Manchester United are searching for replacements for Altay Bayindir after fears that the goalkeeper will push to leave the club.

The Turkey international joined United from Fenerbahce in 2023 but is yet to make a single Premier League appearance for the club.

He has served as Andre Onana’s understudy this season, making just one appearance in the Carabao Cup.

The 26-year-old, capped ten times for Turkey, is growing impatient for further opportunities.

The Daily Mail say the club are fearful that he will now push to leave the club in the January transfer window.

It’s claimed United are now scouring the market for a new number two to compete with Onana.
