Onana
Andre Onana is currently on loan away from Manchester United, but reports suggest he still wants to return and compete for the No. 1 goalkeeper spot when his time in Turkey ends.
While playing for Trabzonspor, Onana has been getting regular minutes.
Data from league tracking platforms shows he has made around 18 league appearances this season, kept four clean sheets and made about 49 saves.
His save rate is estimated at roughly 69 percent based on available match figures from public performance databases that track the Turkish top flight.
Before leaving on loan, official Premier League records show Onana played 72 league games for United.
During that time, he kept 24 clean sheets, conceded 102 goals and made 239 saves as the club’s first choice goalkeeper.
Competition at Old Trafford has also moved on.
Senne Lammens is now the goalkeeper featuring regularly for United this season.
According to match data published by Manchester United and Premier League records, he has made 21 league appearances and kept four clean sheets so far.
In United’s most recent game, a 1- 0 Premier League win over Everton, Lammens kept a clean sheet and made four saves. Observation in the match notes he played a key role in helping secure the victory with several important stops during the match.
Onana’s latest appearance for Trabzonspor came in a 2-1 Turkish Süper Lig win over Gaziantep FK. ESPN match statistics show he played the full game and was involved in a competitive fixture that required several saves as his team secured the three points.
*How They Differ*
Onana is known for being comfortable with the ball and helping build play from the back.
During his time at United, he was heavily involved in distribution and often acted as an extra passing option for defenders.
His time at the club also came with pressure because United conceded a high number of shots, which naturally increased the workload in goal.
Lammens has looked steady since getting regular playing time.
He has improved with consistency, shown good positioning and handled crosses better as the season has progressed.
The Bigger Picture
United have not publicly confirmed how they plan to manage the goalkeeper position once Onana returns from loan.
Much will depend on training form, pre season evaluation and the coaching staff’s decision.
If Onana returns in strong form, the competition could reopen. If Lammens continues performing consistently, he strengthens his case to remain the starter.
For now, the race for the No. 1 spot remains open.
