabzonspor on loan as Manchester United reshapes the squad around Amorim\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
