According to Sky Sports, Manchester United is still trying to finalize a deal for Senne Lammens, the goalkeeper for Royal Antwerp. The Red Devils presented a deal sheet for the young goalkeeper to join them in the closing hours of the transfer window.
Following some subpar play from current goalkeeping combination Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir, United target Lammens flew to Manchester earlier on Monday in the hopes of formalizing a move to Old Trafford. He has subsequently undergone medical testing and agreed to personal terms with the club.

Additionally, a transaction sheet has been submitted beyond the 7 p.m. deadline, according to Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth. The club needs more time to finish the paperwork so that the Belgian may play under Ruben Amorim this season. Live on Sky Sports News, Sheth stated:
“Just a line on Senne Lammens, I’ve just been told now that is subject of a deal sheet. So Manchester United did put a deal sheet in between 5pm and 7pm, so they got most of that deal done – they just needed that extra time to negotiate.
“He flew to Manchester earlier today after a deal worth €21million (£18.1million) plus add-ons was agreed.
“He’s agreed a five-year contract, he’s been having a medical. Manchester United, you talk about Emiliano Martinez, they considered a number of options, and he was the notable one.”
Lammens has only come to the fore in Belgium’s top-flight over the past two seasons, but his promise and youth coupled with the experience he’s garnered means that he could be a real asset for United in the future.
