Manchester United has officially announced the acquisition of goalkeeper Altay Bayindir from Fenerbahce, reported by goal.com. The Red Devils are fortifying their goalkeeping department following the departure of Dean Henderson.

The Turkish shot-stopper, Bayindir, has joined Manchester United from Fenerbahce and will vie for the No. 1 goalkeeper position at Old Trafford, competing alongside Andre Onana. This signing becomes even more significant as Bayindir takes over the role vacated by Dean Henderson, who recently transferred to Crystal Palace.

Altay Bayindir expressed his enthusiasm regarding his move to Manchester United, saying, “It is a huge honour to join Manchester United and become the first Turkish player to represent this incredible club. 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.”

Manchester United is anticipated to make more signings on the transfer deadline day. The club is reportedly in the process of securing Sergio Reguilon on loan from Tottenham and is still linked with a potential move for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.

The Red Devils are set to return to Premier League action on Sunday as they face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. This fixture represents Manchester United's final match before the international break, providing an opportunity for Altay Bayindir to familiarize himself with his new teammates and the club's system.
