The goalkeeper, standing at 6 feet 6 inches tall, has garnered admiration for showcasing impressive skills as a shot stopper, displaying proficiency in preventing goals, and exhibiting a knack for saving penalties.

Bayindir’s transfer to Old Trafford hinges on Henderson’s departure. The 26-year-old academy graduate is currently recuperating from his own injury. Henderson’s departure will only be sanctioned by United if they secure a replacement goalkeeper, thus ensuring a trio of senior keepers including the primary choice Andre Onana, and the backup option Tom Heaton.
