Newcastle United icon Alan Shearer has showered praise on
three standout Manchester United players following their hard-fought FA Cup
win.
The Red Devils secured their place in the competition's
fourth round with a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Arsenal at the
Emirates Stadium. United initially took the lead, but the game turned tense
after Diogo Dalot’s red card, Arsenal’s equalizer, and a missed penalty by the
home side in the second half.
Speaking on BBC, Shearer singled out United goalkeeper
Altay Bayindir for his composure during the shootout. “He holds his nerve; he
doesn't blink first,” Shearer said.
Shearer also acknowledged Matthijs De Ligt and Harry
Maguire for their impressive performances but ultimately gave Bayindir the Man
of the Match honors. “It was a three-way tie between him and De Ligt and
Maguire, who I thought were superb. But his penalty save was decisive, so he
deserved the award,” Shearer noted.
“When you’re given a chance, you have to make the most of
it—and he certainly did today,” Shearer added.
