by Manchester United suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Newcastle United in the 32nd round of the English Premier League. The first half ended in a 1-1 draw, but after the break, the Magpies netted three more goals against the Red Devils.
One of the main talking points of the match was the goalkeeper change for the Manchester club: André Onana was not even in the squad, and Altay Bayındır took his place between the posts.
Interestingly, analytical platforms rated Bayındır as the worst player in this match. Flashscore gave the goalkeeper only 5 points, while Sofascore rated him 5.5. For comparison, the best player for Manchester United was Alejandro Garnacho (7.4 – 7.3), and the man of the match was Harvey Barnes (8.4 on both platforms).
In this match, Altay managed only 2 saves while conceding 4 goals, along with a glaring error on Newcastle’s fourth goal.
This was Bayındır’s debut Premier League match for Manchester United. Since September 2023, when the Red Devils signed him from Fenerbahçe, he had only played in the FA Cup, League Cup, and Europa League.
