The good old days of Man united is gone, right now Nobody Even know who to blame again’: Man united legend Paul Scholes says the problem of Man united now is £70m whose impact in the games this days is very poor

It’s no secret that Manchester United have struggled in the goalkeeper department since David de Gea’s departure in the summer of 2023.

Andre Onana, once hailed as the next great shotstopper at Old Trafford, fell wildly short of expectations following his move from Inter Milan.

Now, it remains to be seen whether new signing Senne Lammens could be the man to restore some faith in the position.

You can absolutely sympathise with the decision to avoid lumping the Belgian in between the sticks in one of the biggest games in United’s calendar: the Manchester derby.

However, in the meantime, Red Devils fans will be forced to grin and bear their way through 90 minutes with Altay Bayindir in goal.

The 27-year-old Turk isn’t a totally inept shotstopper, however, in a similar vein to Onana, he’s prone to some heart-in-the-mouth errors.

Take, for instance, his bizarrely heavy touch eight minutes into the first half, which came close to gifting a lurking Erling Haaland an easy opener.

“A really poor touch. When the ball is coming to you, you have got to take the pace out of it,” the former Manchester United man was speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live (via BBC Sport).

Footage shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @MUFCDarren_ (courtesy of NBC Sports on Peacock) showcased the heart-rate-raising moment.
