Man United hint at first Ruben Amorim transfer after new 'concern' made clear
Manchester United could reportedly attack the transfer market to sign a new goalkeeper amid concerns that Altay Bayindir could leave.
The No.2 is yet to make a single Premier League appearance since arriving at Old Trafford from Fenerbahce in the summer of 2023. The 26-year-old only has three appearances to his name, all for the Carabao and the FA Cup.
Despite being under contract until the summer of 2027, there are 'concerns' Bayindir is keen to leave Old Trafford for regular playing time, according to the Daily Mail. As a result, United are said to be 'monitoring' goalkeeping opportunities ahead of the new year when the transfer window reopens.

Previously speaking about the lack of game time, Bayindir said: "I need to be ready always and I’m just waiting. I’m just working hard and, if you are a football player, you don’t know when a chance can come to you. And you need to be ready.
"I’m working hard at the training ground and it’s just that I want to play. I need more of a chance to take. Of course, it’s important for a player and I can say, in football, you have to do different things in training and in a game. They are two different things. You can work hard and do everything on the training ground but you need to show yourself in the game.
"It’s more important because, if you will show yourself in the game, everyone can see it because, of course, you need to work hard and you need to show yourself on the training ground. But it’s two different things. Do you know what I mean? You need to show yourself in the game and on the pitch. I didn’t get a long time of chances last year, I was just playing one game. And it is not enough for my personality but, in life, anything can happen. You just need to be focused.
"You need to work hard and everything can change in this life. You need to be ready for every game because, in the year, we have a lot of games and it doesn’t matter what you did. You can play bad, it’s finished. You can play good, it’s also finished.
"Next step, next step, next step always. I’m thinking like this and I will work hard always. I will be ready and, if I will get a chance, if I will be in goal, I will show myself and I will do my best."
