Altay Bayindir reaction to Man Utd blow speaks volumes as Ruben Amorim decision questioned

Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir was left furious during Saturday's match against Brentford at the G-Tech Community Stadium after conceding twice inside the opening 20 minutes. United went 2-0 down thanks to their own doing, with Igor Tudor grabbing both goals.

After the striker doubled his tally in the 20th minute, the goalkeeper could be seen pounding his fists on the ground. Bayindir had initially parried the ball away from Kevin Schade's cross before Thiago turned the ball home.

As it happened, the Turkey international could not hide his frustration. His reaction as he lay on the floor perfectly summed up what a terrible start to the game it was for Ruben Amorim's side.

Bayindir has now started every game in the Premier League this season and is yet to keep a clean sheet. After being preferred over Andre Onana, United did sign a goalkeeper but Senne Lammens is yet to gain any minutes.

The decision not to sign Emiliano Martinez or Gianluigi Donnarumma, who joined Manchester City , has been heavily criticised. United failed to strengthen one of its weak spots within Amorim's squad.

Fortunately for the Reds, Benjamin Sesko halved the deficit for United with his first goal for the club six minutes after Tudor's second. The striker was denied twice from close range before he smashed the ball into the roof of the net.

Brentford continued to be a threat from set-pieces, with Bayindir forced into a couple of saves to keep the home side out. Pressure will be on Amorim to decide for next week's clash with Sunderland to see whether Lammens will be handed his first start for the club.
