Manchester United hold off several clubs to sign promising goalkeeper

  • Manchester United have signed Senne Lammens from Antwerp for £18.1m, with the 23-year-old goalkeeper agreeing a five-year contract at Old Trafford.
  • The acquisition aims to resolve United's goalkeeping issues, providing competition for Altay Bayindir and Andre Onana, who have been culpable for goals this season.
  • Lammens was targeted after he recorded more saves than any other goalkeeper in Europe's top 10 leagues last season, demonstrating strong goals prevented metrics.
  • The Belgian expressed his pride and excitement at joining the club, viewing it as a dream come true and an ideal place for his development.
  • Lammens is United's fifth summer signing, joining attackers Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko, and wing-back Diego Leon, while the club also saw departures on deadline day.
