Andre Onana is nearing the Manchester United exit door following recent transfer developments and Mark Goldbridge believes the goalkeeper must depart.
Onana picked up an injury during Man United’s pre-season which kept him out of the club’s tour of America and Ruben Amorim has preferred Altay Bayindir over the 29-year-old this season.
Man United have signed Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp, to further push Onana towards an Old Trafford departure.
The Cameroon international joined Man United from Inter Milan in 2023, though costly errors have plagued his time at the club.

Onana looks set to join Trabzonspor in Turkey on a season-long loan after a verbal agreement was reached between the club’s.
Speaking on The United Stand XTRA [6 September], Goldbridge reacted to the news stating it is the right decision for Onana to leave after he endured a “horrific” match against Grimsby.
“I think Onana just has to go, if you had any reservations that Grimsby game was just absolutely horrific, Goldbridge said.
“Amorim doesn’t dislike Onana it’s just like liking someone and then saying you’re not good enough to start in my team.
“It’s sad end for Onana at United because that Grimsby game will be his last game.”
Man United were knocked out of the League Cup by fourth tier Grimsby after the match went to a penalty shootout which the Red Devils lost 12-11.

With the arrival of Lammens, it looks like another changing of the guard in goal is in the offing at Old Trafford.
After the departure of David de Gea, Onana was supposed to usher in the new possession based approach.

However, Onana has often proved to be a hinderance at the back and patience has run out at the club, with a new number one required.
