Manchester United ‘agree’ fee for Fenerbahce goalkeeper Altay Bayindir and more transfer rumours

Manchester United have agreed a £6m fee for the transfer of Fenerbahce goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, according to reports.

Erik ten Hag has been searching for a back-up to Andre Onana with Dean Henderson likely to join Nottingham Forest or Crystal Palace on a permanent basis. The England international was involved in United’s pre-season squad but failed to make an appearance.

It means Tom Heaton is the club’s current No.2, although he missed the first two matches of the season through injury. Bayindir has five caps for Turkey and kept 14 clean sheets in 40 outings last season.

The Manchester Evening News understands United were keen for him to complete a medical assessment before agreeing a deal after undergoing back hernia surgery in April.

Wan-Bissaka was offered to clubs last summer and missed nearly all of the first half of the campaign. The defender made a stunning comeback after the World Cup break to edge ahead of Diogo Dalot in the pecking order.
