Manchester United had important decisions to make this summer. They had a number of players whom Ruben Amorim no longer fancied and the good thing is that the Red Devils have managed to move them on, either on permanent transfers or on loans.
Goalkeeping is a department that Man Utd were very keen on reinforcing back in the summer transfer window. Eventually, they waited until Deadline Day to secure the talented Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp in Belgium.

The 23-year-old is coming to Old Trafford expecting to become the #1, and this means that there is no place for Andre Onana in the squad.
As per Fabrizio Romano, the Cameroonian shot-stopper has secured a loan move to Trabzonspor.
The Italian journalist has confirmed that Onana is set to join the Turkish club on a season-long loan and has also revealed that he will earn slightly more than what he did at Manchester United, bonuses and signing fee included.
Onana earns around £120,000-per-week at Man Utd and it is good for the club that they have managed to get his wages off their books, albeit temporarily.
A good performance in Turkey could help the club move him on, permanently, next summer.
The ex-Ajax goalkeeper came to Man Utd with a lot of expectation and he had David de Gea-sized boots to fill. Onana had an excellent stint at Inter Milan, where he played an instrumental role in their Champions League run, but his time at Old Trafford has been far from perfect.
That said, it isn’t that Onana doesn’t have the talent. If he improves his application and concentration, he can go on to make a very decent career for himself. Now that Manchester United have moved on though, he is unlikely to have a future at the M16 and let’s wait and see how things play out.
