Manchester United interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy selected Altay Bayindir in goal for his first ever game.
During his first season, back-up goalkeeper Altay Bayindir found it tough to get any game time at all, playing only once, away at Newport.
Bayindir made his first appearance at Old Trafford last month under Erik ten Hag in the Carabao Cup, and kept his place for the fourth round clash.
He was unfortunate to conceded twice for two inconsequential goals as a freescoring Manchester United beat Leicester City 5-2.
Altay Bayindir proud to play
In-form goalkeeper Andre Onana was rested completely for this fixture and is expected to return for the Premier League game against Chelsea at the weekend.
Bayindir was happy to get the opportunity to play just his third ever fixture for the club.
He wrote after the game on Instagram: “What a special night! Proud to stand with this incredible team and feel the love from our amazing fans.
“That’s the Theatre of Dreams! On to the next round!”
Bayindir place for next round
Altay Bayindir’s place in goal for the Carabao Cup quarter-final is less than assured.
Manchester United are away at Tottenham for the last eight clash, a steep step up in difficulty in terms of match.
Tottenham knocked out Manchester City and won 3-0 at Old Trafford against Erik ten Hag’s United last season.
United will have new manager Ruben Amorim in charge by then, the club’s third manager in three rounds this season.
Amorim may want to go with his strongest team, which would mean a recall for Andre Onana.
