United’s Goalkeeper Dilemma: Onana or Bayindir?…
Manchester United’s head coach Ruben Amorim could be reversing the Cursed Keeper Chronicles by bringing Andre Onana back between the sticks against Fulham. Onana is fresh off a hamstring injury that kept him benched during pre-season and after some pep talks with his hamstring, he managed to squeeze himself into three training sessions before the Arsenal match. However, Amorim felt serving Onana up to the Premier League’s runner-ups was a bit like putting a marshmallow in a toaster, so Bayindir handled the task. United’s goal posts were less of a fortress and more of an open invitation as Riccardo Calafiori’s winner slid past. It’s rumored that Bayindir and Onana’s friendship is the only stable defense United currently has, yet a swap could send Bayindir’s confidence tumbling like a tower of Jenga blocks.
The drama doesn’t end there! United players got some downtime; a day of napping on Monday and gallivanting about on Tuesday. If Onana’s hamstring behaves, he’ll have clocked four training sessions by now. Traditionally, Bayindir, who cost a cool ÂŁ4.3 million, is no stranger to picking balls out of nets, with 21 goals conceded in 12 matches! It’s like a magician show where the ball disappears into the net in awe of its own mystery. Meanwhile, the potential goalkeeper musical chairs at Old Trafford has tongues wagging with rumors of recruiting Emiliano Martinez, although it’s still up in the air, much like any cross into the United box. Coach Amorim, however, casually swatted away the idea of starting Tom Heaton, likening it to bringing a spoon to a sword fight. As usual, the saga continues!
