Altay Bay\u0131nd\u0131r has described a positive working relationship with Senne Lammens even as the pair contest the Manchester United goalkeeper position. Lammens made his United debut in last weekend\u2019s crucial 2\u20130 win over Sunderland and produced a confident display that has kept him ahead in the pecking order.<\/p>\n
Bay\u0131nd\u0131r, 27, spoke to Manchester Evening News and framed the situation as healthy competition rather than internal division. \u201cThat is the way, everyone has to be together, always,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have a good group, a good goalkeeper group, and we are always pushing each of ourselves on the pitch.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, we are fighting for the shirt, but in the outside, we have a good relationship, like how we did with Andr\u00e9. He\u2019s at Trabzonspor and he\u2019s doing well.\u201d<\/p>\n
The wider club context is uneasy. United have taken just ten points from their opening seven Premier League matches, are not competing in Europe this year and have already suffered a humiliating defeat to Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n
Bay\u0131nd\u0131r emphasised collective responsibility and ongoing improvement as the route back to consistent results. \u201cI can say football is a team thing. Everyone needs to work good, you know? Everyone needs to be focused. From my side, every day, after every game, we are improving ourselves and we\u2019re thinking what we need to do more.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the game, we are doing the analysis. We\u2019re seeing everything in the analysis, which parts we have to improve\u2014everything. When you can catch the routine, you can be better every game, because it\u2019s about experience. Also you\u2019re learning something from every game and that\u2019s the important thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Bay\u0131nd\u0131r the message is simple: internal competition should lift standards across the squad, and consistent analysis and work are the means by which both goalkeepers can contribute to better team performances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
