Man Utd boss Ten Hag: Bayindir has my full confidence

Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag has no doubts regarding the mentality of his backup goalkeeper.

The Dutchman signed Altay Bayindir from Fenerbahce in the summer as cover for Andre Onana.

With the Cameroonian at AFCON, Bayindir will get his chance in goal in the FA Cup against Newport.

When asked if Bayindir can handle the pressure, Ten Hag joked: "You have been in Fenerbahce?

“Pressure. Also, Turkey, that is big pressure always, also for the national team so he knows how to deal with it."

He then confirmed Bayindir would play in the game, adding: "He will be in the goal.

"What we can expect for him, he waits for his chance but he is experienced, played in a big club in Turk under big pressure, he knows how to deal with it, we were convinced... so we are looking forward to Sunday.

“Altay is waiting for this moment and this is his moment."
