This time, everything will be done right, sure with a committee or two, in the effort to bring a new first-choice goalkeeper to Old Trafford. First goalkeeper Andre Onana has not stopped making big mistakes, on the contrary, this season the goalkeeper that former manager Erik ten Hag pushed for is even more varied in his game.
Altay Bayindir has yet to impress as a backup.
Both Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir are fighting for the future.
Andre Onana has been Manchester United’s starter ever since he arrived from Ajax in the summer of 2023 for £50.2 million. His tenure has included several outstanding performances, but also a large number of individual failures, especially this autumn have been critical.
The deputy, Bayindir, has not been able to impress in his place. The opportunities have been limited, but a flawed performance in the Carabao Cup defeat to Tottenham Hotspur has not helped his cause. The Telegraph reports that United have started their search for alternatives. The 22-year-old Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens has played his way onto the radar. But Manchester United are not alone, Borussia Dortmund are said to be eager for his signature.
Money is limited at Manchester United these days, so a new goalkeeper comes behind the priority of a new left-back. – In the case of Paris Saint-Germain’s Nuno Mendes a goal – but things could change if Bayindir chooses to leave for first-team football, which he has more than hinted at.
Even if Bayindir leaves, nothing will happen quickly, Manchester United will highlight 38-year-old Tom Heaton who after over 20 years and various loan spells is still at the club.
