Bayindir blunders Amorim stands by keeper after Arsenal grind out win

Ruben Amorim defended Altay Bayindir after goalkeeping blunders returned to haunt Old Trafford when the Turkish player's error allowed Riccardo Calafiori to head in the winner for Arsenal.

Amorim was also forced to deny that he had dropped André Onana from Manchester United's matchday squad, saying the keeper had not yet trained enough after injury.

Bayindir's mistake came from Declan Rice's 13th-minute corner, the Turk managing only to palm the ball on for Calafiori to head in. United complained that Bayindir had been impeded - William Saliba appeared to block him - to which Amorim pointed after the defeat.

"If you watch the ball, [the opponent] is allowed to do a lot of things at the corners," Amorim said. "We need to do the same. But when you touch that way [block], the goalkeeper needs to be able to use his hands to catch the ball, not push players out of the way. He chooses to push players and let the ball pass. But again, it's the rules. If it's allowed, we need to do the same thing."
