Altay Bayindir will clasp his spot successful extremity for Manchester United successful Sunday's derby against neighbours City - but caput coach Ruben Amorim says caller presence Senne Lammens has imaginable to beryllium first prime "for a number of years".

United signed Lammens, 23, for £18.1m from Belgium top-flight nine Royal Antwerp connected deadline time successful penchant to World Cup victor Emi Martinez, who was fresh to time off Aston Villa.

With Andre Onana leaving for Turkish outfit Trabzonspor connected loan, it has created uncertainty complete nan position Amorim's existent number one.

Bayindir has started each 3 Premier League games truthful acold this play – making mistakes that led to goals against Arsenal and Burnley – and will clasp nan occupation astatine Etihad Stadium.

However, Amorim thinks Lammens offers plentifulness of promise.

"He has awesome imaginable to beryllium our goalkeeper for a number of years," he said.

"Sometimes arsenic a club, you effort to spot different options. We are successful a infinitesimal wherever nan goalkeeper needs to beryllium really beardown and person a batch of experience.

"But arsenic good arsenic looking astatine nan present, we must person a attraction connected nan future."

Although Bayindir, 27, only made his Premier League debut successful April, he has played 10 times for Turkey and has vastly much acquisition than Lammens, who had had conscionable 1 play arsenic a top-flight regular.

It makes nan determination to fto Bayindir proceed comparatively straightforward.

"It is simply a different league, different country, different ball," said Amorim. "Altay is going to continue."

Onana has much acquisition than anyone else, including winning a Serie A title pinch Inter Milan and playing successful a Champions League last conclusion by Manchester City successful 2023.

Yet astatine United, nan Cameroon world has not looked confident.

He was injured astatine nan commencement of pre-season training this summertime and made mistakes that led to some Grimsby goals arsenic United mislaid to a fourth-tier outfit for nan first clip successful nan EFL Cup past month, beaten connected penalties aft a 2-2 draw.

That crippled proved to beryllium nan extremity for Onana. He is improbable to return to nan nine erstwhile his indebtedness expires astatine nan extremity of nan season, moreover though his United statement runs to 2028.

"The value is location but astatine this nine nan unit is truthful difficult successful each detail, sometimes you request a change," said Amorim.

"It's difficult to constituent why. It's nan performance, nan moments, nan bad luck. It is difficult connected him and difficult connected us.

"I wish nan champion for Andre but sometimes, you tin person each nan value successful nan world but you request to alteration nan situation to return to your level.

"That was nan feeling, not conscionable from us, but besides from Andre."

Mason Mount, Matheus Cunha and Diogo Dalot will each miss nan travel to Etihad Stadium done injury, Amorim said.

Cunha picked up a hamstring wounded successful nan first half of nan 3-2 triumph against Burnley connected 30 August, erstwhile Mount grounded to reappear for nan 2nd period. Dalot pulled retired of Portugal's World Cup qualifiers this period aft experiencing muscular discomfort.

Amorim was reluctant to beryllium circumstantial arsenic to really agelong nan trio would beryllium retired for.

"I don't want to say," he said. "If you talk pinch Cunha [now] he will opportunity he tin play this game, truthful I don't know. We will negociate time by time but they are each retired for this game."

Manchester United person had astatine slightest 1 postgraduate from their academy successful each first-team matchday squad since 1937.

That is an awesome grounds and 1 nan nine usage to beryllium their committedness to younker development.

Yet Kobbie Mainoo was nan only academy subordinate successful Ruben Amorim's squad for nan triumph against Burnley instantly earlier nan world break and nan England midfielder went into nan past days of nan transportation model having told United he wanted a indebtedness move away.

That petition was not granted. But without Mainoo, for immoderate reason, that grounds is successful peril.

There are different players who fresh nan bill; including seasoned goalkeeper Tom Heaton and young defender Tyler Fredericson.

Amorim has to present a winning squad - but would only wreck nan grounds if he has nary choice.

"We want to support it," he said. "The past of Manchester United is built connected kids.

"I don't want to beryllium nan feline that breaks that."
