Manchester United Target Young Belgian Goalkeeper as Possible Onana Successor

According to recent reports, Manchester United are showing interest in Royal Antwerp’s 22-year-old goalkeeper Senne Lammens as a potential long-term option between the posts. This move comes amid growing concerns over current number one Andre Onana’s form since joining the club.

While Onana initially started the season well, his performances have dipped in recent weeks, leading to speculation that United may look to bring in competition. The Telegraph reports that the Red Devils are eyeing a move for Lammens in 2025, seeing him as a future prospect who could eventually take over the starting role.

Lammens has impressed for Royal Antwerp this season, boasting an 80.6% save percentage and averaging over 4 saves per 90 minutes played. His stats compare favorably to Onana’s, highlighting his potential.

At just 22, Lammens represents a younger option that could develop alongside new manager Ruben Amorim’s project at Old Trafford. While Onana is only 28, questions remain over his suitability for Amorim’s preferred style of play, particularly when it comes to building attacks from the back.

While Manchester United likely have other squad priorities to address first, the interest in Lammens suggests the club is already planning for the future in goal. The young Belgian keeper appears to be one to watch as United potentially look to upgrade their goalkeeping options in the coming seasons.
