Amorim defended Altay Bayindir, who made a mistake that allowed Arsenal to score the winning goal. The coach reiterated his confidence in the group of goalkeepers, including Andr\u00e9 Onana and Tom Heaton, but acknowledged the difficulty of transforming the team in a short period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0821%2Fr1534836_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Altay Bayindir&#039;s miscue against Arsenal brought renewed scrutiny on Manchester United&#039;s lack of new signings at goalkeeper.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<em>Altay Bayindir&#8217;s miscue against Arsenal brought renewed scrutiny on Manchester United&#8217;s lack of new signings at goalkeeper.<\/em>\n\nAccording to sources, the possibility of signing a new goalkeeper was discussed since January, but the reconstruction of the attack was prioritized after a season with few goals. More than \u00a3200 million was invested in new offensive players, which could delay other improvements, especially in the goal and midfield.\n\nA similar situation was faced by former coach Erik ten Hag in 2022, who prioritized reinforcing other key positions. Ten Hag chose to invest in Lisandro Mart\u00ednez, Casemiro, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia.\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Predicting how Wirtz, Gy\u00f6keres and other big Premier League signings will perform in 2025-26<\/li>\n<li>10 European stories to follow: Liverpool and City rebuild, Bar\u00e7a defense, more<\/li>\n<li>To keep pace with their Premier League rivals, Man United must master the art of offloading players<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\nOnana has had ups and downs at United, including spectacular saves and significant errors. In two years in the Premier League, he has made mistakes that have resulted in goals, and his save percentage is relatively low.\n\nUnited considered other goalkeepers in the transfer market, but did not finalize any deal. Additional funds obtained from potential departures, such as Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund, are expected to be reinvested in a midfielder instead of a goalkeeper.\n\nOnana would be available for around \u00a330 million, but there hasn&#8217;t been much interest. He is expected to regain his place for the match against Fulham on Sunday and, in principle, will remain United&#8217;s starting goalkeeper for at least another year.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amorim and the Manchester United Rebuild: A Long-Term Process In his first press conference of the season, Manchester United coach R\u00faben Amorim highlighted the improvements at the Carrington training center, which has been renovated with a \u00a350 million investment.
