Derby shadow play Bayindir stays Lammens the present and future
Ruben Amorim will keep Altay Bayindir as United’s number one for the derby at Manchester City.
He sees Senne Lammens as a player for today as well as tomorrow.
Bayindir has started all three Premier League games this season.
Lammens joined from Royal Antwerp for £18m.
Amorim says the 23 year old needs time to settle.
The 23 year old needs time to settle, he adds with care.
This keeper situation and the Lammens arrival raise questions about United’s plan.
I hear the plan relies on structure shape and shadow play on the pitch.
As Mourinho would say structure is salvation.
City is betrayal a memory of what this club must resist to stay intact.
Liverpool is trauma a mirror of nights that haunt this club’s recent past.
Chelsea is becoming the man he thought United would be.
I hate the modern football discourse but I refresh the news feed anyway.
The derby will test whether United can keep quiet and keep the plan intact.
Three quick syntheses from the week behind us.
- Bayindir remains first choice while Lammens is stamped as present and future.
- The framework rests on structure shape and shadow play over flair and headlines.
- The derby will measure discipline against the noise of transfers and chatter.
