‘Dream come true’ – Lammens joins Man Utd from Royal Antwerp

Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp has been signed for an initial sum of 21 million euros (£18. M) plus add-ons by Manchester United.

Lammens, 23, has a five-year contract at Old Trafford and is yet to earn a senior cap for his country.

“I’m very pleased to be playing for Manchester United.” It’s truly a dream come true,” Lammens remarked.

“The past few years have been an incredible journey, and hopefully there will be something special when it ends up here.”

Royal Antwerp won the Belgian Super Cup in 2023 with the assistance of Lammens, who has made 64 appearances for them.

In March, he was named for the first time in the Belgium national team.

Jason Wilcox, the director of football for United, stated: “Senne has great potential. She is a great young goalkeeper.”

Lammens’ arrival at Old Trafford comes as the club is working to fix glaring issues with goalkeeping.

Altay Bayindir, the country’s top player, has made errors in the Premier League, and Andre Onana, the country’s top scorer, was responsible for a goal against League Two side Grimsby last year.

Since joining the club in 2023, when United released England international Dean Henderson for free and gave David de Gea his contract at United, neither have persuaded them.
