Man Utd ready to ‘push ahead’ with talks to sign £17m star they ‘like a lot’, it’s an ‘upgrade’

Manchester United’s transfer window is beginning to show signs of life with another signing on the cards for Ineos.It has been a summer of slow movement for Manchester United in the transfer window.After securing the signing of Matheus Cunha on July 1st, it looked like United were in for an efficient and fast moving summer, but this ended up being false.Since then, apart from pre-arranged Diego Leon and Enzo Kana-Biyik deals, United haven’t signed or sold anyone, which has led to an ever-growing frustration among the fanbase.However, this week has seen progress toward signing Bryan Mbeumo after a third bid was made to match Brentford’s asking price. Now, United are ready to make another move this summer.READ: Manchester United confirmed signings, transfers in, out, loan exits, releases for 2025/26 Photo by Tomas Sisk / Photonews via Getty ImagesManchester United ready to swoop in for Senne LammensAfter bolstering the attack, United remain keen on signing a goalkeeper, and this has led to links with Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez, a deal which would go against all of the plans Ineos have been working within since taking charge.Now, United in Focus understands, after speaking with transfer correspondent Graeme Bailey, that the club are making moves to sign an alternative.United sources have confirmed to United in Focus that the keeper they are set to push ahead with this summer is Senne Lammens.United have already had talks with his people and are ready to engage in discussions with Royal Antwerp – who are believed to value the 23-year-old at around €20million (£17m).He is seen as someone who can push current number one Andre Onana and the club like him as a goalkeeper.This move would mean they United will move on from Altay Bayindir – United in Focus understand that they have informed his people that he can move on this summer and they are already working on potential options for the Turkish shot-stopper.Bailey then spoke on the Lammens deal.“United have been working very hard on the goalkeeping department as revealed earlier this month – they have many options they have been assessing.“They like Lammens a lot and I am told they are now exploring bringing him to the club. They see this as an upgrade and someone who is capable of pushing Onana.“Had Onana not been injured we could have been talking about a new number one two, but that looking less likely now.”READ: Who is Senne Lammens? Man Utd transfer target can fix problem position for the next decadeWho is Manchester United target Senne Lammens?Interest in signing Senne Lammens is no shock, with the Belgian goalkeeper emerging over the past year as one of the most exciting up and comers in the position.Lammens has been the best goalkeeper in Belgium last season and he is only getting better, which could now see him heading to the Premier League.United face competition from Premier League sides, however, with the decision to make Lammens top choice to challenge Onana, Ineos will surely be leading the race.Before interest from United accelerated, Antwerp opened the door for Lammens’ sale and now it looks like Ineos have one foot inside that door.
