Overview
- Altay Bayindir has started Manchester United’s first two Premier League matches ahead of Andre Onana.
- He was criticised for failing to deal with a Declan Rice corner that led to Riccardo Calafiori’s winner against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
- Bayindir kept his place for the 1-1 draw at Fulham, where he made a key save but again looked uncertain under crosses.
- Rio Ferdinand called for intensive training on aerial balls, urging coaches to fire deliveries under the bar and for Bayindir to toughen his communication and decision-making.
- Ferdinand also advised the keeper to alert referees to expected contact at set pieces, while The Sporting News says talks are reportedly ongoing for Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens.
