Bayindir would be a backup for André Onana, who joined Manchester United from Inter Milan this summer.
United do need to add depth to their goalkeeping position after losing David de Gea as a free agent.
Additionally, it looks like Dean Henderson is also likely to be sold.
It remains to be seen whether Bayindir would be happy with being a backup keeper as he plays regularly for Fenerbahce and already has two starts this season.
The 25-year-old keeper has 5 international caps for the Turkiye national team.
