Ruben Amorim warned over 'massive' Man Utd dilemma as veteran backed for surprise return
Altay Bayindir's error gifted Arsenal a 1-0 win over Manchester United in their opening Premier League fixture, and Ruben Amorim has been urged to sort the club's goalkeeper crisis Ruben Amorim is facing a goalkeeping conundrum after Altay Bayindir's blunder in Manchester United 's loss to Arsenal. The club's woes between the sticks worsened on Sunday when Turkish international Bayindir flapped at a first-half corner, allowing Riccardo Calafiori to score the only goal of the match. Regular No. 1 Andre Onana was absent for the Premier League clash at Old Trafford after a hamstring injury saw him miss pre-season. The former Inter Milan keeper has also been under constant scrutiny for his performances since joining in July 2023. When asked in his post-Arsenal press conference if he should have selected veteran shot-stopper Tom Heaton, who shone during the summer friendlies, instead of Bayindir, Amorim became rather defensive. However, that's exactly what ex-United and Wrexham shot-stopper Ben Foster believes the Portuguese head coach should do for their next game at Fulham this Sunday. That is despite the fact that the 39-year-old former Burnley star hasn't played in the Premier League since the beginning of 2020. While Foster thinks Heaton would be the most suitable short-term option, he has reiterated his recent call for United to sign either Emiliano Martinez or Gianlugii Donnarumma before the summer transfer window closes in less than two weeks or risk another disappointing season. Speaking on his Fozcast podcast, Foster said: "This is a massive problem for the next game. It asks all sorts of questions and there's going to be so much talk surrounding it coming into that next game. "Do you start with Bayindir, whose confidence will be low now after the first game? With Onana, people will be going, 'Well, he's not much better.' There's a lot of pressure. Tom Heaton, I would trust him to give me a six-and-a-half out of 10 performance. "It just forces Man United's hand to go and sign a proper goalkeeper. I think if you can get a Martinez or a Donnarumma, you've just got to do it. If you sign that player, it's going to be the difference between mid-table misery or really pushing for that top six." Despite the goalkeeping crisis at United, Amorim seemed satisfied with his current options when questioned about the situation after the Arsenal match. Amorim said: "I'm happy with the three goalkeepers. He [Bayindir] chooses to get the ball, but he's getting pushed. That is my feeling when I see the play. "You choose to push a player [out of the way] or to get the ball in that moment. He needs to use his hands to catch the ball, not push players. He chooses to push players and will let the ball pass." Meanwhile, Rio Ferdinand has also given a scathing assessment of Bayindir's performance during the club's opening Premier League fixture. Speaking on Rio Presents, the United icon expressed serious reservations about the ex-Fenerbahce keeper. "What I would say is that it was a cheap goal," he said. "We gave away a goal. The keeper has got to be better. He'll be hugely disappointed, because this was his chance. "The manager has gone with him and backed him and he's had, really, one thing to do in his penalty area and he didn't pass the test."

Rangers work on nine transfer exits as Tavernier message surfaces amid Bajrami push
Russell Martin has some big calls to make in the face of mounting fan pressure early in his tenure Russell Martin is facing major scrutiny early in his tenure as Rangers boss - but the club look to still be clearing out the squad. Falling three goals behind to Club Brugge in the Champions League playoff first leg at Ibrox proved to be the final straw for some fans - with an exodus from the stands after just 21 minutes. But Danilo's goal gives the Light Blues a lifeline going into the second leg - and major changes are in motion behind the scenes. Captain James Tavernier has found himself fighting for a starting spot since Martin's arrival with Bournemouth loanee Max Aarons given the nod at right-back in the crucial clash with Brugge. Alan Rough reckons that the Light Blues' boss has sent a message to the skipper that he doesn't see him in the plans for the season - and that Tavernier should not be faulted if he leaves the club. The former Scotland goalkeeper told PLZ: "I think he (Russell Martin) wants to move on. I think he wants to show the owners that there are young players out there. "Tavernier has been absolutely amazing - the amount of assists, the amount of goals and penalties he has scored; if he was to move I don't think anyone could have any complaints. He has been fantastic. "I just think the manager has a mindset now that he wants his own players in there, and that is what he is doing." Defence is an area in focus with Brentford loanee Jayden Meghoma the only recognised left-back in the squad for the £40million shoot-out on Tuesday. Jefte is inching closer to a move back to Brazil to join Palmeiras In a £6million deal while Ridvan Yilmaz appears to be closing in on a return to Besiktas. Sabah report that Yilmaz has already agreed on personal terms with his former side with negotiations over a fee rumbling on. Leon King and Clinton Nsiala are exploring their options after dropping out of the first-team picture - while the door could be opening for Ben Davies to return to Birmingham City. The defender has failed to earn a chance under Martin but reports south of the border report that talks over a return to City have "collapsed". The Lanacashire Post state that Preston North End and Oxford United are battling for a deal. An number of midfielders and wingers have come in the door on Edmiston Drive this summer - leaving Jose Cifuentes and Rabbi Matondo out of the picture. Reports in Ecuador suggest Cifuentes has interested suitors in his homeland alongside Brazilian club Sport Club do Recife - while Turkish side Gaziantep FK are said to have left the door open for Welsh wide man Matondo. Nedim Bajrami is also said to be looking for a route out of the club this summer. The Albanian was dropped from the Champions League squad to make room for new recruit Meghoma despite his Premier Sports Cup goal against Alloa last weekend. Gazeta Blic report that the playmaker now believes he is not part of Martin's plans and his "priority" is to find a club where he can re-establish himself this summer.
