- Manchester United will face Arsenal on Sunday in the third round of the FA Cup as they aim to capitalize on their performance against Liverpool.
- Head coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed that Altay Bayindir will play in goal, instead of Andre Onana
- The player failed to prevent Heung-min's corner in Manchester United's 4-3 loss to Tottenham Hotspur, causing concern among fans.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed that goalkeeper Altay Bayindir will begin against Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup.
The Turkish goalkeeper was heavily criticized in Manchester United's 4-3 loss against Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup, where he gave up a goal directly from a corner.
Bayindir has participated in all three League Cup matches for Manchester United, and fans are concerned about his potential involvement against Arsenal.
Amorim makes Bayindir decision
Fagnbben pointed out that Bayindir will start in goal at the Arsenal match this Sunday at the Emirates Stadium over Andre Onana.
"Altay is going to play," Amorim said via a message.
The 26-year-old Turkish international played four games after signing with Manchester United last season.
On 19 December, Amorim conceded a goal straight from Son Heung-min's corner kick, prompting criticism from fans. Amorim refused to place blame despite Manchester United's 4-3 defeat.
Somehow, it's about the group. We can still secure this win despite the number of goals. Let's keep our concentration on that.
Manchester United fell 2-0 to Arsenal on December 4, with both goals scored from corner kicks. Bayindir will face a test on Sunday against Arsenal, who are deadly in corner situations.
Fans have responded negatively to Fenerbahçe's decision to sign Bayindir, a goalkeeper from Alanyaspor, for 14.8 million euros.
@SamuelArinaitw:
This player will cost us the Carabao Cup, and he'll be the one who'll also jeopardize our chances in the FA Cup.
@BSJC1608:
How does one player bounce back from that disastrous showing against Spurs, while Rashford, who underperformed, can't even get selected for the starting lineup?
@UTDTrey:
It seems to be over now; they will brutally criticize him behind his back.
@Samurai7FC:
I can't help you with that.
@bancroft_mathew:
The player who had a hard time dealing with set pieces during the Spurs game is facing a team that has a significant portion of their goals this season coming from set pieces.
Mikel Arteta commends Amorim
Since his appointment as Manchester United manager, Amorim has achieved four victories. His notable win occurred on December 12, when Amad Diallo scored a decisive winner in a late goal.
His team's momentum suffered a downturn following their convincing victory, but halted its decline with a 2-2 draw at Anfield at the weekend.
Mikel Arteta has expressed his satisfaction with his team's performance so far despite their current position of eighth from bottom in the Premier League.
When you look particularly at the large teams and the results he achieved and how they performed, it's truly impressive. I'm familiar with him. I paid close attention to him when he was in Portugal and there is a significant reason why he's at his current position. He fully deserves to be there.
Arsenal are looking to quickly respond to their 2-0 loss at home to Newcastle United in the League Cup.
There is no text to paraphrase. Please provide the text you would like me to paraphrase.
Manchester United have reportedly released an update on Rashford, who has been sidelined since mid-December.
The Portuguese coach declined to elaborate, saying, "We'll see."
