Manchester United have signed goalkeeper Altay Bayindir from Fenerbahce - and the Turkey international has already addressed his new club's supporters.

The 25-year-old goalkeeper has made the move to Old Trafford as backup to Andre Onana, who signed from Inter Milan earlier this summer as the club's number one shot-stopper.

United needed to find a solution after agreeing to sell Dean Henderson to Crystal Palace, while Tom Heaton is currently injured.

They have finally found that solution on deadline day, with Bayindir's arrival coinciding with continuing negotiations for the signing of Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina.

According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, United have sent their director of football negotiations, Matt Hargreaves, to Florence in an attempt to thrash out a second deadline day deal.

But so far, United's activity has been limited to one incoming - and Bayindir has already broken his silence on the move.

Man Utd fans impressed with Altay Bayindir after first video

In a video posted to United's social media accounts, Bayindir introduced himself to the club's supporters and gave his thoughts on his move.

He said: "Hi guys, I am happy to be here. It's a perfect feeling to be the first Turkish player here.

"See you soon - take care."

In the comments, United fans were impressed by how clearly Bayindir spoke English in the video.

Taking to Twitter, one United fan wrote: "He's comfortable with his English speaking. Impressive!"

Another added: "His English wow."

The English language is said to be spoken by around 15 to 20 per cent of Turkish people, although the EF's English proficiency index places Turkey in 34th place out of 35 European countries, with an overall low proficiency.

Others, meanwhile, believe Bayindir's voice has an uncanny resemblance to that of Cristiano Ronaldo.

One said: "Listened to it with my eyes closed and heard Ronaldo."

A second fan pointed out: "He sounds like Ronaldo's AI generated voice."

And another wrote: "How's anyone going to convince me that's not Ronaldo's voice."
