It must be quite special to show up at your dream job and then not be welcomed by your boss. – Although the atmosphere is supposed to be better at Old Trafford now than under Dutch manager Erik ten Hag, there is a Manchester United player who was clearly “ignored”.
The January window is just around the corner and gives clubs the opportunity to strengthen their squad in the middle of the season. Although they have just changed manager and brought in Ruben Amorim, Manchester United are not expected to make any significant business in the window. – But they may be forced to make more changes than they would like.

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United’s second goalkeeper Altay Bayindir has assessed his situation and in conclusion wants to move on.
Bayindir signed from Fenerbahce in the summer of 2023, and United paid £4.3 million for his services. However, the Turkish international has been a permanent understudy for Andre Onana, playing just three times in all competitions.
Having played over 100 times for his previous club, he craves first-team football. He was linked with a move to Celtic in the summer before they opted for Danish Kasper Schmeichel.
United want Bayindir to stay at the club until the summer, but would look for a solution if he were to leave in January.
The experienced Tom Heaton is currently third choice but will be 39 next year, meaning the club are looking at a much younger option for the position.
Bayindir played a single game in an FA Cup win over Newport County last season and has played twice in the Carabao Cup this season.
When he arrived at Manchester United, it is said that Bayindir was not greeted by Ten Hag. According to Football Insider, the two did not even have a conversation in the first two weeks after Bayindir signed for the club.
The only thing he saw was the goalkeeper coaches of Manchester United.
Tonight, Manchester United travel to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal.
