Manchester United's Goalkeeping Situation Ahead of Derby
Manchester United's manager Ruben Amorim confirmed that goalkeeper Altay Bayindir will remain the starter for the upcoming derby against Manchester City, despite the recent signing of Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for 18 million. Bayindir has faced criticism for his performances in the Premier League, particularly in matches against Arsenal and Burnley. Following a poor showing in the League Cup, Andre Onana has been loaned out, leaving Bayindir as the primary option for now. Amorim acknowledged Lammens' potential but indicated that he will not rush him into the starting role against City, as adapting to a new league and training environment takes time. Despite a rocky start to the season with only four points from three games, Amorim believes his team has shown signs of improvement and is more prepared than when they last faced City, which resulted in a victory. However, injuries to Matheus Cunha, Mason Mount, and Diogo Dalot will affect the squad for the match.
