It's all change on the goalkeeping front at Manchester United.
With Senne Lammens back at pre-season training and expected to be involved in Saturday's encounter with Paris St-Germain, United have sanctioned the exit of Radek Vitek and Altay Bayindir.
Vitek made it perfectly clear when he spoke to the media after the first pre-season game against Wrexham in Helsinki nearly three weeks ago that he expected to leave, and wasn't bothered whether it was a permanent deal or a loan.
Well, it is permanent, to Championship side Middlesbrough, for a fee that could reach £14m.
United have also included a buy-back clause and also a sell-on if, as they expect, Vitek continues to impress. The 22-year-old scooped all the Bristol City player of the year awards last term, after previously impressing during loan stints in Austria and with Accrington Stanley.
He featured for half a game for United against Wrexham and started in Norway against Trondheim last month and didn't concede a goal.
Meanwhile, Bayindir is going to La Liga outfit Celta Vigo.
His replacement has already been brought in, although Karl Darlow is yet to play after having what club sources describe as a small procedure.
Bayindir had hoped to join Besiktas in January but United blocked that move.
It was inevitable the Turkey international would leave this summer.
