With Dean Henderson having left the club on Wednesday in a permanent deal to Crystal Palace, the Red Devils have now confirmed the arrival of Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.
The shot-stopper has now penned a four-year deal deal with the 20-time English champions after leaving Fenerbahce, whom he represented on 145 occasions since 2019.

It is thought that Bayindir will come in as back-up to first-choice goalkeeper Andre Onana, who arrived at United from Inter Milan earlier in this transfer window.
Speaking following his arrival, he told the club's website: "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."
The 25-year-old has been capped on five occasions for Turkey since his senior international debut in 2021, with his most recent appearance coming in 2022.
