Manchester United have finalized the signing of Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp in a substantial transfer reportedly valued at approximately £18.2 million, with additional performance-related add-ons included .
The 23-year-old has committed to a five-year contract, extending his stay at Old Trafford until 2030 . The club’s official announcement confirms the agreement is pending international clearance and registration .
Lammens arrives with an impressive track record, having made over 60 appearances for Royal Antwerp and playing a pivotal role in their 2023 Belgian Super Cup triumph . During the 2024–25 season, his consistency between the posts earned him the most clean sheets in the Belgian Pro League and recognition as Antwerp’s Player of the Month on multiple occasions .
Manchester United’s decision to recruit Lammens comes amid mounting criticism of their current goalkeeping options. Both Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir have made costly errors early in the season, prompting manager Ruben Amorim and his staff to seek reinforcements . The club reportedly opted against the pursuit of Aston Villa’s World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, citing concerns over age and valuation, and instead chose the younger, more potential-filled Lammens .
