Man Utd are trying to offload goalkeeper Andre Onana in the summer transfer window after his loan spell in Turkey.
Onana is set to leave on loan again.
Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana is closing in on another loan move to Trabzonspor. United preferred a permanent sale of Onana this summer, but they will settle for a loan deal that covers his wages.
United will receive a loan fee for Onana, and Trabzonspor are set to cover his wages for a second season.
Onana started every league game for Trabzonspor last term, playing a crucial role as they finished third in the Turkish top-flight, and his performances earned rave reviews from the local press.

The Cameroon international has received a pay rise by playing for Trabzonspor due to Turkey’s 20% tax rate for players in the Super Lig.
United needed to sell Onana for around £20million in this summer window to avoid a loss under the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR). That figure will drop next year due to amortisation.
Ruben Amorim axed Onana at the beginning of the season, initially selecting Altay Bayindir as his first choice.
Senne Lammens earned first-choice status after his October debut. Bayindir has served as No.2, but the 28-year-old is also expected to leave the club this summer in search of regular game time as a No.1 stopper.
Lammens was named as the Premier League’s Transfer of the Season after an impressive first campaign at Old Trafford. The Belgian was undefeated in 28 of his 32 appearances for United, keeping eight clean sheets across the campaign.
Onana is contracted at United until the summer of 2028.
