Andre Onana unlikely to return as Manchester United stand firm on summer exit

[p]Recent reports indicate that [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/onana-andre/OCuLGTrI/"]Onana[/a] is determined to report for pre-season and prove himself to the new manager, believing he still has a role to play at the club.[/p][p]The Cameroon international has spent this season on loan at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/trabzonspor/MmsYDc03/"]Trabzonspor[/a], but it is understood he feels he has unfinished business and is not prepared to walk away without a proper opportunity to re-establish himself.[/p][p][b]However, Flashscore insiders say [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/manchester-united/ppjDR086/"]United[/a]’s internal stance remains firm, with the club actively working to find a new destination for Onana during the summer window if required.[/b][/p][p]There is also expected to be movement in the goalkeeping department beyond Onana. Back-up goalkeeper [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/bayindir-altay/GxVeO5x1/"]Altay Bayindir[/a] is likely to leave, with a return to Turkey viewed as a probable outcome.[/p][p]As part of a wider squad reshaping, United will also be expected to recruit a new back-up goalkeeper.[/p][embed guid="883c4612-fb42-4dc7-b107-b941faa25196" url="https://x.com/MUFCScoop/status/2044747050487631993" social-type="twitter" /][p]Financial considerations will be a key factor in their decision-making, with 30-year-old Onana’s estimated £175,000-a-week salary seen as significantly out of step with what the club are willing to allocate to a squad player - particularly as a back-up keeper.[/p][p][b]It is also worth noting that he pushed for an improved contract last year before leaving, perhaps making United even less inclined to bring him back into the fold.[/b][/p][p]Meanwhile, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/lammens-senne/UFssg7X4/"]Senne Lammens[/a] has impressed since establishing himself as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper. United are understood to be pleased with the planning and recruitment process that led to his arrival.[/p][p]Barring a significant U-turn, it would come as a surprise if Onana were reintegrated into the squad ahead of next season.[/p][image alt="Dean Jones" id="0f685dd0-10a2-43d8-9966-361f00f7203c" credit-line="Flashscore" guid="40eee175-2321-480e-822b-a228997cd609" original-width="1200" original-height="380" /]
