Man Utd news: Unwanted player following Andre Onana to Turkey as injury latest revealed

Manchester United are edging closer to the Manchester Derby against Manchester City this weekend, with the international break now over.

Ruben Amorim has had plenty of time to come up with his game plan for United's rivals following their 3-2 win over Burnley before the break. The United boss could be getting the trip across the city to the Etihad Stadium at the perfect time, with Pep Guardiola's side reeling after consecutive defeats.

City are also riddled with injuries after losing to Tottenham and Brighton, giving United a real chance to come away with points on Sunday afternoon.

United have other things on their plate right now, too, with the transfer window in the Turkish Super Lig suddenly becoming of importance to the club. Here Mirror Football rounds up the latest headlines involving the club.

Injury latest

United have a few injury worries as we move towards Sunday's derby against Manchester City. Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount both went off injured in the 3-2 win over Burnley and their status is unclear before Amorim gives an update in his pre-match press conference. However, Cunha has posted promising updates on social media.

Diogo Dalot pulled out of playing for Portugal in the international break, due to "muscle discomfort" while Lisandro Martinez remains unavailable due to a long-term knee injury. It is definitely worse for City, who have lost Omar Marmoush to a knee issue sustained while playing for Egypt, while Phil Foden, Savinho, John Stones and Josko Gvardiol are among their doubts.

Onana mistake

Andre Onana has not been enjoying himself of late - and things didn't get better for him on international duty with Cameroon. The goalkeeper is heading to Trabzonspor on loan in the coming days following the £18million arrival of Senne Lammens at Old Trafford and his confidence it at rock bottom.

Onana was clearly at fault for Cape Verde's winning goal against Cameroon in their World Cup qualifier as he stayed on his line, making Rocha Livramento's task easier. The goal saw Cape Verde qualify for the World Cup for the first time, but only served to further underline Onana's struggles.

He is expected to complete his season-long loan to Turkey in the coming days and will be hoping to re-find some form in the Super Lig.

Malacia to leave

Manchester United have finally found a club for Tyrell Malacia. The unwanted defender was a part of the bomb squad over the summer with Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Jadon Sancho, but is the only one of them still at the club.

Thankfully, it seems Turkish side Eyupspor have come to the rescue to take the 26-year-old. Malacia joined United in 2022 from Feyenoord for around £13m, but has made little to no impact at the club, with injuries a major issue for him.

He had looked destined to leave for Elche, but that deal broke down on deadline day. Eyüpspor are now expected to seal the signing before the Turkish window closes on Friday, completing the exodus of Amorim's unwanted players.
