Manchester United offloads goalkeepers Vitek and Bayindir this summer
Summary

Manchester United is set to part ways with two goalkeepers, Radek Vitek and Altay Bayindir. Vitek is nearing a permanent transfer to Middlesbrough for a fee potentially hitting £14 million, following a successful loan at Bristol City. Bayindir is expected to go on loan to Celta Vigo for the season, with performance-related bonuses and the chance for a permanent move worth £3.5 million. These changes come as Michael Carrick reshapes the squad ahead of the new season, having already signed Karl Darlow while securing the services of several outfield players. United will start their campaign against newly promoted Hull City on 22 August.
