"I think we understood that this needed a change and sometimes it is hard to point out why, Amorim told reporters ahead of Sunday's Manchester derby. Sometimes it is the moment, the bad luck in some moments. It is hard on him, on us. Our thinking is to have a change in the goalkeepers but I wish the best for Andre Onana. He was really good at working and trying to help the players, but sometimes you can have all the quality in the world but you need a change."
"We have an option that can give us different things in the moment but also has a great potential to be our goalkeeper for a lot of years so that was out choice in the end. He is a goalkeeper with a lot of potential. I know that we are in a moment where the goalkeeper needs to be really strong and have a lot of experience."
"Altay is going to continue. It is a different league, a different country, different training, different ball, Amorim said. So we will try to maintain that and they will fight for the position but for me in this game is clear, Altay will start."
André Onana did not feature in Manchester United's first three Premier League matches. Amorim stated that the goalkeeping situation required a change and expressed sympathy for Onana while wishing him the best. The club opted for a goalkeeper option described as offering immediate attributes and long-term potential to be the club's goalkeeper for years. Amorim emphasized the need for strength and experience in goal while balancing present performance and future planning. Altay will continue at the club and is confirmed to start the upcoming game, with competition for the position to be maintained.
