In a surprising twist to Manchester United's summer transfer plans, the Red Devils have set their sights on Club Brugge's teenage goalkeeper Senne Lammens. The 19-year-old shot-stopper has emerged as a potential target as Erik ten Hag looks to strengthen his options between the posts.
Rising Star from Belgium
Senne Lammens, who currently serves as understudy to first-choice goalkeeper Simon Mignolet at Club Brugge, has been turning heads with his performances in Belgium. Despite his young age, the goalkeeper has already made his professional debut and represents Belgium at under-21 level, marking him as one of the country's most promising talents.
United's Goalkeeping Shake-up
Manchester United's interest comes amid potential changes to their goalkeeping department. With veteran Tom Heaton's contract expiring and Altay Bayindir possibly seeking more regular first-team football, United are exploring options to provide competition and cover for number one Andre Onana.
The Belgian connection could prove significant, with Lammens potentially following in the footsteps of fellow countryman Romelu Lukaku, who also began his career at Anderlecht before moving to Chelsea.
What Lammens Would Bring to Old Trafford
- Youthful energy and potential for development
- Experience training alongside former Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet
- International pedigree with Belgium's youth setup
- Potential long-term solution in goal
While Lammens remains under contract with Club Brugge until 2026, Manchester United's interest signals their commitment to building for the future. The move would align with the club's strategy of identifying and developing young talent, though any transfer would likely see Lammens initially serving as backup while adapting to Premier League demands.
As the summer transfer window approaches, this potential move demonstrates United's broad scouting network and willingness to explore unexpected opportunities to strengthen their squad.
