Onana Left Out as Bayindir Gets First Premier League Start Against Newcastle
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has chosen to leave Andre Onana out of the squad heading to face Newcastle in Sunday’s Premier League clash.
The decision comes just days after Onana’s costly mistake in their 2-2 Europa League draw against Lyon, where he let in a stoppage-time equaliser. Amorim has opted to give his first-choice keeper a breather, allowing him to reset mentally after recent struggles.
Stepping up in his place is Altay Bayindir, who’s now set to make his Premier League debut at St James’ Park. The Turkish shot-stopper will be looking to impress, with the return leg against Lyon at Old Trafford just around the corner. If he performs well, there’s a chance he might hold on to the gloves a little longer.
Though Amorim publicly backed Onana after the Lyon game, his decision to rest him this weekend suggests a need to ease the pressure. With United currently 13th and just seven games left, every decision counts as they push for a stronger finish.
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
