Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir showed off their workout skills during Manchester United’s training session before their game against Fulham. Both are competing hard for the prized No. 1 goalkeeper spot.
At the game, both goalies showed how determined and dedicated they were, but Bayindir needs to do some work to catch Onana in the goalie spot.Onana, who is known for being quick and good at controlling the ball, showed off his great speed and control of the penalty area. He showed how sharp he was by jumping to block shots and how well he could organise the defence.
The Cameroonian custodian has earned the trust of his teammates and the coaching staff by always being a strong last line of defence.But Bayindir, the Turkish custodian that was brought in from Fenerbahce, showed signs of what he could be during training. He was good at positioning and passing the ball, but there were times when he seemed hesitant and lacking the confidence that is needed at the highest level.
To really compete with Onana for the top spot, Bayindir needs to keep working on making good decisions and consistently stopping shots.Any team that has competition for the starting custodian job will benefit from having both players do their best. Right now, Onana has the upper hand because he is more experienced and has a better track record, but Bayindir is smart enough to beat him.With hard work and commitment in training, Bayindir can close the gap and make a case for the starting spot. The competition for Manchester United’s top custodian is far from over, and fans can’t wait to see how this exciting match ends.
