In an unusual development, goalie Altay Bayindir’s impending return to his previous club, Manchester United, has been heavily hinted at by Fenerbahçe’s new addition to the midfield, Fred.
The summer’s main topic has been the 25-year-old goalie’s prospective transfer to Premier League powerhouses, which has gained steam after the departure of mainstay David de Gea. As soon as Manchester United took action, Andre Onana was secured as the replacement in a €52.5 million transaction.
Despite the speedy arrival of Onana, Dean Henderson’s future is apparently aligned with Crystal Palace, adding to the goalkeeping conundrum at Old Trafford. Altay Bayindir is being considered as Henderson’s possible replacement by Manchester United since he appears ready to go.
Will Fenerbahce receive Fred?
Brazilian shared “I gave him some suggestions about places where he could live and I told him it rains a lot! I think Altay is going to be very happy at Manchester United.” An article from sportskeeda.com shared.
The window for transfers for Manchester United is still open
The team, which has won the Premier League championship 13 times, has spent over €190 million on high-profile acquisitions including Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount, and the aforementioned Onana.
However, the experienced Dutch manager Ten Hag is looking at other possibilities because of ongoing fitness issues in the starting lineup. It appears that his current priority is finding a strong left-back to strengthen the team’s lineup.
Manchester United is in desperate need of a capable left-back following the injuries to Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw. The club’s scouting efforts have focused on the quick Marcos Alonso of Barcelona, the flexible Sergio Reguilon of Tottenham, and most noticeably, the nimble Marc Cucurella of Chelsea, all of whom are emerging as prospective replacements. These prospects provide a ray of hope as United works to strengthen its roster, generating enthusiasm among supporters and sparking debates in football circles.
