Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for a new goalkeeper, with Antwerp's Senne Lammens emerging as a potential target. This comes amidst uncertainty surrounding Andre Onana's future at the club and following unconvincing performances from both Onana and Altay Bayindir.

According to reports, Manchester United have been monitoring Lammens, a Belgian U-21 international, for over a month and are actively engaged in discussions to secure his signature. Fabrizio Romano suggests that personal terms are close to being agreed with the 23-year-old. However, United anticipate competition from clubs in France and Italy. The club is keen to finalize the deal swiftly amidst growing interest from other European teams.

The situation in United's goalkeeping department has been under scrutiny, especially after David de Gea's departure. Erik ten Hag initially brought in Onana, with whom he had a good working relationship at Ajax, believing he was the ideal fit for his preferred style of play. However, Onana's performances have been inconsistent, leading to questions about his long-term future at Old Trafford.

Following Erik ten Hag's departure and Ruben Amorim's appointment as manager, Onana's position as the first-choice goalkeeper has come under review. Amorim started Bayindir in the recent Premier League game, but his performance was unsatisfactory, prompting United to intensify their search for a new goalkeeper. Despite the potential arrival of Lammens, Andre Onana is expected to remain at the club. Amorim faces a decision on whether to reinstate Onana for the upcoming match against Fulham, especially after Bayindir's error in the defeat to Arsenal.

Senne Lammens previously spent time in Club Brugge's academy before joining Antwerp in 2023, where he signed a four-year contract. He received his first call-up to the Belgian senior squad in March of this year but is yet to make his international debut.

The club has been active in the transfer market, with Ruben Amorim bringing in new players such as Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko to bolster the attack. However, the focus has now shifted to strengthening the goalkeeping options. There have been reports of Inter Milan's interest in bringing Onana back, potentially opening up an opportunity for United to offer him on loan. It has been suggested that United are looking to offload players like Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund to boost their transfer funds.
