Manchester United fans have wasted no time to turn on Andre Onana after Altay Bayindir's performance in the FA Cup
Manchester United’s FA Cup win over Arsenal at the Emirates saw a standout performance from Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, who stole the spotlight, sparking hilarious reactions from fans online.
With Bayindir temporarily replacing Cameroon’s Andre Onana in goal for Manchester United, fans have asked for the move to be permanent.
Bayindir’s heroics leave fans in awe
The Turkish shot-stopper emerged as Manchester United’s hero, pulling off crucial saves that defined the match.
Bayindir denied Martin Odegaard from the penalty spot during regulation time and then thwarted Kai Havertz in the shootout, ensuring the Red Devils’ progression to the FA Cup fourth round.
Fans flooded social media to praise Buyindir, hailing his composure and reflexes under immense pressure.
Many were quick to credit him for the victory and reignited the debate surrounding Manchester United’s goalkeeper situation.
Fans turn on Onana amid Bayindir praise
As Bayindir basked in the glory of his performance, some Manchester United fans turned their focus on Onana, the club’s regular number one.
Social media platform X was rife with fans calling for Onana to be replaced, with extreme reactions even suggesting the Cameroonian should "return to Cameroon."
The backlash comes despite Onana’s consistent performances in the Premier League this season, where he has often been a reliable presence between the posts.
Critics argue, however, that Buyindir’s standout display should force Amorim to reconsider his goalkeeping hierarchy.
While it remains unlikely that Amorim will make a sudden change to his starting lineup, the FA Cup clash has undoubtedly given the Manchester United boss a selection headache.
