Manchester United and Ruben Amorim are ready to move for Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens. The player is also keen on a switch to Old Trafford.
Amorim pushes for Lammens
Manchester United are gearing up for a late move in the market, this time targeting Royal Antwerp’s Senne Lammens. With less than two weeks left before the window shuts, the Red Devils have shifted focus towards goalkeeping options.
The Belgian has emerged as a serious contender after Man Utd cooled interest in **Aston Villa**’s Emiliano Martinez. Lammens has been on the club’s radar for months. Utd scouts are said to have kept a close eye on his steady rise in Belgium. Despite interest from Inter Milan, Lammens is believed to be open to joining United. That said, it has encouraged the Old Trafford club to prepare a formal bid.
The Belgian goalkeeper only became Antwerp’s number one last year. But, he quickly established himself at the club. He played 44 games in all competitions, keeping 10 clean sheets, and helping promote Antwerp to 5th in the league. He has started the season well, having played all four of Antwerp’s league games. Lammens is on a long-term contract to 2027. That means Man Utd will have to submit a strong offer to tempt his club into selling.
Transfer priorities shifting
United had originally placed Carlos Baleba at the top of their shortlist. But, Brighton’s £120m valuation forced them to move on. Now, the need for a reliable goalkeeper is at front and centre. Lammens is willing to test himself in the PL. That will likely help United when it comes to what could be a last-minute gamble. This could be an important signing for a club still searching for a long term option in goal.

United’s chase of Lammens feels sensible. He is not a big name yet, but his potential could possibly make him a perfect fit at the club.
