Report Says Man United Players Want 39-Year-Old Tom Heaton Considered in Goal

The club has not confirmed any change despite the manager publicly backing André Onana.

Overview

  • Unnamed sources told The Sun that some Manchester United first-team players believe Tom Heaton has outperformed André Onana and Altay Bayindir in training and should get a chance.
  • Altay Bayindir was reported to have made errors against Arsenal and Burnley after starting the league campaign, intensifying scrutiny of the position.
  • André Onana was blamed in the report for both goals in the Carabao Cup loss to Grimsby and faced criticism for not saving any penalties in a 12-11 shootout defeat.
  • Ruben Amorim publicly defended Onana, saying the team’s issues extend beyond the goalkeeper.
  • Separate reporting in The Sun said United have held talks over a potential £17m move for Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens, with no agreement announced.
