Manchester United near Senne Lammens deal as Onana faces uphill battle for No 1
Manchester United are close to signing Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp.
Reports say the deal is worth about €20 million.
Lammens will compete with André Onana for the No 1 shirt.
However, Onana has endured a run of unconvincing displays.
He arrived from Inter for £44.4 million in July 2023.
United dropped Onana from the squad for the opening day loss to Arsenal.
Altay Bayindir then made an error that allowed Riccardo Calafiori’s winner.
The transfer would give United a different profile in goal.
Moreover, supporters want sliding energy and mental toughness in the stands and on the pitch.
Yet some will say Manchester City have the money, but United fans want the right heart.
Personally I hear the roar at Old Trafford and know this move is about intensity over flash.
TLDR
- Senne Lammens nears United move to challenge Onana.
- The deal emphasizes graft and intensity over style.
- The move hints at money versus heart in modern football.
