Fabrizio Romano discussed the deal on his YouTube channel saying: “Man United will announce Bayindir from Fenerbahçe as (their) new goalkeeper. The new backup goalkeeper is going to be Altay Bayindir and he’s going to be the backup option for Andre Onana.”
Manchester United were forced into making this move for Bayindir after Dean Henderson left Old Trafford for a fee Romano described as a “£20 million package.”
Bayindir is Already in the UK
The deal to bring Bayindir to Manchester has been in the works for a while, and the player has been in the country since last Friday.
The backup spot behind Onana at Old Trafford will be seen as an increasingly crucial position as reports suggest that Onana could be on international duty for the Africa Cup of Nations in January. This will see him miss a number of matches.
