Man Utd legend Edwin van der Sar has savage response to Red Devils keeper Altay Bayindir and fans 'don't understand why' | The Sun
LEGENDARY Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar had a strange response after Altay Bayandir named him as his favourite Manchester United goalkeeper.
Bayandir signed for Manchester United on deadline day on a £4.3million deal from Fenerbache.
He has played second fiddle to Andre Onana, who also arrived this summer from Inter Milan for £47million from Inter Milan.
Van der Sar and Onana have a good relationship dating back to when van der Sar was chief executive of Ajax while Onana was their no1.
In a video posted by Manchester United's Instagram account, Bayandir was asked who his favourite goalkeeper was.
He said: "When I was younger, I watched a lot of games of Manchester United and my favourite goalkeeper was Edwin van der Sar.
