Manchester United are once again in the middle of big transfer drama. With just two weeks left before the summer transfer window closes, fans are waiting to see if new players will come in or if some stars will leave. The two biggest questions right now are about a goalkeeper and Jadon Sancho’s uncertain future.
United started their Premier League season with a tough 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at Old Trafford. Riccardo Calafiori scored the only goal with a strong header in the first half. New striker Benjamin Sesko made his debut, coming off the bench for Mason Mount. He looked lively but still needs time to adjust to the English game. The club hopes he can bring the goals they desperately need.
But behind the scenes, the real action is about transfers. Manager Ruben Amorim has already signed Diego Leon, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Sesko. Still, there is talk about more changes before the deadline.
Fabrizio Romano gave an update on the goalkeeper situation. Speaking on his YouTube channel, he said:

“The situation involving Emi Martinez has gone completely quiet. But a goalkeeper they still like and are still keeping an eye on is Senne Lammens, the goalkeeper of Royal Antwerp. Very talented goalkeeper, Belgian and United have been monitoring him for a long time. I told you about this interest in July and the beginning of August.”
“This interest remains and if United decide from now until the end of the window to invest on a goalkeeper – Lammens is the goalkeeper they like. So could be a possibility.”
“[Gianluigi] Donnarumma, they are aware of the situation but Man City are in concrete talks to sign him. So this is currently the situation for Man United but still, nothing imminent as of now.”
Lammens, who plays for Royal Antwerp, is only 22 but has impressed many scouts. United believe he could be a future star if given the chance. However, nothing is confirmed yet, and time is running out.
MEN Sport reported that Ruben Amorim’s decision to leave out Andre Onana in the Arsenal game could be a big signal. The manager may not be fully convinced by Onana’s training performances. That leaves the door open for another goalkeeper signing.
Altay Bayindir, who started against Arsenal, did not completely impress. While not fully responsible for the goal, he could have done better in clearing the ball from danger. That small mistake is enough to fuel more speculation.
If Amorim is truly not sure about his current goalkeepers, then United could make a late move for Lammens before the window closes.
While the goalkeeper question continues, Jadon Sancho’s future is also a big story. The winger has struggled to win back his place at Old Trafford. Now, Italian clubs are pushing hard for his signature.
Sky Italia reports that AS Roma have held positive talks with United about signing Sancho. The deal being discussed is a loan move, with an option to buy set at €25m (£22m).
Meanwhile, Corriere dello Sport claims that Sancho himself is still unsure. The report says he is taking “a few more days” to decide his future.
AS Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini personally spoke to Sancho about the project. He reportedly told the 25-year-old that he could become a key part of the squad and return to the form he showed at Borussia Dortmund.
For Sancho, the offer is tempting. Roma are ready to give him regular playing time. But to make the move, Sancho may need to agree to a lower wage. That could be the final hurdle before the deal is complete.
MEN Sport wrote that United only have two weeks left to complete any sales or signings. For Sancho, a fresh start in Italy could be the perfect chance to rebuild his career. For United, moving him on would also free up money for other signings.
The decision now rests on Sancho himself. Will he stay and fight for his place at United, or will he take the chance to start over in Serie A?
This summer transfer window has already been full of drama for United fans. New signings have arrived, key players like Sancho may leave, and the goalkeeper situation is still uncertain.
The next two weeks could define United’s season. If they sign a new goalkeeper, it will show Amorim’s lack of faith in Onana and Bayindir. If Sancho leaves, it will close a chapter of his difficult time in Manchester.
For now, fans can only wait. But one thing is clear: the transfer window is not over yet, and more surprises could come before deadline day.
