United Retain Interest in Belgian Goalkeeper

Manchester United are reportedly considering a potential move for Royal Antwerp’s Senne Lammens before the transfer deadline, as revealed by senior reporter Fabrizio Romano for GIVEMESPORT. The Premier League side have been evaluating the 23-year-old Belgian, who has been under their observation for several months, as they weigh up options to strengthen their goalkeeping ranks.

Lammens, who made the switch from Brugge to Antwerp during the summer of 2023, quickly established himself as the primary goalkeeper at the Belgian club. Last season, he notched up 44 appearances in all competitions and kept 10 clean sheets, underpinning his status as a key performer for Antwerp.

Romano Details United’s Goalkeeper Search

In a recent update shared via his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano indicated that Manchester United’s interest in Lammens remains steadfast. Romano stated, “A goalkeeper they still like, and I will still keep an eye on, is Senne Lammens, the goalkeeper of Royal Antwerp.

“Very talented goalkeeper. Belgian. May United have been monitoring him for a long time. I told you about this interest already in July, at the beginning of August, and this interest remains.

“I think, if Man United decide from now to the end of the window to invest on a goalkeeper, Lammens is a goalkeeper they like. So it could be a possibility.”

Old Trafford’s Number One Dilemma

Ruben Amorim’s recent selection choices have brought the Manchester United goalkeeping situation into further focus. In United’s season opener against Arsenal on Sunday, Amorim opted to start Altay Bayindir instead of Andre Onana, but Bayindir’s early error ultimately allowed Arsenal to secure a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford.

While Amorim publicly supported Bayindir after the match, scrutiny over the club’s number-one spot has intensified, with neither Bayindir nor Onana fully convincing as the first-choice option between the posts.

Lammens’ Recent Performances and Contract Details

Despite only stepping into Antwerp’s starting role last season, Lammens has maintained his place in the side at the outset of the new campaign. He has started all four of Antwerp’s league fixtures in the 2025/26 season, overseeing three draws and one win, conceding a single goal in each match.

The Belgian international signed a four-year contract upon his arrival from Brugge in 2023, keeping him at Antwerp until June 2027. Any approach from Manchester United would have to reflect the duration and value of this existing deal.
