A massive Manchester United transfer update has piqued fans’ interest, as a flight has been monitored to the UK ahead of a possible announcement.
Manchester United is still looking for new talent after spending about £200 million on a new assault.
Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko have all been signed this summer.
Ruben Amorim, who has focused his offense, is looking to sign defensive players, particularly a new goalkeeper after the performances of Altay Bayindir and Andre Onana, who began in goal in his side’s shock Carabao Cup defeat to Grimsby Town.
Emiliano Martinez of Aston Villa was linked with a move to Old Trafford after previously being on the club’s radar.
But, according to David Ornstein, Manchester United has chosen Royal Antwerp’s Senne Lammens.
The sum of £18 million plus add-ons has been agreed upon, with no sell-on clause.
Lammens is travelling to Manchester with personal terms on a five-year contract agreed upon, as all sides strive to close a deal by Monday’s 7 p.m. (UK time) deadline.
Fans have also been notified about his flight from Antwerp to Manchester, which has been traced.
Before Ornstein’s update, one X user wrote: “Senne Lammens is flying from Antwerp to Manchester. A move to United could be imminent.”
Another item was added: “For the transfer junkies: Private jet en route to Manchester from Antwerp.”
Man United’s position on a new goalkeeper has shifted in the wake of their opening weekend defeat to Arsenal.
Bayindir started ahead of Onana and mishandled a corner kick, resulting in Arsenal’s goal.
The Turkish goalkeeper has started all three of Manchester United’s league games this season and has conceded four goals.
Onana, who cost £43.8 million from Inter Milan, failed to impress in goal when he was chosen for his team’s cup match against Grimsby.
Lammens, 23, is highly regarded in Belgium and might become Amorim’s first choice goalkeeper once he arrives.
If the Red Devils can complete the agreement, Lammens will become the club’s fifth acquisition this summer.
