New Manchester United signing Altay Bayindir has pledged to ‘fight’ for the club, after clinching his move.
Altay Bayindir was unveiled on transfer deadline day, replacing Dean Henderson, who signed for Crystal Palace.
Bayindir becomes Manchester United’s first ever Turkish player, signing from Fenerbahce for a fee of £4.3 million.
He is training with the squad already, and is expected to be on the bench to face Arsenal at the weekend, backing up Andre Onana.

He wrote on Instagram: “Hello Red Devils! I can’t wait to meet you at Theatre of Dreams. I am aware of the greatness of this club and I will fight till the bitter end to be worthy of this jersey. United for the Glory! @manchesterunited.”
