Goalkeeper Altay Bayindir has retained his place in the starting lineup for Manchester United’s game away to Fulham.
Bayindir keeps his place despite his error against Arsenal last weekend and the fact that Andre Onana is back available, with the latter named on the bench.
United are in talks with Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens over a move.
The only alteration to the United starting lineup sees Amad Diallo come into the side in place of Diogo Dalot.
United target Lammens was in the stands for Antwerp’s 2-1 win against Mechelen on Sunday as he closes in on a £17million move to Old Trafford.
Onana was let out of the squad for United’s opening game of the season last weekend as they were beaten were beaten 1-0 by Arsenal.

Bayindir received much criticism for his performance in that game, especially regarding Riccardo Calafiori’s goal with a header from a corner.
Commenting on his decision to choose Bayindir ahead of Onana, United boss Ruben Amorim told Sky Sports: ‘It’s the same kind of decision a manager has to do. I try to see the game, I try to imagine the next game, I try to put the best players to win the game. So I did that.’
Onana has found consistency hard to come by since joining United from Ajax in 2023. He struggled with a hamstring injury during pre-season but wasn’t selected against Arsenal despite being fit.
The shot-stopper has made 101 appearances for United but doesn’t appear to be a major part of Amorim’s plans.
Lammens, 23, was previously capped by Belgium at Under-21 level. He signed for Royal Antwerp from Club Brugge in 2023.
Summer signing Benjamin Sesko was named amongst the substitutes again, with Amorim indicating that the striker still needs to adapt following his move from RB Leipzig.
Amorim said: ‘We try to imagine what is going to happen during the game. Our game needs to be consistent, the way we control the game. We need to have options to play a different game from the bench.
‘Sesko has had two weeks with us so it’s trying to understand everything. I try to understand how these small things are for the player.

‘I talk to the players often and sometimes we need to wait a little bit in order to help the player. We just want to win the game.’
