Player refuses to acknowledge Man Utd boss in training, Amorim sees him as negative Carrington influence

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana refused to acknowledge head coach Ruben Amorim in training before the international break, according to the Sun.

The Red Devils star was also showing a lack of involvement and interest in working for the team in the final days before the break.

Onana’s relationship with the Portuguese has broken down since the start of pre-season, when the Cameroon international picked up a hamstring injury in the first training sessions for the new season.

The out-of-favour Man United goalie is set to join Trabzonspor on loan, and Amorim feels that his exit has cleansed the last remaining negative training ground influence.

The Red Devils boss believes getting rid of Onana will give his dressing the atmosphere he wants after the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony were shown the exit.

It emerged that the Cameroon international had been playing on a dangerously muddy pitch back at home during the break.

Onana returned to the club this summer wanting a new contract, which did not go down well with Amorim.

He reported an issue with his hamstring on day one of pre-season, and then a full injury on day two.

It left Man United staff questioning what shape he was in after the summer to suffer such a problem straight away.

Amorim has been using Altay Bayindir as his first-choice goalie in the Premier League so far this season, while highly-rated Belgian Senne Lammens was signed on transfer deadline day.

Onana was in goal when Man United faced League Two club Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup, but he was at fault for the two goals conceded and did not make a save in the 12-11 loss during the penalty shoot-out.

It is safe to say he has played his last game for the Old Trafford club, with another shaky performance while on international duty this week justifying the decision of the Red Devils to part with him.
