Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has explained his side's reasons for signing another senior goalkeeper.

United have Andre Onana in goal as their no.1, while Tom Heaton is likely to feature as the no.2.

The club have also sold Dean Henderson to Crystal Palace to ensure he can play regular first team football in the future.

However, Ten Hag explained why United have signed Altay Bayindir as another backup keeper from Fenerbahce.

“Yeah, we followed him, scouted him very intensely and we think he has the skills to fit in Man United, to fit in English football," the manager told journalists on Friday.

“So, we are really glad that we signed him and we are confident that he will make a lot of progress in the coming period in the coming years and he will be a huge contribution to our game."
