Manchester United's goalkeeping department has undergone a seismic summer shift, culminating in the departure of young shot-stopper Senne Lammens. The 21-year-old Belgian has left the Red Devils, a move that solidifies the club's complete restructuring between the posts.
The exit comes directly on the heels of two major arrivals at Old Trafford. United secured the services of Inter Milan's Andre Onana for a staggering £47.2 million, appointing him as the new first-choice following David de Gea's departure. Turkish international Altay Bayindir was also brought in from Fenerbahce as a capable understudy.
Lammens, who joined United's academy from Club Brugge in 2020, found himself pushed down the pecking order to fourth choice. With the experienced Tom Heaton also remaining at the club, opportunities for first-team football for the youngster appeared non-existent.
While the club has not officially announced his next destination, reports strongly suggest a return to his native Belgium is on the cards. A permanent move away from Manchester is seen as the best step for Lammens to resume his playing career and seek regular minutes.
This series of moves marks one of the most dramatic goalkeeper overhauls in recent Premier League history, showcasing manager Erik ten Hag's decisive action in reshaping his squad for the new season.
