Senne Lammens misses Antwerp clash as United move looms

Senne Lammens will miss Royal Antwerp’s Pro League clash with Mechelen on Sunday.

The 23-year-old goalkeeper is poised to join Manchester United for around £17m.

Antwerp will line up without him as United prepare to formalise the transfer.

The plan is to stand him down ahead of the 12.30pm kickoff.

United expect the move to be official imminently.

Meanwhile, Antwerp must adapt without him.

City money and big moves keep dominating talks around the sport, yet this departure feels personal.

Geordie fans will watch the transfer with pride and unease, but they will not look away.

TLDR

Lammens moves closer to a United switch.

Antwerp’s match acts as a backdrop to the deal.

The transfer narrows the focus on both clubs’ futures.
