Manchester United are accelerating plans to sign Royal Antwerp’s Senne Lammens as Andre Onana faces weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring injury that has ruled him out of pre-season.
The Red Devils, who already harbored concerns over Onana’s inconsistency, are now eyeing the 21-year-old Belgian stopper as a potential replacement, with a £17 million price tag set by his club.

The injury to Onana couldn’t have come at a worse time for manager Ruben Amorim, who is now left without his first-choice goalkeeper just as United ramp up preparations for their Premier League opener against Arsenal.
The Cameroonian, who arrived at Old Trafford from Inter Milan in 2023 for £44 million, has endured a turbulent spell plagued by high-profile blunders, some of which led directly to goals.

Sources close to the club suggest that patience with Onana is wearing thin, with United even willing to take a £30 million financial hit to offload him this summer.
While Onana is determined to stay and fight for his place, insiders reveal that a £30 million offer could convince the club to move on, especially given the mounting pressure to trim the wage bill.
Enter Senne Lammens. The towering Royal Antwerp goalkeeper has admitted feeling starstruck when he learned of Manchester United’s interest, calling it “special” and a dream opportunity.
“The first time I heard, I thought, ‘Wow’… It’s the best competition in the world and my profile suits English football,” Lammens said. “You need to be physically strong and I feel that matches the way I play.” He said.
Premier League scouts have long admired Lammens’ shot-stopping ability, composure under pressure, and physical presence in the box, qualities that Manchester United are now desperate to add as a contingency plan for the erratic Onana.
Ruben Amorim previously benched Onana after a calamitous display at Lyon, and with interest brewing from AS Monaco and Saudi Arabian clubs, albeit with limited financial power to meet United’s valuation, there’s now a real possibility that Old Trafford could see a goalkeeping reshuffle before the season begins.
As talks intensify, Lammens’ move could shape up to be one of the most unexpected twists of United’s summer transfer window.
