Manchester United agree £18.2m deal to sign Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp

Manchester United have agreed a deal in the region of £18.2m to sign Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens, the 23-year-old will sign a five-year deal at the club and is on the way to Manchester to finalise his move.

United looked at other options, including Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, but after much deliberation and negotiation, it was decided Lammens is the right choice for the club moving forward.

As it stands, United are expected to move forward with four goalkeepers, adding Lammens to their current group of Altay Bayindir, Andre Onana and Tom Heaton.

However, the windows in Turkey and Saudi Arabia are open until September 11 and 10, respectively.

It is understood that if a suitable offer were to come in for their other ‘keepers, it would be considered.

Head coach Ruben Amorim had previously said he was happy with his goalkeeping department, despite several high-profile errors from Onana and Bayindir across the early stages of the season.
