The 25-year-old has played five times for Turkey and his arrival allowed Dean Henderson to complete his move to Crystal Palace.

"It is a huge honour to join Manchester United and become the first Turkish player to represent this incredible club," Bayindir said.

"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."

As well as Bayindir, Sergio Reguilon will also join later today.

The 26-year-old travelled to Manchester for a medical on Thursday night after Tottenham accepted the offer of a season-long loan.
There is no fee but United will cover all of his wages, with a break clause in January.

"Altay is an excellent addition to our squad and adds further quality to our already strong group of experienced goalkeepers," John Murtough, the club's football director said.

"Having consistently performed at a high level in a strong European league, he has the qualities to support us in achieving our ambitions across all competitions this season and beyond."

Earlier in the week, former Man United midfielder Fred, who now plays for Fenerbahce, appeared to confirm the move.

"I wished Altay good luck when he left. He's going to a great team," he told a press conference.

"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."
