Goalkeeper Drama at Manchester United…
Andre Onana’s future at Manchester United is as clear as muddy water after the transfer window closes. Onana’s convinced he had job security when United struck out on a loan for Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez. Despite reassurances, United’s curiosity in signing Martinez on deadline day and chatting up Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp has kept him on the edge—like a cat trying to land on a tightrope! He was benched after turning into a goal magnet during United’s surprise League Cup exit against Grimsby Town.
The search for a reliable goalie is Manchester United’s round-the-year mission. Altay Bayindir, who played all three league matches, is starting to look more like an unintended assist machine with his weekend blunder helping Burnley. Inside buzz is that confidence in both goalies is like a fish trying to bicycle uphill! Coach Ruben Amorim feels the pulse, saying it’s as hard to be a Man United goalie these days as juggling flaming coconuts. He’s spotlighting a total team effort for mishaps though, hinting at improvement all around.
