Manchester United's summer overhaul is set to extend between the posts, with reports indicating that backup goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is already seeking an exit from Old Trafford.
The Turkish international, signed from Fenerbahce for £4.3 million just last summer, has found opportunities severely limited behind first-choice Andre Onana. His plight has reportedly alerted other clubs, with a potential loan move now on the cards.
Ten Hag's Goalkeeping Conundrum Deepens
Erik ten Hag's search for a reliable last line of defence appears far from over. Despite the high-profile signing of Onana, the Cameroonian's inconsistent form has forced the Dutch manager to reconsider his options.
Bayindir's anticipated departure would leave a significant gap in the squad, one that United's hierarchy seems prepared to fill with a new, high-calibre signing rather than promoting from within.
Ruben Amorim Emerges as Surprising Contender
In a stunning twist, Sporting CP's highly-rated manager Ruben Amorim has been linked with a move to Manchester—not for the dugout, but as a potential playing asset. While the initial link appears speculative, it underscores the breadth of United's search for solutions.
Amorim, 39, enjoyed a successful playing career as a defender before moving into management, but a return to playing seems highly improbable.
What's Next for Andre Onana?
The situation casts a fresh cloud over Andre Onana's future as the undisputed No. 1. His performances have been under intense scrutiny, and the club's apparent desire to bring in competition suggests his place is no longer guaranteed.
This potential move signals a ruthless streak from Ten Hag and new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who are determined to rectify the club's transfer missteps quickly and decisively.
With the summer window approaching, all eyes will be on who United identifies as their primary target to solidify a position that has been a source of uncertainty since the departure of David de Gea.
