Manchester United lets go, salary doubled: Onana moves to Turkish Super League with less hassle and more money, earning over ten million pounds annually.

In the early hours of September 8th Beijing time, multiple media outlets reported that Manchester United's 29-year-old Cameroonian goalkeeper Onana will join Turkish Super League club Trabzonspor on a one-season loan. This keeper, disliked by fans and sidelined by Amroli, is leaving the Premier League for the Turkish league, doubling his salary and expected to earn over ten million pounds this season.

Onana is loaned from Manchester United to Trabzonspor without a loan fee or buyout option. Trabzonspor will cover his full salary and provide bonuses, effectively nearly doubling Onana’s income during this loan spell.

According to Transfermarkt and the salary disclosure agency Capology, Onana’s weekly wage at Manchester United was £120,000, totaling about £6.2 million annually. After moving on loan to Trabzonspor in the Turkish Super League, his base salary doubling means his annual earnings will exceed £10 million, marking the highest-paid season of his career.

Fans joked that everyone mocked Onana, yet he easily doubled his salary. Without European competition duties at Trabzonspor, Onana only needs to perform well in the Turkish league. As Cameroon’s number one goalkeeper, leaving the Premier League for Turkey won’t affect his starting spot on the national team. With the World Cup next year, if he can’t play at Manchester United, a loan to Trabzonspor is better. Onana’s struggles at Manchester United don’t mean he can’t succeed at Trabzonspor, since he was once the top Champions League goalkeeper at Inter Milan. Perhaps a change of scenery revives him—Onana is making money and regaining form simultaneously!
