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.
“Van der Sar is a legend of Manchester United. I know him.”
But rather than accept the compliment, Van Der Sar left a rather frosty comment on Manchester United’s Instagram.
He wrote: “Hi Altay, will see you soon in Manchester and we will have a chat about goallkeeping but my favourite is still Andre as you will know!”
Most Manchester United fans were confused as to why a club legend had to publicly choose sides over the goalkeepers on a public forum.
