Manchester United have re-commenced a deal to sign Fenerbahce number one Altay Bayindir today after the move had threatened to collapse.
The 25-year-old traveled to the UK on Friday and was expected to tie up a transfer this weekend but the Red Devils only want to complete a move if current back-up shot-stopper Dean Henderson completes his transfer to Crystal Palace first.

Bayindir will need to apply for a UK Visa in order to turn out for the Red Devils and will likely be United’s second-choice goalkeeper beyond fellow summer signing Andre Onana.
As for Henderson, his 12-year-long stay at Old Trafford will finally come to an end after a $25.2m offer including add-ons from Crystal Palace was accepted on Sunday. Henderson’s arrival at Selhurst Park is expected to be announced imminently after the England international underwent a medical yesterday.
