Manchester United’s goalkeeping troubles have been in discussion within the fanbase and media for some time now.
Andre Onana made two blunders in the Grimsby Town game on Tuesday, where the Red Devils lost on penalties.
The Cameroon star only managed to save one out of twelve penalties, for which he faced great criticism after the game.
Altay Bayindir started both Premier League games beforehand and his overall game looked improved.
Despite a mistake from a corner against Arsenal, his distribution looked great and he nearly got an assist against Fulham from his pass to Matheus Cunha.
Senne Lammens is close to joining the Red Devils.
Lammens would be expected to be the first-choice keeper when he walks in, given the team’s struggles.
And now Bayindir has been chosen over Onana again.

CentreDevils can exclusively reveal that Altay Bayindir is expected to start once again today against Burnley and has been chosen over Andre Onana.
Andre Onana trained with the first team this week but is set to not be chosen again.
Amorim openly supported Bayindir despite the mistake that resulted in the goal against Arsenal, highlighting his faith in the Turkish goalkeeper’s ability and long-term worth to the team.
This could be seen as a message sent by Ruben Amorim to show that bad performances will be punished for.
In recent weeks, attention has turned to Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens, who has impressed at Royal Antwerp and has been the subject of intensified discussions with the Red Devils.
The potential arrival of Lammens highlights United’s commitment to planning ahead, balancing immediate performance needs with long-term succession planning between the sticks.
While initially the plan seemed to be to let Lammens battle Onana for his place, it seems he will battle Bayindir, with the Turkish goalkeeper in higher regard in Amorim’s eyes.
