After barely being given a kick during his first year in Manchester, Altay Bayindir was assured appearances in the cup competitions this season by Erik ten Hag.

Ruben Amorim has stood by his predecessor’s promise, even after the 26-year-old conceded from that ‘Olimpico’ in the Carabao Cup at Tottenham last month.

There were still plenty of shaky moments here for Bayindir — not just his tame attempt to punch away the cross that led to Gabriel’s goal but also his wayward, awkward kicking that repeatedly sent the ball into touch.

But from that moment onwards, Bayindir was a man transformed: saving Odegaard’s penalty, Rice’s header at point-blank range, then tipping a late effort from Rice around the post.

He stood strong under pressure at Arsenal’s set pieces too.

Do United have a dependable backup? This was still only Bayindir’s fifth appearance, so the jury remains out.

But the way he played from Arsenal’s goal onwards will only bring him much-needed confidence.

Two weeks ago, Joshua Zirkzee was jeered by a section of Manchester United supporters as he was substituted in the first half against Newcastle United.

Today, he has scored the goal that sends them through to the fourth round of the FA Cup.
