Trabzonspor’s president, Ertugrul Dogan, publicly pleads for Manchester United loanee Andre Onana to stay beyond the current season. Onana has delivered impressive performances, including saving three penalties in a Turkish Cup quarter-final against Samsunspor.
Key statistics:
- Trabzonspor has scored 58 goals in the top-flight this season.
- 34.5% of these goals have come from aerial duels.
- Paul Onuachu leads the race for the Golden Boot with 22 goals, including nine headers.
- The team set a new Süper Lig record for headed goals in a single season.
Dogan expressed his admiration for Onana, stating, “We love him. As I’ve said before, he has a specific plan for his career. If the conditions are right, we want him to stay. The final decision will be Onana’s.” His performance has significantly improved since joining Trabzonspor on loan.
Onuachu’s contributions have been vital to Trabzonspor’s success this season. He has helped the team break previous records held by Trabzonspor and Besiktas for most headed goals in a single Süper Lig season, which was 19.
The future remains uncertain regarding Onana’s next steps. Officials have not confirmed whether he will extend his stay at Trabzonspor or return to Manchester United after his loan period ends.
