We don't have an outright number one goalkeeper, insists United boss
Manchester Evening News
|September 20, 2025
RUBEN Amorim has confirmed Manchester United do not have an outright number one goalkeeper.
United signed Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp on transfer deadline day for £18.2million, including add-ons, and the 23-year-old was on the bench for the Manchester derby.
Altay Bayindir has started in all four of United's Premier League matches this term, having arrived for £4.3m from Fenerbahce as backup to Andre Onana on deadline day in September 2023.
United allowed Onana to join Trabzonspor on a season-long loan earlier this month, leaving them without a clear and obvious first-choice keeper.
When asked whether Bayindir was the new United number one, Amorim replied: “No, nobody has a place that is his place. Everyone has to fight. Everyone is fighting for a place. I'm just trying to win games, trying to see what is the best option to win the next game.
“So, in the end of the season, maybe it's a different team on the pitch. We are just trying to win games. Trying to get the best connections to play better and, in the end, to win points.”
