In a surprising tactical move, Manchester United’s goalkeeper Andre Onana is set to watch from the sidelines this weekend as Altay Bayindir takes center stage against Arsenal.
This decision marks a significant shift in the Red Devils’ approach to one of their biggest Premier League clashes.
Sources close to the club confirm that manager Erik ten Hag has opted to give Bayindir, the Turkish shot-stopper signed from Fenerbahçe, his Premier League debut.
The decision comes amidst recent scrutiny over Onana’s performances, particularly in high-pressure matches.
Bayindir, known for his reflexes and commanding presence, has been training intensively since his arrival at Old Trafford and will now have the chance to prove his mettle against one of the league’s most potent attacking sides.
Fans and pundits alike are eager to see how this gamble plays out, as the clash at the Emirates Stadium could have significant implications for United’s season trajectory.
All eyes will be on the young goalkeeper as Manchester United aims to bounce back and secure a critical victory against their arch-rivals.
