Even before the start of the game against Arsenal, Ruben Amorim made one thing clear: he wants a change in the goalkeeping position.
Throughout the preseason, he played Altay Bayindir as Andre Onana was injured.
However, during the pre-match press conference, Amorim informed that Onana and Joshua Zirkzee recovered in time for this game.
Zirkzee was on the bench, and Onana was nowhere near the squad. And the match was decided by a single goal, which came from a goalkeeping error by Bayindir, costing United the game.
After the game, Amorim was quite supportive of his goalkeeper. Truly, Bayindir’s ball distribution was far better in this game.
However, as a Manchester United goalkeeper, such mistakes are not acceptable. That is why Ruben Amorim has made a bold decision regarding the goalkeepers of Manchester United.
With the transfer window is still active, Manchester United saw a midfielder as a priority. However, Brighton and Hove Albion have shut the door on United’s prime target, Carlos Baleba.
As a result, Amorim is now demanding that the Manchester United board to focus on bringing in a new goalkeeper.
According to Fichajes, Ruben Amorim has told the United board that he doesn’t want to continue with Andre Onana as his first-choice keeper.
The Portuguese boss wants to have a new No.1 goalkeeper as Bayindir is far from taking that position. So, Amorim is adamant about having a new goalkeeper to replace Andre Onana.
Ruben Amorim has informed the Manchester United hierarchy that he doesn’t plan to include Onana in the squad, and they should look to sell the Cameroonian.
With the transfer window still open and the goalkeepers such as Emiliano Martinez and Gianluigi Donnarumma still available in the market, Amorim wants one of these two.
Now, it is up to the Manchester United board to back the manager by getting him the player he wants.
