In the match against Fulham, Manchester United had only one 'big chance', which came from a very unexpected source.Bruno Fernandes' missed penalty in the first half was the reason for the Red Devils' defeat.Ruben Amorim's players managed to secure just a draw in their first away game of the season.Rodrigo Muniz scored an own goal after a header from Leni Yoro, giving the visitors the lead in the second half.Ramsay Smith-Rowe was the first to attempt to push past Luke Shaw and strike the ball into the near nine less than 15 minutes later.It was a thankless game for Ruben Amorim's players, who struggled to create chances against the Cottage's defense.This struggle is best highlighted by the unusual figure who created the only 'big opportunity' for the team.Goalkeeper Altay Bayındır was the only player to create such a chance, utilizing the daily kick of the ball in the opponents' half.Such an opportunity arose when a long pass from Turkey found Matheus Cunha, but Bernd Leno saved the ball to deflect it away from the goal.Club fans and neutral viewers quickly commented on this strange statistic.One X user mocked the club, noting: 'When your goalkeeper becomes a provider, know that this is the peak of the financial crisis'.Another user fueled the discussions on social media, saying: 'After spending over 200 million on attackers, they still need a goalkeeper to create chances'.During the match against Fulham, Manchester United found themselves in a difficult position, with the only opportunity created by their goalkeeper Altay Bayındır. This sparked active discussions on social media, where football fans shared their thoughts on this unexpected situation.
