Many have questioned if Bayindir’s recent performances may have earned him the chance to stake his claim for a regular starting role in the Premier League, though manager Ruben Amorim insists Onana’s benching in Europe was pre-planned and nothing to do with his blunder against Brighton as he looks likely to come straight back into the starting XI for this weekend’s clash at Craven Cottage.

Amorim would like United to build up with a genuine three at the back, rather than the four it has been when protection is the first priority. At Anfield, United took the lead because Martinez sensed a moment to press high, snapping into Mohamed Salah to win the ball and then stay up to receive Fernandes’ slipped pass.

Ruben Amorim has said he will not change his style even though his team are being the "worst in the history of Manchester United."
