The Manchester derby is looming, but both Man City and Man Utd face a major headache: the goalkeeping position. New arrivals and recent errors have thrown the starting lineups into chaos. Will experience prevail, or will the new signings get their chance to shine?
Man City's Goalkeeping Conundrum
At Man City, the arrival of Gianluigi Donnarumma, fresh off Champions League glory and a Euro 2020 triumph, has put James Trafford's place in jeopardy. Trafford only joined from Burnley recently, but Donnarumma's pedigree is undeniable. Pep Guardiola faces a tough decision: stick with the new signing or trust the proven winner?
Man Utd's Goalkeeping Dilemma
Across town at Man Utd, the situation is equally complex. Senne Lammens' arrival from Royal Antwerp seemingly sealed Andre Onana's fate after a series of costly mistakes. Onana has moved to Trabzonspor. Manager Amorim has publicly backed Altay Bayindir to start, emphasizing the need to show faith in the Turkish international despite Lammens' presence. Will Bayindir rise to the occasion and silence the doubters?
