Manchester United 'target rejects move' as midfielder chase 'intensifies' and more rumours
Fenerbahce goalkeeper Altay Bayindir reportedly rejected a move to Manchester United in favour of regular first-team football.
Andre Onana is set to sign for Manchester United as their new number one, replacing David de Gea. The goalkeeper is set to be confirmed as United's second summer signing this week.
Dean Henderson is expected to leave United, as a result, and there has been interest in Tom Heaton from Premier League newboys, Luton Town. Therefore, it is not inconceivable that Erik ten Hag may need another shot-stopper.
According to Posta report, as cited by Sport Witness, United look at Bayindir due to a €5-6m release clause in his contract. However, he turned down a move as he 'didn't want to play second-fiddle'.

Instead, the goalkeeper is joining Ajax to be their new number one. Geronimo Rulli is expected to depart the Dutch side, as a result.
Elsewhere, United are set to intensify their pursuit of Sofyan Amrabat, according to TGR journalist Sara Meini. It's claimed these are 'decisive days' in the deal, with United interested in adding the Fiorentina midfielder to their ranks.
Liverpool have also been linked with the 26-year-old with uncertainty around Jordan Henderson and Fabinho's future. MEN Sport understands United are only likely to press ahead with Amrabat if they make sales in midfield, with Fred likeliest to go.
This story claims United want to have a deal agreed 'by the weekend'.
