In the opening week of the Premier League, Manchester United hosted Arsenal at Old Trafford. National goalkeeper Altay Bayındır, who started in the first 11 in place of the injured Andre Onana, caused a goal with an error in the 13th minute. While the match ended in a 1-0 victory for Arsenal, Altay was subjected to intense criticism due to the goal he conceded.
ALTAY BAYINDIR IS THE TARGET OF HARSH CRITICISM
Sky Sports commentator and former Manchester United player Gary Neville criticized Altay Bayındır after the play with these words:
“This will continue to hurt Manchester United. The goalkeeper has to be stronger. He will say the opposing player made contact with him, but that is no excuse. At this level, if you come out for that ball, you have to protect your area.”
One of Manchester United's legendary names, Roy Keane, spoke about Altay Bayındır as follows:
"The goalkeeper must take control in the six-yard box. I have said it many times. That is your territory. You have to be more intense, more aggressive. Altay was very weak and soft in that position."
UNITED FANS REACTED TO BAYINDIR
According to a report by the Daily Mail, United fans showed intense reaction to national goalkeeper Altay Bayındır on social media.
One fan remarked, “I never thought I would miss Onana, Bayındır makes him look good,” while another user commented, “New season, same disappointments.”
