Manchester United goalkeeper signing is set to be completed, as Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens will join for a reported €20m (£17m/$23m). The 23-year-old Belgian Under-21 international will compete with André Onana for the first-team spot.
Onana Faces Pressure
André Onana has struggled at Old Trafford after inconsistent performances since his £44.4m transfer from Inter Milan in July 2023. He missed the opening-day loss to Arsenal. Altay Bayindir replaced him but made a costly error that allowed Riccardo Calafiori to score the winning goal.
Despite interest from other clubs, Onana will stay at Manchester United. However, this Manchester United goalkeeper signing increases competition for his role.
Senne Lammens Career Highlights
The 6ft 3in goalkeeper debuted for Club Brugge in July 2021 before joining Antwerp in 2023. He played in Champions League matches, including a 2-0 defeat against Porto. Lammens has impressed in the Belgian top flight. Reports suggest United agreed terms with him, though the club has not yet announced it officially.
Squad Updates and Transfers
Onana may miss part of the season due to Cameroon’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign in Morocco, starting with a Christmas Eve match against Gabon.
Ruben Amorim addressed four first-team players—Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia—training away from the squad while seeking moves elsewhere.
Garnacho is attracting Chelsea interest. Sancho has held talks with Roma. Antony could return to Real Betis. Malacia is linked with Celtic, Besiktas, and Porto. Marcus Rashford left on a season-long loan to Barcelona.
Upcoming Matches and First-Team Plans
Benjamin Sesko is likely to start in attack at Craven Cottage after his debut against Arsenal. Ruben Amorim confirmed that Onana is ready to compete for his position. The manager will finalize the goalkeeper selection before the upcoming fixtures.
