MU once again revealed the “acupuncture point”, in the defeat of the home team before Arsenal in the first round of the Premier League. It is an instability position in the wooden frame. If not soon overcome, the Red Devils will most likely have a season to leave.
There was a MU player who was called “criminals” by fans, after a 0-1 defeat of the Red Devils in the first round of the English Premier League against the Arsenal visitors. It was goalkeeper Altay Bayindir. This is the match that the Turkish star was launched by coach Ruben Amorim from the beginning (instead of choosing Andrre Onana). And the 27 -year -old played the Portuguese teacher with a primary mistake, resulting in MU's only goal in the Super Sunday match.
Ever since David De Gea was pushed by former head coach Erik Ten Hag from Old Trafford to bring back to Andrre Onana, the position in MU's wooden frame was always very unstable. It became a fatal weakness, making the Manchester team often pay the price with the goals. The erratic performance has led Andrre Onana to push himself on the bench of the Manchester and Altay Bayindir teams that were given the chance to catch the main chance by Ruben Amorim.
After the 2024/25 season full of instability, MU has been very active to recruit soldiers in the summer market this year. They took turns to Old Trafford the “blockbuster” contracts such as Matheus Cuha, Bryan Mbeumo and most recently Benjamin Sesko … However, the Manchester team has not yet found enough talented people and range to stand in the wooden frame of the Red Devils. According to commentator Gary Neville, through the 0-1 defeat of Mr. Amorim's teachers and students, it can be noticed that the position of MU goalkeeper is giving emergency signals.
Altay Bayindir was bought by MU since the summer of 2023. The Manchester team only had to pay Fenerbahce 4.3 million euros. That “dirt” transfer fee alone is enough to reflect the instability in the wooden frame of the Red Devils. Obviously, MU did not have a reasonable investment for an extremely sensitive position on the field. If the Old Trafford home team does not quickly fix the mistake by urgently recruiting a high -class goalkeeper in the remaining days of the summer market 2025, MU may have to pay the price again with a 2025/26 season.
In a press conference after the 0-1 defeat of the home team before Arsenal in the first round of the English Premier League, coach Ruben Amorim showed discomfort when being questioned about goalkeeper Altay Bayindir. He tried to defend the Turkish goalkeeper. According to this 40 -year -old strategist, his students did not make a mistake. “Arsenal's goal must be rejected by the referee. Because Altay Bayindir was clearly fouled by the Arsenal player in this situation, before Riccardo Calafiori headed the goal,” Amorim said.
In fact, MU does not have to realize the serious problem in the wooden crew of the home team. In this summer market, they targeted a few goalkeepers, notably Gianlugi Donnarumma of PSG and Porto's Diogo Costa. However, for many different reasons, the Manchester team later faded with the above goals. According to the media of the foggy country, the Manchester team is targeting another name.
Specifically, MU's technical director Jason Wilcox has recently tried to catch termites with the representative of goalkeeper Emi Martinez. He really wanted to bring the Argentine player to Old Trafford to completely end the instability in the wooden frame of the Manchester team in the past few years. It is estimated that the best goalkeeper transfer fee at the 2022 World Cup finals will be about 40 million pounds.
