Where will Man United finish in the Premier League next season? (2:07)
Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir has joined LaLiga side Celta Vigo on loan for the 2026-27 season, with a view to make the move permanent.
The 28-year-old has largely served as a back-up keeper since joining the Premier League side from Fenerbahce in 2023 in a €5 million ($5.8m) deal.
Celta have the option to sign the Türkiye international permanently, reportedly set at £3.5m, and a high sell-on clause would be included if they trigger that option.
Bayindir played six games for United last season and has made 17 appearances for the club.

He made his debut in a 4-2 win against Newport County in the FA Cup in 2024.
Celta finished sixth in LaLiga last season and are set to compete in this season's UEFA Europa League.

"I will miss Old Trafford, but this is not a goodbye. Wishing a successful season to everyone at the club, my heart and support will always be with you. See you soon, Reds!"
