Manchester United Signs Belgian Goalkeeper Senne Lammens
Manchester United has reached an agreement to sign Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for an initial fee of €21 million (£18.1 million), with additional performance-related add-ons.
This move concludes United's pursuit of Aston Villa's goalkeeper, Emiliano Martinez.
Lammens, 23, is on his way to Manchester to finalize a five-year contract with the club.
United is eager to resolve their goalkeeping concerns, particularly after Turkey's Altay Bayindir has made several mistakes in league matches, and last season's first-choice goalkeeper, Andre Onana, was criticized for conceding a goal during their EFL Cup exit to League Two side Grimsby Town.
Head coach Ruben Amorim commented on the challenges of being a Manchester United goalkeeper at this time following Saturday's 3-0 league victory over Burnley, stating, "I think it is hard to be a Manchester United goalkeeper in this moment."
Sources within United have expressed their belief that Lammens is an exciting young talent with a promising future.
