Ruben Amorim Altay Bayindir Andre Onana
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has remained coy on whether Andre Onana will return to the starting XI against Fulham, with Altay Bayindir’s costly error in last weekend’s loss to Arsenal putting the spotlight firmly on the goalkeeping situation at Old Trafford. Onana is now fit and back in the Red Devils' squad, but Amorim refused to confirm his selection.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Bayindir was handed an opportunity in the United team against Arsenal following Onana’s uncertain future and injury but came under fire after his mistake helped the Gunners secure a crucial win. The Turkish goalkeeper has endured a mixed spell since joining United, often deputising behind the Cameroonian. With Onana now available again, the decision over who starts against Fulham has become a major talking point.

WHAT AMORIM SAID
Speaking to the media, Amorim was asked about the goalkeeping situation ahead of Sunday’s game; however, the Portuguese coach kept his cards close to his chest. He said: “Onana is ready to play like last week, so we will see in the game who is going to be the goalkeeper. Licha is out, Nous is out, the rest of the guys are fit and ready to play.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Onana’s return to fitness gives United a dilemma, especially as the Cameroonian has been under pressure since joining from Inter Milan. Bayindir, meanwhile, has struggled to fully convince despite being given opportunities in recent weeks. With United needing consistency, the next few games could shape the pecking order between the two keepers and potentially nudge the Red Devils further towards the need to sign a new goalkeeper.

WHAT NEXT FOR MAN UTD?
Onana’s long-term future remains uncertain as United continue talks with Royal Antwerp over a €20m move for Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens. While Onana is unlikely to depart this window, the arrival of Lammens would put additional pressure on him to prove his worth. Amorim’s selections in the coming weeks will give a clearer picture of the Red Devils' goalkeeping hierarchy.
