The goal he scored made headlines in England! Statement from Amorim to Altay
In 2023, the future of national footballer Altay Bayındır, who transferred from Fenerbahçe to Manchester United, is in question. While he was expected to be the goalkeeper in Onana's injury, all eyes were on the national footballer after the Red Devils' goalkeeper search. United's technical director Ruben Amorim spoke about Bayındır and his team's goalkeeping rotation.
Manchester United suffered an Andre Onana shock before the new season preparations. The team's Cameroonian goalkeeper André Onana injured his posterior thigh muscle and could not participate in the preparatory camp. As a result of the first checks, it was reported that the goalkeeper would be out of the field for 6 to 8 weeks. It is considered a miracle that the player will be available for the first Premier League game on August 17.

TRANSFER RUMORS
Altay Bayındır was expected to take over the goalkeeping duties at Manchester United, with Onana out of action due to injury. However, recent claims that United were on the lookout for a goalkeeper caused surprise on the Bayındır front.
According to the English press, the Red Devils are interested in Antwerp's 23-year-old goalkeeper Senne Lammens. The player's name has also been linked with Galatasaray in recent days. It was also stated in the news that Manchester United made the first contacts for Lammens.
Allegedly, this decision also demotivated Altay Bayindir.

ALTAY QUOTES FROM AMORİM
United manager Ruben Amorim spoke about Bayındır and the goalkeeper rotation in an interview. Speaking to The Athletic, Amorim said that he believes Onana will 'get better' this season and gain more confidence with his teammates. Amorim also praised Altay Bayındır and Tom Heaton, saying that the goalkeepers are working hard to improve each other ahead of the new season.
"I think you can see the goalkeepers even when talking about Andre. Even Tom is weaker, he is a different goalkeeper. Altay has done really well and Onana will be better this year like the others"
