Manchester United have struck a deal to send goalkeeper Andre Onana to Turkish side Trabzonspor on loan, even though the English transfer window shut on 1 September.
The clubs have established a verbal agreement for the Cameroonian international, who earns £200,000 per week at Old Trafford.
The Turkish transfer window remains open until 12 September, allowing Trabzonspor to pursue the 28-year-old keeper.
According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, the arrangement between the two clubs is complete, with only Onana's personal approval needed to finalise the move.

However, the Cameroon international has yet to give any indication he wants to leave.
New manager Ruben Amorim has relegated Onana to the bench, selecting Altay Bayindir as his preferred goalkeeper for Manchester United's opening three Premier League fixtures this season.

The Turkish keeper has conceded four goals during this period.
Onana's sole appearance came during United's surprising EFL Cup second-round elimination by Grimsby Town.
This dramatic fall from grace represents a stark contrast to his status as the club's number one last season.

| REUTERSThe Red Devils strengthened their goalkeeping department on deadline day by acquiring Belgian international Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp, creating additional competition for the starting position alongside Bayindir.
United invested approximately £215 million during the summer transfer window, bringing in players including Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Diego Leon, Benjamin Sesko and Lammens.
The club also saw departures, with Antony, Marcus Rashford on loan, Rasmus Hojlund on loan and Alejandro Garnacho leaving Old Trafford.
Premier League clubs shattered spending records this summer, collectively splashing out £3.19 billion on new signings.
Liverpool led the charge with £446 million in expenditure, including a British record £125 million for Alexander Isak.
The goalkeeper must now decide whether to accept the loan switch to Turkey, where he would seek regular playing time after losing his starting role at United.
Should Onana approve the transfer, he would join Trabzonspor before their 12 September deadline.
