According to the Manchester Evening News, Baindel failed to shake Onana's main position and hoped to get more opportunities to play before next year's World Cup, so he is destined to leave Manchester United with the new goalkeeper joining.
Manchester United officially announced a one-year contract renewal with three-pointers Tom Heaton this week. The team's official announcement reads: "Tom Heaton's leadership and experience are crucial to the team, so we are glad that he will continue to stay next season. His professional attitude and full preparation ensure that he can play whenever he needs it, which makes him a perfect addition to our goalkeeper team." In the announcement, Manchester United's emphasis on Heaton can be seen. Heaton has made only three official appearances since returning to Manchester United in 2021, but when the club announced a one-year contract renewal with him, football director Wilcox was not hesitant to praise the veteran. Heaton will be 40 when the new contract expires, but his contribution to the club on the off-court makes him an important member of the team. As the goalkeeper department is about to usher in changes, his experience and deep qualifications are particularly precious.
According to Manwan, although there are doubts about Onana's future, he hopes to stay in the team and continue to maintain his position as the number one goalkeeper.
Head coach Amorin plans to introduce a new goalkeeper this summer, which means Baindel's Manchester United career is destined to reach the end. Manwan said that Baindel never could shake Onana's main position and performed mediocrely. The highlight of the penalty shootout in the FA Cup against Arsenal is also difficult to hide its overall downturn when Onana was absent.
After losing the starting position of the Türkiye national team, Baindel urgently needs to get more opportunities to play before next year's World Cup. And with the possibility of a new goalkeeper joining, he obviously has no place to gain a foothold in Manchester United.
Manchester United introduced Baindel for £4.3 million in 2023 and now needs to be sold for £2.15 million to avoid violating Premier League profit and sustainability rules. It's entirely possible that the club will take it at least for that price.
