Former Chelsea midfielder Craig Burley has described Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bay?nd?r as absolutely useless.
Ahead of Manchester United’s Premier League clash with Manchester City on Sunday, Burley urged Pep Guardiola’s side to target the goalkeeper.
According to him, the Turkish international is the weakest point in the Red Devils’ team since he suffers a lot in dealingwith aerial balls.
He said the goalkeeper, who takes the role of Andre Onana in the Red Devils’ squad, has been exposed several times this season.
Speaking on ESPN FC, Burley said Guardiola’s team should focus on troubling Bay?nd?r with crosses and free kicks.
“Whether it’s free-kicks, corners, any set-piece, and I’m swinging it in under the crossbar.
“Hell, if Man City have somebody that takes long throw-ins, I’m throwing it in Rory Delap-style as well, just piling it into the box. He [Bay?nd?r] is absolutely hopeless in coming out and dealing with aerial balls; he has shown that.
“Altay Bay?nd?r, they can’t play him. He might be okay at shot-stopping, which is what goalkeepers are paid for, but he’s absolutely useless at dealing with balls in from set-pieces.”
