Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim sees the departure of Andre Onana as key to his rebuild at Manchester United.
Cameroon keeper Onana is joining Turkish outfit Trabzonspor on a season-long loan.
Onana’s relationship with United boss Amorim broke down irretrievably over the past month.
A source claimed: “It felt like Andre was there to just show up but wasn’t there or showing any team mentality.”
Amorim was unhappy that Onana, 29, picked up a hamstring injury at the start of pre-season training.
All the more so as he had been filmed playing on a mud patch in his homeland in June.
Onana is one of a number of stars that Amorim has let go this summer.
He has already sent Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony packing.
And left-back Tyrell Malacia looks set to join Turkish side Eyupspor on a temporary deal.
United’s boss feels he has cleared the way for a more positive future and can kick on with preparations for Sunday’s Manchester derby.
Onana was left out of the starting XI for the opening Premier League games against Arsenal and Fulham. He then put in another error-strewn display in the humiliating Carabao Cup defeat at Grimsby.
It saw him dropped again for the Premier League win over Burnley before United made a deadline-day £18.2million swoop for 23-year-old Belgian Senne Lammens.
And it has emerged that insiders felt Onana was showing a lack of involvement and interest in working for the team in the final days before the international break.– SunSport
