Onana initially moved to Turkey last September when it became clear he had no future at Old Trafford. United would have preferred a permanent transfer to recoup a portion of the €50.2m they paid Inter Milan for his services in 2023.
The goalkeeper had previously built his reputation at Ajax before moving to Italy on a free transfer in 2022. Despite having two years left on his contract, United have decided against bringing him back to compete for a starting spot. Securing another temporary departure ensures his £120,000-a-week salary remains off their books, while the club actively look at targets to strengthen their depth.
