Manchester United look set to say goodbye to goalkeeper Andre Onana, after his relationship with boss Ruben Amorim reached breaking point.
Reports claim Onana even refused to speak or acknowledge his manager in training before the international break. That moment showed just how far things had gone wrong between the two.
Onana, who joined United with high hopes, is now seen as the last bad influence in the dressing room.
Amorim feels his exit will clear the air and bring a fresh mood to the team. For the Portuguese coach, removing negativity is key as he tries to rebuild United into a side that works together.

Poor Start to the Season
Things fell apart right from pre-season. Onana picked up a hamstring problem on the very first days of training, leaving staff confused about his fitness levels. I
nstead of showing hunger to fight for his spot, he was said to lack energy and interest in team sessions. This created tension, and Amorim was far from impressed.
Onana’s displays on the pitch also gave fans little to cheer about. In the Carabao Cup clash against Grimsby Town, he let in two soft goals and failed to make a save as United crashed out after a long penalty shoot-out.
That night almost sealed his fate, with Amorim turning to Altay Bayindir in the league and signing Senne Lammens as further cover.
Fresh Start for United
For Amorim, this isn’t just about one player. United have already waved goodbye to other big names like Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony.
All were seen as players who didn’t fit into the new culture he wants at Old Trafford. Getting rid of Onana is the final step in that clear-out.
The United manager believes the squad now has a better spirit and fewer distractions. He wants focus, energy and togetherness every day in training.
With Onana heading to Trabzonspor on loan, Amorim can now move forward with a team fully behind him.
It looks almost certain that Onana has played his last game for Manchester United. A shaky showing on international duty this week only added weight to Amorim’s decision.
For fans, it is the end of a short but turbulent spell for the Cameroon international at Old Trafford.
Now the spotlight falls on Bayindir and Lammens to prove they can be the safe hands United need. Amorim has made it clear, only players who show the right attitude and commitment will survive under his reign.
