After agreeing to sign Bryan Mbuemo, Manchester United is already pursuing their next summer transfer target. According to reports, first negotiations are being held over a deal worth approximately £17 million.
On Friday afternoon, it was finally revealed that United and Brentford had reached an agreement to buy Mbeumo, following weeks of conjecture.
According to The Athletic, a deal for up to £71 million has been reached, and the Cameroonian forward is expected to become the team’s third summer acquisition after Diego Leon and Matheus Cunha.
Andre Onana is anticipated to miss the remainder of preseason and maybe their first Premier League match against Arsenal due to a hamstring injury, so United is also searching for a new goalkeeper.
Although Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton are dependable backups, it seems United is prepared to make a move for Senne Lammens, the highly regarded goalkeeper for Royal Antwerp.
One of the most talked-about goalkeepers in world football at the moment is Senne Lammens. Picture courtesy of: Among the best goalkeepers in Europe is Getty Lammens. In the Belgian Pro League past season, he not only had the most saves (127) and the highest save percentage (81.4%), but he also gave up 14.5 fewer goals than xG would have predicted.
According to transfer specialist Ben Jacobs, Lammens has been on United’s radar for a while. In reality, there has been interest since January, and preliminary discussions have already begun this summer.
The Belgian goalie is valued at approximately £17 million by Antwerp.
In an interview with Belgian publication Gazet van Antwerpen this year, Lammens discussed United’s interest in him and how he might fit in the Premier League.
“I thought, ‘Wow,’ when I first heard,” Lammens remarked.
“You are immediately followed by a world-renowned crew. That is unique. Naturally, I also heard a lot about it from my coworkers, and when I made a save during training, it was United this, United that.
He went on to say, “It’s only positive,” “In particular, my profile, stature, and style of play are akin to English football, and it’s the greatest competition in the world. There, you have to compete physically, and I like that.”

Emiliano Martínez of Aston Villa is one of the goalkeeping options that United has been connected to in recent weeks, although transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano seems to deny any impending deal.
On his YouTube channel, Romano stated, “Manchester United has not made any bid.” “Sources close to Aston Villa also confirm that they have not received an official bid from Manchester United.”
“United had multiple conversations with Martinez’s representation to learn more about the player’s circumstances. However, this occurred in June already. It wasn’t this week, yesterday, or today.
“At the moment, there are still no club-to-club negotiations,” he continued. However, Man United is aware of Emi Martinez’s predicament. He might be willing to join.
