Manchester United’s woes get bad to worse. The team struggles from a performance crisis on the field and other off-field issues. But its performance on the pitch is what disappoints the fans the most. But its biggest concern has been its goalkeeper. After Andre Onana’s repeated mishaps, the club’s second goalkeeper’s agent sends a powerful message to the club.

It has been six years since the club won a notable trophy. But United could not rectify the weak links. Right from the transfer to executions, it has been falling short of its own and fans’ aspirations. However, the club is looking for internal resources to combat the issues.

One loss can become another opportunity, as Andre Onana could not rectify his earlier mistakes. It can potentially open up opportunities for other stars in the squad, such as Altay Bayindir. Given such a chance, Bayindir’s agent declares he can solve the ongoing problems of the club. Altay Bayindir’s agent, Sefa Seyrek, said, “Bayindir wants to take over as Manchester United’s number-one goalkeeper before Onana goes to the African Cup! That’s his goal.”

The Turkish international arrived from Fenerbahce in the summer but got sidelined due to the presence of Andre Onana. However, renowned for his self-assurance and acuity, the star’s agent believes that he will imminently secure a spot on the team. Even coach Ten Hag has recently assured him that he will get a chance and advised him to be patient.

Onana could leave for national duties with Cameroon in Africa’s Cup of Nations that commences in January. But Seyrek feels that the youngster should replace Onana even before he departs for the international tournament. Even though the fans could be apprehensive, he is still confident that Bayindir will get his place.
