Amorim Defends Bayındır After Costly Mistake in Manchester United Defeat
Sporting CP manager Rúben Amorim has backed goalkeeper Altay Bayındır following his critical error in Manchester United’s recent defeat. The Turkish shot-stopper, who joined United from Fenerbahçe in the summer, misjudged a routine save, leading to a decisive goal in a tightly contested match.
Despite the costly blunder, Amorim praised Bayındır’s overall contributions and resilience, emphasizing that mistakes are part of the game. "Every player has moments they’d like to forget, but Altay has shown great quality in training and previous matches," Amorim stated. "He’ll learn from this and come back stronger."
The loss adds pressure to Manchester United’s campaign, with fans and analysts questioning defensive reliability. However, Amorim’s public support highlights the importance of backing players through difficult phases.
Bayındır, who has been competing for the starting role with André Onana, will look to regain confidence in upcoming fixtures as United aim to bounce back.
