A goalkeeper to compete with Onana and Bayindir
The new coach of the Red Devils, Ruben Amorim, has made it clear that he does not fully trust André Onana or Altay Bayindir. The 1-0 defeat against Arsenal in the beginning of the Premier League, marked by an error from the Turkish goalkeeper, reinforced the idea of incorporating a more solid and reliable goalkeeper.
Lammens emerges as the ideal candidate. His contract with Antwerp expires soon, facilitating negotiations at a lower cost compared to other options on the table.
Manchester United likes Senne Lammens' profile
At just 23 years old, Senne Lammens already has significant experience in the Jupiler Pro League. In the first four matchdays of this season, he has conceded four goals, while in the previous season he let in 56 goals and kept a clean sheet on 14 occasions.
Beyond statistics, what attracts Manchester United is his playing style: he is bold in his exits, dominates the area with authority, and is not afraid to make quick decisions to cut off dangerous plays. Additionally, he excels in constant communication with the defense, an aspect that Amorim considers vital to his team philosophy.

Fabrizio Romano confirms negotiations
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that discussions are ongoing and "the personal terms between the player and Manchester United are virtually agreed upon." This confirms the English club's genuine interest and that the signing could be finalized in the coming days if no unforeseen events arise.
The signing of Senne Lammens not only addresses the immediate need to strengthen the goalkeeping position but also aligns with the club's strategy to rejuvenate its squad with emerging talent. The Belgian fits that profile: young, with room for growth, and with sufficient experience to compete in an elite league like the English Premier League.
If completed, Lammens would have the opportunity to become a starter in a team aiming to compete at the top in the Premier League and return to challenging in the UEFA Champions League.
