Manchester United initially thought they had just one unreliable goalkeeper, but their concerns have deepened after discovering they have two. In a recent match against Newcastle at St. James’ Park, goalkeeper Altay Bayindir made a critical error that directly led to a late goal by Bruno Guimarães. This mistake proved costly, as it contributed to a heavy defeat for Manchester United, highlighting ongoing issues with their goalkeeping situation and raising questions about their defensive stability during the match. The loss not only dampened the team’s spirits but also intensified scrutiny on the club’s selection choices and overall performance.
United is struggling with winning form and will be lacking confidence heading into Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final second leg against Lyon.
Amorim made five changes to his lineup, including leaving Onana out of the squad entirely. In the second minute, Bayindir was nearly beaten by Joelinton, but the Brazilian’s goal was disallowed due to an offside call. However, Tonali succeeded in putting Newcastle ahead in the 24th minute following a brilliant display of skill from Alexander Isak. Isak flicked the ball into the air and guided it perfectly into the path of the Italian.
