  • Manchester United signs Turkey’s Altay Bayindir for £4.3 million, with a four-year contract and potential 12-month extension as a backup goalkeeper
  • Bayindir aims to become the first Turkish player to represent United and expresses his eagerness to contribute to the club’s success

Altay Bayindir of Turkey was signed by Manchester United from Fenerbahce on Friday in a reported £4.3 million ($5.3 million) deal.

Bayindir signed a four-year contract with the Premier League club, with a 12-month extension option.

Following Dean Henderson’s move to Crystal Palace this week, the 25-year-old will fill in for United’s first-choice keeper Andre Onana.

Bayindir will become the first Turk to play for United when he debuted at Old Trafford.

It is a huge honour to join Manchester United and become the first Turkish player to represent this incredible club,” Bayindir said.

I have a passion for success, and I will give everything to help this special group of players to achieve our ambitions.

I cannot wait to start working with such an experienced goalkeeping unit. We will support each other and drive high standards every day so that each of us is ready to perform whenever called upon.

Bayindir has made 166 appearances in his career, with 53 clean sheets.

He joined Fenerbahce from Ankaragucu in 2019 and was a key player last season as they won the Turkish Cup and finished second in the Super Lig.

Altay is an excellent addition to our squad and adds further quality to our already strong group of experienced goalkeepers,” Manchester United Football Director John Murtough said.

Having consistently performed at a high level in a strong European league, he has the qualities to support us in achieving our ambitions across all competitions this season and beyond.

The Bayindir signing caps off a season of change in the United goalkeeping department.

David de Gea, who played 545 games for United in 12 years, left the club after failing to agree to a new contract.

Onana joined United from Inter Milan for a fee of £47.2 million, joining forces with United manager Erik ten Hag, who previously coached the Cameroonian at Ajax.
