Ruben Amorim has confirmed Altay Bay\u0131nd\u0131r will keep his place in goal for Manchester United\u2019s trip to Manchester City on Sunday. The decision leaves Lammens waiting for his chance, despite expectations he might move straight into the first team.<\/p>\n
\u201cAltay is going to continue,\u201d Amorim said in his pre-match press conference .<\/p>\n
Amorim underlined the adjustment required for a goalkeeper arriving in the Premier League and the value he places on experience. \u201cIt is a different league, different country, different ball. I know that we are in the moment that the goalkeeper needs to be really strong and have a lot of experience.<\/p>\n

The manager also spoke about the club\u2019s need for stability since Sir Alex Ferguson\u2019s retirement in 2013 and how individual players have often struggled amid change. On the subject of a transformational signing in goal, Amorim referenced Edwin van der Sar\u2019s arrival in 2005.<\/p>\n
“We had a situation in the past with goalkeepers where we spent a lot of time trying to get a goalkeeper and then Edwin van der Sar came and was like a different player in that position,\u201d Amorim said.<\/p>\n
Asked who might follow in Van der Sar\u2019s footsteps, Amorim backed Bay\u0131nd\u0131r to take a step forward. \u201cThis week I hope to see Altay Bayindir doing well like Van der Sar. Then in the future, they have to fight for the places. We as a team can help the goalkeepers be better. We are doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Turkish international faces a significant challenge at the Etihad. Bay\u0131nd\u0131r has started the first three games of the season and has yet to keep a clean sheet. A mistake in the season opener against Arsenal allowed Riccardo Calafiori to score what proved to be the winner, and United have collected four points from a possible nine so far.<\/p>\n
Andr\u00e9 Onana, before leaving, made two errors against Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup second round as they were shockingly upset by the League Two side on penalties .<\/p>\n
