A top goalkeeper has expressed disbelief at Manchester United’s interest.
He admitted that the mere thought of joining the Red Devils makes it hard for him to say no if a compelling offer comes his way.
Manchester United currently face significant challenges in key positions. Their goalkeeping department remains a worry. Andre Onana has not impressed this season, while backup Altay Bayindir fights for more playing time. Bayindir, who enjoyed regular starts at Fenerbahce, clearly seeks a change.
Belgian sensation Senne Lammens, aged 22, has emerged as a prime target. The 6ft 4in stopper dazzles for Royal Antwerp after moving from Club Brugge ahead of the 2023/24 campaign. His physical presence and ability between the sticks have captured the club’s attention.
Lammens admitted he was stunned by the interest. “The first time I heard it, I thought, ‘Wow,’” he revealed after only one full season at Antwerp. He stressed that if an offer comes along which benefits his current club, he will consider it seriously.

The young keeper could provide long-term cover for United. He may initially back up Onana while the club reassesses its goalkeeping options. His potential arrival might also influence Altay Bayindir’s future as the search for regular minutes continues.
Questions linger over Onana’s future at the club. His performance has not convinced United that he is the long-term No. 1. With urgent needs on the flanks and upfront, the club might choose to maintain the status quo in goal for now.
In a separate match incident, criticism arose following Abdoulaye Doucoure’s goal. Everton grabbed the lead through Beto before Doucoure doubled the advantage with a soaring header. A veteran defender sharply criticized a teammate for failing to track back, stressing that timely recovery is essential in defense.
Sources have confirmed that coach Ruben Amorim has given the green light for signing Sporting CP’s Geovany Quenda. The versatile player, primarily used as a right wing-back, can also operate across the flank. Sporting values him at €60m, while Manchester United aim to secure him for around €40m—a move that underscores their determination to bolster the squad.
