Manchester United will have problems with their goalkeeper in January.
Andrzej Onan and Altay Bayindir made high-profile errors against Tottenham and Wolves and were now tasked with adding decisiveness to the Red Devils’ defence.
Manchester United have scored 23 goals since Ruben Amorim arrived at Old Trafford, and the 39-year-old is clearly becoming frustrated with the number of individual errors leading to goals.
Manchester United’s young star Elyh Harrison will be closely watched after an impressive loan spell at Chester FC
21-year-old goalscorer Elyh Harrison has returned from a successful loan spell at Chester FC and the youngster is expected to train with Manchester United’s first-team goalkeepers again.
Harrison kept seven clean sheets for National League North side Chester FC but was recalled earlier this month.
Manchester Evening News says that another loan period higher in the pyramid is being considered. The club also does not rule out selling it if it presents the correct amount of money.
Bayindir’s future is also in doubt after making just a handful of appearances since arriving last summer. The Turkish international has largely played the role of Onana’s understudy, but rumors of his departure from England have been circulating in recent weeks.
Manchester United has not been able to solve its goalkeeper puzzle since the high-profile departure of David De Gea – the Fiorentina player left the club in July 2023.
Dean Henderson and Matej Kovar are two other goalscorers who came through Manchester United’s exemplary Carrington academy but were unable to break into the first team on a regular basis.
IN FourFourTwo viewit’s a situation that almost makes you scratch your head. Manchester United has developed some great goalkeepers over the years, but it always seems to be the ones who bring the most promise to the club.
Is Onana the answer to Amorim’s problems? We’re not sure. Especially given Mirror recently announced that INEOS is open to offers everyone a club player who will help raise the necessary funds this month. The plot in the Theater of Dreams continues to thicken.
