Andre Onana's Manchester United days look numbered amid transfer speculation linking the 29-year-old with a loan move to Turkish side Trabzonspor.
The goalkeeper has not featured in United's opening three Premier League games, with Altay Bayindir preferred, while the deadline day arrival of Senne Lammens adds another level of competition.
Onana, who cost United £43.9million when he arrived from Inter Milan in 2023, is reportedly weighing up a move to Trabzonspor.
The transfer window in Turkey is open until September 12, while Onana, who has three years remaining on his contract at Old Trafford, is currently on international duty with Cameroon.
Trabzonspor are currently second in the Turkish Super Lig after an unbeaten start to the campaign and face Fenerbahce in their next match on September 14.
That could, in theory, be Onana's debut for the club if a move was agreed, and it would be his first league outing since United's defeat to Chelsea in mid May.
Amorim has overlooked Onana in the top flight this season despite the keeper, who missed pre-season with an injury, returning to full fitness.
Baynidir started the season opener at Arsenal, with Amorim saying: "We try to choose the best players for each game, so next week is a different life.
"This week, we chose these players. No (he is not injured), he's recovered, but the other guys did so well during pre-season, so I need to balance that."
But next week was not different, with Bayindir preferred.
"It's the kind of decision that the manager has to make, try to see the game, try to imagine the next game and try to put the best players to win the game, so I did that," Amorim told Sky Sports.
Bayindir started in four of United's five friendlies, with the 39-year-old Tom Heaton the only senior alternative. Amorim bristled at the suggestion that Heaton, who has not played in two-and-a-half years, could have played ahead of Bayindir and reminded everyone of his performance at Arsenal in the FA Cup third round last season when the Turkey international saved two penalties.
"You don't remember the game? I remember the game. Altay was unbelievable in that game. I consider everything to put one or the other and I choose Altay. Why? He (Bayindir) suffered a goal like this where?" Amorim asked after the question was posed in the wake of the defeat to Arsenal.
"Without VAR. With VAR (at Tottenham), is a foul and then what happened in the next game? At Arsenal: who saved the penalty? Who saved the game, all the game? No, no, no, before the penalty."
Onana was given the gloves for the EFL Cup tie at League Two Grimsby but was at fault for at least one of the two goals scored by the Mariners as they completed a seismic shock and knocked United out on penalties after a 2-2 draw.
Speaking about Onana after the defeat, Amorim said: "It's not about the goalkeeper. It's not about the goalkeeper.
"With all due respect, against a fourth division side, we have to block everything about the opponent. Andre should touch the ball with his feet if we are in the high level."
After Bayindir was at fault for one of Burnley's goals in United's 3-2 victory in the game following the Grimsby debacle, Amorim used his post match press conference to make a more general point about the pressures of playing in goal for the club.
"They are humans. At Manchester United, everything is analysed. Everybody talks about the goalkeeper," he said.
"And you can see, I can change the goalkeeper and these situations keep happening. We are in that moment. I think it is hard to be a Manchester United goalkeeper in this moment.
"But if you look at the first goal, we can defend it better. We suffered a quite similar goal against Fulham, because we don't do the full rotation of the team when the ball is on the other side. All these small things have nothing to do with the goalkeeper."
