Manchester United Sign Turkey Goalkeeper, Altay Bayindir From Fernerbache

Manchester United has completed the signing of Turkey goalkeeper, Altay Bayindir from Fernerbache in a deal worth a reported £4.3 million ($5.3 million).

Bayindir agreed to a four-year contract with the Premier League side, who have the option of a further 12-month extension.

The 25-year-old will serve as cover for United’s first-choice keeper Andre Onana following Dean Henderson’s move to Crystal Palace this week.

“It is a huge honor 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 a total of 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.”
