Bayindir was culpable for Burnley's second goal in United's thrilling last-gasp win at Old Trafford, spilling a shot at the feet of visiting forward Jaidon Anthony. The Red Devils recovered to win their first game of the season but the spotlight was once again on Bayindir, who also made a huge mistake in the team's opening day defeat by Arsenal.

Bayindir has now been at fault for two goals in United's three league games while Andre Onana could be blamed for both of the goals conceded in the embarrassing Carabao Cup elimination at Grimsby Town.
WHAT AMORIM SAID
Amorim told a press conference: "They are humans. At Manchester United, everything is analysed. Everybody talks about the goalkeeper. And you can see, I can change the goalkeeper and these situations keep happening. We are in that moment. I think it is hard to be a Manchester United goalkeeper in this moment. But if you look at the first goal, we can defend it better. We suffered a quite similar goal against Fulham, because we don't do the full rotation of the team when the ball is on the other side. All these small things have nothing to do with the goalkeeper."
DID YOU KNOW?
The coach believes that the whole United squad is suffering from a mentality problem, not just the men between the posts, due to the crisis the club has been in over the last few years. He added: "The players are struggling a little bit with all the things around the club. That is normal. So it's not just the goalkeepers. I think everybody has to improve."
