Man United make improved offer for Senne Lammens before deadline day

Manchester United are desperate to add a new goalkeeper to their ranks with less than 48 hours remaining in the window.

According to The Telegraph, Man United have made an improved offer to Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens.

The Belgian outfit is expected to sanction his exit for a fee upwards of £20 million.

It was previously understood that £17m fee would be enough to bring Lammens to Old Trafford.

Recruiting a new goalkeeper seems to be a priority after horror showings from Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir.

The duo have made high-profile errors at the back over the past 24 months.

United cannot afford mistakes from their last line of defence in every game.

Both of them have failed to show authority in the box, with oppositions easily getting the better of them during corner set-pieces.

They are vulnerable to physical contact and are playing without confidence.

Lammens is a highly promising talent and enjoyed a breakthrough 2024-25 season.

He featured in 40 Belgian Pro League games last season, posting an impressive 77% save rate.

His arrival could raise big doubts over the long-term futures of Onana and Bayindir.

The Turkish international could also be sent on a loan to trim the bloated goalkeeping department.

Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is another name on their shortlist, but the Midlands outfit value him at £40m.

If Aston Villa stick to their asking price, signing Lammens would be the better alternative.

With time running out, United have to accelerate their pursuit, as they are yet to agree on personal terms with the 23-year-old.
