Head coach Ruben Amorim has officially confirmed his goalkeeper choice for the upcoming Manchester Derby. Altay Bayindir will start between the posts, while new signing Senne Lammens will remain on the bench.
This decision comes as Manchester United are dealing with several key injuries, including Matheus Cunha, Mason Mount, and Diogo Dalot. Amorim’s trust in Bayindir for such a decisive clash highlights the Turkish goalkeeper’s growing importance within the squad.
Since joining United, Bayindir has had limited opportunities to play. However, his recent solid performances in training sessions have impressed the coaching staff. With sharp reflexes and strong focus, Bayindir is expected to provide a reliable presence at the back as United prepare to face City’s relentless attacking firepower.
Meanwhile, Senne Lammens – United’s latest addition – will need more time to adapt to the pace and demands of the Premier League. Though he won’t feature in the starting XI, making the bench for a Manchester Derby is still a promising step forward for the young Belgian goalkeeper.
The Manchester Derby is not only a showdown between two of England’s most iconic clubs but also a tactical battle between Ruben Amorim and Pep Guardiola. United’s decision to start Bayindir adds another intriguing storyline to the highly anticipated clash this weekend.
