Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir will spend next season on loan at Celta Vigo.

The Turkey international has struggled to make an impression at Old Trafford after joining from Fenerbahce in 2023. He started last season as United’s number one but returned to a back-up role due to the emergence of Senne Lammens.

He is the second United goalkeeper to be farmed out this summer with Andre Onana moving on a second successive season-long loan to Trabzonspor, where he will play with Mohamed Salah.

A United statement read: “Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir has agreed to join La Liga side Celta Vigo on loan for the duration of the 2026/27 season, subject to registration.

“The 28-year-old played six games for United last season, his third term since joining from Fenerbahce in 2023. Following his debut against Newport County in 2024, Altay has made 17 appearances in total for the club.

“Bayindir now heads out to Spain to link up with Os Celestes, who finished sixth in La Liga last season under head coach Claudio Giraldez and are set to compete in this season’s Europa League.”

Lammens is firmly established as the number one under Michael Carrick with new signing Karl Darlow and the veteran Tom Heaton also available as options. Radek Vitek, who spent last season on loan at Bristol City, is expected to join Middlesbrough in the coming days.

United face Paris Saint-Germain in a friendly in Gothenburg tomorrow. They start their Premier League campaign at newly promoted Hull on Saturday, August 22.
