The Turkey international will compete with André Onana for the number one spot at Old Trafford – although he will be joining as a back up.
Bayindir has been capped five times for Turkey and has been the starting goalkeeper for Fenerbahçe for the past two seasons.
He made 40 appearances in all competitions last season as his side finished in second place in the Super Lig.
He was also crucial for Fenerbahce as they won the Turkish Cup and reached the Round of 16 in the Europa League.
The signing of Bayindir suggests that Dean Henderson is set to leave Manchester United. The England international has been linked with a move to Crystal Palace.
Bayindir’s arrival is a sign of Erik ten Hag’s ambition to improve Manchester United’s squad.
The Dutch manager is looking to build a team that can challenge for trophies in the Premier League and the Champions League.
