Altay Bayindir sends emotional message to Man Utd fans after surprise Newcastle blunder

Altay Bayindir has vowed to ‘keep fighting’ after he endured a nightmare Premier League debut in Manchester United’s 4-1 defeat to Newcastle.

Ruben Amorim decided to take Andre Onana out of the firing line after the the goalkeeper made two potentially costly mistakes in United’s 2-2 draw with Lyon in the Europa League just three days earlier.

‘You guys have to wait,’ Amorim replied when asked whether Onana or Bayindir will be given the nod at Old Trafford.

‘We are going to start the next week tomorrow and I’m going to choose the best starting XI for the next one.’
