'Dream come true' - Lammens joins Man Utd from Royal Antwerp

Manchester United have signed Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for an initial 21m euros (£18.1m) plus add-ons.

Lammens, 23, who is yet to win a senior cap for his country, arrives at Old Trafford on a five-year contract.

"I am extremely proud to be joining Manchester United. It is a real dream come true," said Lammens.

"The past few years have been an amazing journey, it's now ended in an incredible destination and hopefully the beginning of something special."

Lammens has made 64 appearances for Royal Antwerp and helped them win the Belgian Super Cup in 2023.

He was named in the Belgium national team squad for the first time in March.

United's director of football Jason Wilcox added: "Senne is an excellent young goalkeeper with great potential.

"We are delighted that he has chosen to join Manchester United after significant interest from a number of clubs."

Lammens' arrival at Old Trafford comes with the club keen to address obvious problems in their goalkeeping department.

Turkey's Altay Bayindir has made errors in the Premier League and last season's number one Andre Onana was at fault for a goal in their EFL Cup exit to League Two side Grimsby.

Neither have convinced since joining the club in 2023, during the same summer in which United allowed David de Gea to leave as a free agent and sold England international Dean Henderson to Crystal Palace.

The club's current third choice Tom Heaton, 39, has not made a senior appearance for United since 1 February, 2023.
