Onana played 50 times in his second campaign and has now agreed a loan move to Trabzonspor.

The goalkeeper made just one appearance for United so far this season, which arrived in the defeat to League Two side Grimsby Town on penalties in the Carabao Cup.

A hamstring injury prevented Onana from being involved with the team during pre-season nd he made an error in his first game of the campaign as Uniteed suffered a humiliating Carabao Cup exit at Grimsby.
