According to Sky Sports exclusive report, before the Manchester City Derby, Manchester United coach Amorin expressed his hope that starting goalkeeper Bainder can perform at the Van der Sar level. In addition, it also said that this summer is "the best time to replace Onana."

Amorin said: "We are building a stable system within the club so that new players can fit in better. Looking back, the club has great players like Roy Keane, Gary Neville, and a very solid foundation. But I remember world-class players like Peron had problems.

"We have had this in the past with goalkeepers, and we spent a lot of time trying to find a goalkeeper, and then Van der Sar came and let the Manchester United position be reborn.

"What happened now is different, now we can't win many championships, which adds more pressure to each player, but we have experienced similar moments. We will work hard to build a stable foundation to help all players, and we are working hard to do that. So now, it's hard for different players to adapt to this club."

About the next Van der Sar?

Amorin: "I hope to see Baindel perform as well this week as Van der Sar. In this way, in the future they have to fight for position. We as a team can help the goalkeepers get better. We are doing that."

Amorin: "Onana proves himself to be a top goalkeeper at Inter. But sometimes, in certain circumstances, in certain moments, things are not going well.

"I think both our club and Onana himself feel it's time to make some changes. We don't know what the future will be, but now is the time to replace Onana.

"Looking at the current situation, it has nothing to do with Onana's performance in the last game, but you can feel the environment at that time, and we think this is the best time to make a change to this position."
