Manchester United Manager Ruben Amorim Has Explained The Reason Behind Goalkeeper Andre Onana’s Loan Departure To Turkish Side Trabzonspor.
The 29-Year-Old Shotstopper, Who Joined United Last Season, Lost His Place As The Club’s First-Choice Goalkeeper After Missing Pre-Season Through Injury. A Series Of Costly Errors Further Affected His Confidence And Position, Leading United To Sign Belgian Goalkeeper Senne Lammens For £18.2 Million On Transfer Deadline Day.
When Asked If Onana Could Have Stayed To Fight For His No 1 Spot, Amorim Said:
“For Us, He Could Have Continued, But I Think Not Just Us As A Club, But Also Andre – We Understood That This Needed A Change. Sometimes It’s Not About Performance, But About Timing And Luck. Some Moments Were Hard On Him And Hard On Us, So We Believed It Was Time To Make A Change. I Wish Andre The Best.”
Amorim Added That Onana Remained Professional And Supportive Within The Squad, But Insisted That A Fresh Environment Was Necessary:
“Sometimes You Can Have All The Quality In The World, But You Need A Change Of Environment To Return To Your Best Level. That Was The Feeling, Not Just From Us, But From Andre Too.”
Onana Will Now Look To Revive His Career In Turkey With Trabzonspor, While United Move Forward With Lammens As Their New First-Choice Goalkeeper.
Key Takeaway: Amorim Emphasized That Onana’s Exit Was Not Just About Performance But About The Right Timing For Both Club And Player, Highlighting The Importance Of A Fresh Start In Football Careers.
