Ruben Amorim explains goalkeeper choice for Manchester derby

  • Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim confirmed Altay Bayindir will start in the Manchester derby against Manchester City, despite the recent acquisition of Senne Lammens.
  • United signed Senne Lammens from Antwerp for £18.1m, with Amorim stating the decision was a long-term investment in a goalkeeper with great potential.
  • First-choice goalkeeper Andre Onana was loaned to Trabzonspor for the season, a move Amorim indicated was mutually agreed upon due to performance struggles and a need for a change of environment.
