Manchester United could see a significant shake-up in their goalkeeping department this summer, with sources informing Football Insider that both Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton are expected to depart the club according to Football Insider.
Bayindir, the 27-year-old shot-stopper, is reportedly seeking an exit from Old Trafford due to his frustration over limited first-team opportunities throughout the current season.

The Turkish international has largely played second fiddle, primarily featuring in cup competitions, making seven appearances in total.
Adding to the potential overhaul, veteran goalkeeper Tom Heaton, 39, is out of contract at the end of the 2024-25 campaign and is also anticipated to leave the club.
These developments come amidst ongoing speculation surrounding the future of current first-choice goalkeeper Andre Onana.
The 29-year-old Cameroonian international has faced scrutiny following several high-profile errors this season, leading to questions about his long-term position at the club.
While Onana has been linked with a potential move away from Manchester United, sources suggest that the club is unlikely to sanction the departure of three goalkeepers in a single transfer window.
Finance expert Stefan Borson recently indicated to Football Insider that Onana would hold a book value of £30 million this summer.
Onana, who joined Manchester United from Inter Milan in 2023 for a reported fee potentially reaching £50 million, was notably dropped for Bayindir in the 4-1 defeat against Newcastle.
However, he has since reclaimed his starting position under manager Ruben Amorim and is contracted at Old Trafford until June 2028.
The anticipated departures of Bayindir and Heaton will undoubtedly necessitate Manchester United exploring their options for bolstering their goalkeeping ranks ahead of the next season, regardless of Onana’s future at the club.
