Erik ten Hag refused to reveal if he would stick to Altay Bayindir or start Andre Onana against Wolves on Thursday.
Bayindir, signed from Fenerbahce in the summer, stepped into the starting XI against Newport County in the FA Cup due to Onana’s Africa Cup of Nations commitments.
The Turkish international impressed Ten Hag with his composure and saves, contributing to the Red Devils’ 4-2 victory.
“I think it was a composed debut by Bayindir,” Ten Hag declared. “He made some good saves and looked very assured.
"Overall, he can be happy with his performance, and I was certainly pleased.”
While Bayindir’s performance earned plaudits, Ten Hag confirmed Onana’s return for their upcoming Premier League clash against Wolves. This, the manager added, presents a welcome selection headache:
“Andre Onana will be back for Thursday against Wolves. Maybe, for the first time as long as I was manager, I can pick a team from the squad that is probably the strongest here.”
