In a stunning twist, Manchester United have reportedly informed goalkeeper André Onana that he is free to leave the club — but only after the Premier League transfer window had already closed.

According to multiple reports, Onana has been made aware that he is no longer considered a key part of Erik ten Hag’s squad. The timing of the decision has raised eyebrows, with limited options now available to the former Inter Milan and Ajax shot-stopper.

One possible destination is Galatasaray, as the transfer window in Turkey remains open for a few more days. Additionally, clubs from Saudi Arabia are said to be monitoring the situation closely, offering lucrative lifelines as Onana assesses his next move.

United’s shift in direction became clearer on September 1st, when the club announced the signing of Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp. The 21-year-old Belgian is now expected to take over as the new No. 1 at Old Trafford, just a year after Onana was brought in as David de Gea’s successor.
