What Edwin van der Sar told Altay Bayindir about Manchester United teammate Andre Onana

Edwin van der Sar has pencilled in a chat with Altay Bayindir but joked he prefers Manchester United teammate Andre Onana.
Bayindir is yet to feature for United after arriving in a £4.3million deal from Fenerbahce over the summer. The Turkey international was drafted in as a late back-up to Onana, a much earlier signing for £47.2m.
Despite some teething problems, Onana has been ever-present between the posts and even started in both Carabao Cup games against Crystal Palace and Newcastle. Bayindir did start in Turkey's 3-2 win over Germany on Saturday.

Bayindir could be in line to finally make his United debut in the trip to Goodison Park to face Everton, with Onana a doubt. The 27-year-old was forced off during Cameroon's win over Mauritius on Friday and will miss this evening's game against Libya.
In a statement, which has been translated, the Cameroonian Football Federation said: "The Cameroonian Football Federation informs public opinion that the player Andre Onana, injured during the match against Mauritius on November 17, 2023 in Douala, is not part of the delegation of the Indomitable Lions currently in Benghazi.
