Manchester United’s goalkeeper situation has taken another twist. Andre Onana, once seen as the long-term No.1, is now at the center of fresh exit talk.
Reports (via United In Focus) linked the Cameroon international with a loan move to West Ham, but the truth behind those claims paints a different picture.
Onana has yet to start a Premier League game this season, with Ruben Amorim preferring Altay Bayindir.
That choice raised eyebrows, especially as Onana returned to training after injury and was still left on the bench.
With United chasing a deal for Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp, the spotlight on Onana’s future has only grown brighter.

Could Andre Onana leave Man United this summer?
According to Fabrizio Romano, there are no talks between United and West Ham regarding a loan. That should calm some nerves, but uncertainty remains.
United are close to adding Lammens, and one senior keeper will likely have to make way. Bayindir appears the more likely candidate, yet Onana’s name refuses to leave the rumor mill.
The bigger issue is trust. Amorim made it clear he is picking goalkeepers based on training, pre-season, and recent form.
“I am focused on our goalkeepers. Like every manager I look at the amount of training, what I see in pre-season, in the games and try to decide who is the best goalkeeper to use in a game and I am going to continue to do that,” he told BBC Sport. Those words suggest Onana has ground to make up.
Onana’s United career has been a mix of saves and slips. He was linked with a Saudi Pro League switch earlier in the summer and even a return to Inter.
Now, he could find himself behind both Bayindir and Lammens in the pecking order. For a goalkeeper who once played in a Champions League final, that’s quite the drop.
United fans will watch closely in the coming weeks. Will Onana stay and fight, or will this story end with a late transfer twist? Either way, it’s clear Old Trafford’s goalkeeper carousel is still spinning.
