Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens for around €20m, with the 23-year-old expected to compete with Andre Onana. Onana has faced scrutiny following unconvincing displays since his July 2023 arrival from Inter for €44.4m. Altay Bayindir replaced Onana for the opening-day loss to Arsenal and made an error that led to the winning goal. United have rebuffed enquiries about Onana and he expects to remain at the club, but Lammens would increase competition. Onana may miss part of the season for Cameroon's Africa Cup of Nations. Four first-team players are training separately while seeking moves away and will not travel to Fulham.
Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony, Tyrell Malacia, and have been working separately since the start of pre-season as they seek moves away from Old Trafford. None of the four were included in the squad for United's pre-season tour, nor did they feature in the opening-day defeat to Arsenal. They will also not be part of the squad that travels to Fulham on Sunday.
The 6ft 3in Belgium Under-21 international made his senior debut for Club Brugge in July 2021 before moving to Antwerp two years later, making a first appearance for the club that November in a 2-0 Champions League defeat to Porto. Sources in Belgium suggest United have agreed terms with the player but it is understood that is not yet the case. Onana is likely to miss part of the season due to his involvement in Cameroon's Africa Cup of Nations campaign in Morocco.
