Rio Ferdinand supported Manchester United’s decision to loan Andre Onana to Trabzonspor, saying clearing underperforming players is vital. He praised football director Omar Berrada for ensuring the club no longer keeps players who are not contributing to the team. Ferdinand said United suffered for years by retaining unsuitable players due to financial mismanagement. He labelled Onana part of that cycle and welcomed his departure, believing the club must move on from individuals who fail to meet performance standards.

Andre Onana has agreed to join Trabzonspor on loan, with the Turkish club covering his full salary plus bonuses. The deal, without fee or purchase option, gives him a chance to rebuild his career after a disastrous stint at Manchester United. Signed from Inter Milan for £48m in 2023, Onana endured high-profile errors that saw him dropped from Ruben Amorim’s squad. With no permanent offers arriving, the 29-year-old turned to Turkey. He could nearly double his earnings through bonuses while restarting abroad.
