JAKARTA - The arrival of goalkeeper Senne Lammens to Manchester United finally brought the victim. Goalkeeper Andre Onana, who did not want to be the third, is preparing to leave Old Trafford.

MU recruited Lammens from Royal Antwerp to compete with Onana and Altay Bayindir. Lammens became MU's choice after failing to borrow Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

Regarding the failure to bring Martinez, it would be strongest if the Red Devils never made an official offer to Villa. Because Villa has definitely refused the loan option and set a price of 30 million pounds for Martinez's buyer.

Because the loan option will be rejected, MU will immediately target Lammens. Moreover, at a price of 18.2 million pounds, MU has already received the 23-year-old goalkeeper who is likely to be the first choice under the bar.

Ya, manajer Ruben Amorim tampaknya tak menjadikan Lammens sebagai kiper ketiga dan bakal menjadi mainstayan MU dibanding Onana dan Bayindir yang kerap melakukan blunder.

The signal is not good for Onana, which last season was still the first choice despite conceding frequently.

This is what makes Onana will leave Old Trafford. The club also chose to lend the Cameroon national team goalkeeper.

The reason is that the English Premier Legue transfer market has been closed. According to Sport Mole, the elite Turkish club Trabzonspor intends to borrow Onana. Incidentally, the exchange in Turkey will only be closed on September 12.

Trabzonspor has actually targeted Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega. However, Man City refused to release Ortega, who remained the second goalkeeper after the arrival of James Trafford.

Meanwhile, first goalkeeper Ederson chose to go and join another Turkish club, Fenerbahce.

Failed to attract Ortega to make Trabzonspor intend to bring In Onana on loan. However, Trabzonspor may again fail to get a new goalkeeper. The reason is, they are competing with strong opponents from Saudi Arabia.

A Saudi Arabian League elite club is also eyeing the 29-year-old goalkeeper. The club's chances of adding players are still open because the transfer market in Saudi Arabia will only be closed on September 10.

Onana itself is still visible in contract with MU until 2028. The club also has the option of extending Onana's contract for the next 12 months if the former Inter Milan goalkeeper remains at MU until 2026.

Even though he often makes mistakes, Onana occasionally shows maximum performance. He has made 24 clean sheets during 102 matches in various competitions.

Onana last stood under United's crossbar against fourth division club Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup first half.

However, he seemed to be humiliated by the arena, making two blunders that led to goals. When on penalties, he could never thwart the execution of players from the League Two caste.

Only one execution can be thwarted. It also hit the crossbar. Otherwise, the ball will still enter. MU finally lost 12-11 and had to be eliminated in the early rounds.

Then what about Bayindir? This Turkish goalkeeper may be released if there is a club that wants him.

However, the veteran goalkeeper who has been the third, Tom Heaton, remains at MU. This original MU product will be Lammens' coating.
