Manchester United are closing in on a deal to land a top goalkeeper within the next 24 hours. The transfer talks are said to be at an advanced stage.
United to bring in new goalkeeper
**Man United**’s transfer window has already been buzzing. The club has spent over £200m to sharpen the attack for head coach Ruben Amorim.
But it looks like the focus has shifted. According to reports, the club are pushing hard to bring in Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for around £17m. The Belgian shot-stopper has already agreed personal terms and shown green light to the project. Meanwhile, Antwerp are open to letting him go out of respect for his wishes.
Journalist Christopher Michel even hinted that United chiefs are confident the deal can be wrapped up before their PL clash with Burnley. That puts the club under the spotlight. The Red Devils fans will be waiting to see if this move can finally be sealed in record time.
Goalkeeping battle at Old Trafford
Lammens isn’t walking straight into the starting XI. Altay Bayindir and Andre Onana are still around, but Amorim has made it clear that competition is key. Bayindir got the nod against Arsenal and Fulham, while Onana has been left sitting on the bench.
If Lammens does arrive, one of the senior keepers could well be shown the exit before deadline day. It’s not just the goalkeeper spot under the scanner either. United are also expected to cash in on names like Alejandro Garnacho, Tyrell Malacia and Jadon Sancho. The club is looking to trim the squad as Amorim builds his own system.

This move feels like a smart option. Lammens addition to the team sets the tone for a squad built on competition. If United wants to get back to the top, signings like this are important.
