Manchester United in talks for fifth summer transfer as agreement 'near' for loan deal | OneFootball

Red Devils turn attentions to outgoings after signing four new players this summer

Faro de Vigo claim that Celta Vigo hope to secure a loan deal for Bayindir in the coming days as Claudio Giraldez wants the 28-year-old to compete with Andrei Radu as the first choice stopper next season.

Bayindir, who joined the Red Devils from Fenerbahce in September 2023, has less than a year remaining on his contract at Old Trafford, though Man Utd have the option to trigger a 12-month extension.

However, Spanish publication AS state there is very little chance of United receiving a fee from Celta, while Bayindir would have to reduce his wages to join permanently.

Bayindir started last season Man United’s first-choice goalkeeper in the Premier League, but lost his place to summer signing Senne Lammens at the beginning of October and has not made a competitive appearance since.

He was an unused substitute in Man Utd's pre-season friendly win over Atletico Madrid on Saturday and appears to have slipped down the goalkeeping pecking order over the course of the summer.

Karl Darlow has arrived on a free transfer after his exit from Leeds, while experienced stopper Tom Heaton has agreed a one-year extension on his contract and is likely to continue as the third choice option.

Man United do remain active in the transfer market, with the focus on a third midfield signing to the follow the recent arrivals of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans.
