"Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has shed light on his decision to start Altay Bayindir ahead of Andre Onana, confirming that the choice was purely a technical one. The move raised eyebrows before kick-off, with Onana dropping to the bench, but Amorim insisted it was part of his responsibility as manager to make difficult calls in the interest of the team."
"Just try to see the game, try to imagine the next game and try to put the best players to win the game, so I did that. Amorim's decision to turn to Bayindir once again this week shows that the Portuguese manager does not have much faith in Onana, who has struggled during his difficult time at Man United. Bayindir has spent most of his career at Old Trafford as the back-up option to Onana"
Ruben Amorim started Altay Bayindir ahead of Andre Onana, describing the choice as a purely technical decision. Onana dropped to the bench for the match and had also missed the season opener against Arsenal. Onana had been omitted from the squad the previous week but was selected this week only as a substitute. Amorim framed the selection as a managerial responsibility to pick the best players for each game and to imagine future fixtures. Bayindir has been United's backup to Onana but has been chosen for the opening two matches. Amorim emphasized that the omission was tactical, not punitive, and that no position is guaranteed.
