Altay Bayındır may not find the opportunity he expected at ManU! 'I have a feeling Tom will play'

Manchester United's signing from Fenerbahçe last summer, Altay Bayındır, has yet to find a chance to play for the English team. The Turkish goalkeeper was expected to take over the goal after the Red Devils' first-choice keeper Andre Onana left for the Cameroon national team for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, but things may not go as Altay hoped.

ONANA MAY RETURN EARLY

Whether Altay Bayındır plays in this match depends on whether Cameroon continues its journey in the Africa Cup of Nations. Having collected 1 point in its first two matches, Cameroon will face its final test in Group C tomorrow against Gambia. If Onana's team fails to get the result needed to advance from the group in this match, the 27-year-old goalkeeper will return to Manchester.

Manchester United does not have a Premier League match until Thursday, February 1. Before visiting Wolverhampton on February 1, ManU will face 2nd League representative Newport County away in the 4th round of the FA Cup on Sunday, January 28.

Ahead of this match, former Manchester United center-back Wes Brown believes that Tom Heaton, who is the team's third-choice goalkeeper, could play against the 2nd league team.

"I HAVE A FEELING TOM WILL PLAY"

The 37-year-old goalkeeper has only been able to play in 2 League Cup matches since returning to Manchester in 2021. In his statement, Brown said, "Tom has played for this team before. Obviously, he is very experienced. I watch him during warm-ups before matches. Everyone thinks he won't play, but he did a good job when he played before. I have a feeling Tom will play."
