Manchester United’s ongoing transfer chase for Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens is stirring uncertainty around the future of their current shot-stoppers, Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir.
According to a report from Football Insider, the Red Devils’ interest in securing the services of the young Belgian goalkeeper could force a decision on whether one of their senior keepers will leave before the summer transfer window closes on September 1.
Lammens is reportedly close to finalizing a deal that would see him arrive at Old Trafford as a back-up option, while also providing serious competition for the club’s No.1 jersey this season.
Gary Neville’s Prediction on Onana’s Exit
Former United captain and club legend Gary Neville had earlier speculated that Andre Onana, who joined Manchester United from Inter Milan, might reconsider his future at the club if a young and ambitious goalkeeper like Lammens joins the squad. Neville suggested that such competition could potentially trigger Onana to look for opportunities elsewhere, especially if his place as first-choice keeper comes under pressure.
Progress on the Deal
Sources close to the negotiations confirm that Royal Antwerp have already communicated their valuation for Lammens to Manchester United. Reports further indicate that the 21-year-old goalkeeper has agreed on personal terms with the Red Devils, paving the way for an official announcement once the clubs finalize the agreement.
Should the deal go through, Lammens will be expected to learn and adapt quickly while challenging United’s current options between the sticks. This development leaves both Onana and Bayindir in a position of uncertainty, as the club might look to balance its squad depth by offloading one of them before the window shuts.
