  • Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim confirmed Altay Bayindir will start in the Manchester derby against Manchester City, despite the recent acquisition of Senne Lammens.
  • United signed Senne Lammens from Antwerp for £18.1m, with Amorim stating the decision was a long-term investment in a goalkeeper with great potential.
  • First-choice goalkeeper Andre Onana was loaned to Trabzonspor for the season, a move Amorim indicated was mutually agreed upon due to performance struggles and a need for a change of environment.
  • Amorim explained that Lammens will compete with Bayindir for the starting position once he has adjusted to English football, acknowledging the league's unique demands.
  • Manchester United will be without injured players Matheus Cunha, Mason Mount, and Diogo Dalot for Sunday's derby, necessitating at least three changes to the squad.
