Manchester United’s Goalkeeping Crisis: What’s Next for Altay Bayindir and André Onana?
Manchester United’s goalkeeping situation is in turmoil as uncertainty surrounds backup goalkeeper Altay Bayindir’s future at the club. With Ruben Amorim now in charge, a reshuffling of the squad is underway, and Bayindir’s lack of first-team appearances could see him return to Turkey this summer. Meanwhile, the future of André Onana remains up in the air due to inconsistent performances and rumors of a potential move to Saudi Arabia.
United is actively pursuing replacements, with James Trafford, the star goalkeeper from Burnley, emerging as a primary target. Trafford has been in sensational form, setting a 1,000-minute clean sheet streak and even earning an England call-up. However, Burnley is unwilling to sell mid-season and has set a hefty £30 million price tag.
Additionally, Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp and Tyler Dibling from Southampton are also under consideration. As Tom Heaton nears retirement, United could need two new goalkeepers in the upcoming transfer window. The stakes are high as Amorim seeks to solidify the team’s foundation for the future.
Will Trafford or Lammens answer the call, or will Bayindir stay and fight for his spot? The goalkeeping saga is set to define United’s summer
plans.
