Ruben Amorim repeated his message that strengthening other areas remained a priority after United signed Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. High-profile mistakes from Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir accelerated plans to change the goalkeeper position. Tom Heaton extended his deal but has not featured under Amorim despite pre-season appearances. INEOS and Manchester United agreed a deal to sign Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens, 23, on a five-year contract. The transfer fee totals €21 million plus €4 million in add-ons with no sell-on clause. Personal terms had been discussed with Emi Martinez, but Lammens became the preferred choice.
But after high-profile mistakes from both Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir already this season, the time for a change in between the sticks has arrived. Bayindir's mistake against Arsenal on the opening day of the season and Onana's two errors against League Two Grimsby Town seems to have forced the Red Devils into action. Tom Heaton remains at the club after extending his deal in the summer, but has not been given an opportunity under Amorim, despite featuring during pre-season.
As per The Athletic, Manchester United are set to sign Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens. A fee of 21 million (18.2m) plus 4m (3.4m) in add-ons has been agreed between the two clubs with no sell-on clause included. Lammens, 23, is set to sign a five-year deal at Old Trafford and will follow the likes of Cunha, Sesko, Mbeumo and Diego Leon through the door this summer.
