Club expect to receive official Man Utd transfer bid for goalkeeper 'soon'
Manchester United have firmed up their interest in Senne Lammens and Royal Antwerp are expecting a bid for the goalkeeper in due course, according to reports in Belgium. Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon remain United's only additions of the summer transfer window on the back of the club's wretched 2024/25 campaign under Ruben Amorim. But the Red Devils are understood to made a significant breakthrough in their attempts to sign Bryan Mbeumo and forward's move from Brentford is set to be officially confirmed over the coming days. Determined to further strengthen Amorim's squad from back to front, United's hierarchy will quickly focus their attentions on finding an upgrade for Andre Onana once Mbeumo arrives through the doors at the Theatre of Dreams. Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez, Porto's Diogo Costa and Lille's Lucas Chevalier are all understood to be on United's radar as Old Trafford bosses look to address the side's miserable defensive record in recent seasons.

Meanwhile, Belgian publication HLN report that Royal Antwerp shot-stopper Lammens, 23, finds himself at the top of United's shortlist of potential solutions between the sticks, with the club's interest 'becoming more concrete'. The report adds that Antwerp believe there is a 'good chance' that United will make an official offer for Lammens 'soon'. It's claimed the Belgian Pro League outfit are hoping to receive a bid in the region of €15-20million (£13-17.3m) for the former Belgium Under-21 international. While Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray are also monitoring Lammens' situation, the 'keeper is said to be holding out for a move to one of Europe's top five leagues. Lammens' current contract in Antwerp runs through to June 2027. United have been keeping close tabs on Lammens' progress in Belgian football for the past six months and, in February, the young goalkeeper told Gazet van Antwerpen he was flattered to learn of the club's interest. In the same interview, the ex-Club Brugge man also argued that his game was perfectly suited to the Premier League, which he branded 'the best competition in the world'. 'The first time I heard it, I thought, 'Wow! Immediately a world team is following you', and that is special,' Lammens said. 'Of course, I was also asked about it a lot, and when I made a save in training 'Those top clubs have so many scouts and follow so many players so it doesn't have to mean anything yet. It will only become clear in the summer whether anything will come of it. But of course, it is only positive. 'Especially because it is just about the best competition in the world and my profile – my stature and way of playing – is suitable for English football. 'You have to physically hold your own there and that suits me. 'You do follow the teams that follow you a bit. But it's not like I'm watching full matches. Summaries are enough.'

'That is special' – 22-year-old responds to Manchester United transfer interest
Manchester United have been linked with a transfer move for Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens in recent times, and the player has now responded to the rumours. The 22-year-old has impressed and looks like a big talent to watch for the future, so it could be that we'll one day see him at a big club like Man Utd. Sources recently told CaughtOffside about the Red Devils looking at Lammens, while Arsenal could also be suitors to keep an eye on. Lammens might arguably be good enough to give United an upgrade on Andre Onana in goal, with the Cameroon international mostly struggling in his time at Old Trafford so far. The player himself has now commented on the speculation, and it's fair to say he seems pretty excited to be linked with a big name like United. When asked about MUFC apparently being interested in him, Lammens told Gazet van Antwerpen, as quoted and translated by Sport Witness: 'The first time I heard it, I thought: wow, Immediately a world team that follows you. That is special. Of course I was also asked about it a lot and when I made a save in training, 'Those top clubs have so many scouts and follow so many players. So it doesn't have to mean anything yet. It will only become clear in the summer whether anything will come of it. But of course, it is only positive. 'Especially because it is about the best competition in the world and my profile – my stature and way of playing – is suitable for English football. You have to physically hold your own there and that suits me. 'I do follow the teams that follow you a bit. But it's not like I'm watching full matches. Summaries are enough.'
