Manchester United’s Late Victory Against Burnley Marred by Goalkeeper Concerns. Manchester United secured a narrow 3-2 victory against Burnley at Old Trafford, but the win did little to quell the mounting pressure on manager Ruben Amorim. Despite the crucial three points, social media was abuzz with fans’ criticisms, specifically targeting goalkeeper Altay Bayindir. Many believe his performance could ultimately cost the manager his job.

The match saw a seesaw of events, with United taking an early lead through an own goal from Josh Cullen.However, Burnley fought back, with Lyle Foster and Bryan Mbeumo each finding the net, putting the visitors ahead 2-1. A penalty awarded in the dying moments of the game, converted by captain Bruno Fernandes, saved the day for the Red Devils and secured a vital win.

Yet, fans’ attention was fixated on Altay Bayindir’s performance. Many felt the Turkish goalkeeper was at fault for Burnley’s second goal, with some describing his error as a “baffling mess.” The general sentiment among supporters is that if the club fails to acquire a more reliable goalkeeper, Amorim’s tenure could be short-lived.

Similarly, ex-Liverpool star Stephen Warnock described the late penalty as a “get out of jail card for United,” emphasizing that the team had been outplayed by Burnley in the second half. While the win provides a temporary reprieve, the debate surrounding the goalkeeper’s future at the club and its potential impact on Amorim’s job continues to ra
