Manchester United Signs Goalkeeper Senne Lammens for €21 Million

Manchester United has signed 23-year-old Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp in a deal reportedly worth €21 million plus potential add-ons, with a contract lasting until 2030. The move was prompted by a disappointing start to the Premier League season, where current goalkeepers Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir made costly errors, including a key mistake in a defeat to Arsenal and a poor display in the Carabao Cup. Lammens, who impressed with 12 clean sheets and the most saves in Europe's top leagues last season, is seen as a long-term investment and immediate solution to United's goalkeeping struggles. The club's Director of Football, Jason Wilcox, praised Lammens' potential and readiness, while manager Ruben Amorim expressed optimism about his future contributions. Lammens himself called joining Manchester United a "dream come true," highlighting the positive atmosphere and his eagerness to develop alongside the team. His arrival aims to strengthen a critical position as United seek to improve their defensive record following early-season setbacks.
