Manchester United have agreed a deal with Royal Antwerp for goalkeeper Senne Lammens for around £18.2m.
The 23-year-old is travelling to Manchester to finalise his move and undergo a medical.
The Belgian has agreed a five-year deal at Old Trafford.
Sky Sports News understands United looked at other options, including Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, but after much deliberation and negotiation, it was decided Lammens is the right choice for the club moving forward.
As it stands, United are expected to move forward with four goalkeepers, adding Lammens to their current group of Altay Bayindir, Andre Onana and Tom Heaton.
However, the windows in Turkey and Saudi Arabia are open until the 11th and 10th of September, respectively.
It is understood that if a suitable offer were to come in for their other keepers, it would be considered.
Head coach Ruben Amorim had previously said he was happy with his goalkeeping department, despite several high-profile errors from Onana and Bayindir across the early stages of the season.
Manchester United are set to sign Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens
Belgium shot-stopper Lammens now looks set to become the fifth signing of the summer for Ruben Amorim, taking their summer spend to £232m, following the arrivals of Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Diego Leon.
Lammens was signed two years ago from Club Brugge and any sale would represent nearly 100 per cent profit for the Belgian club.
He made 30 appearances in the Belgian Pro League last season for Antwerp, keeping seven clean sheets.
What can Man Utd expect from Lammens?
Football expert Kevin Hatchard on Sky Sports News:
“He’s very calm. The mentality is good, I’ve spoken to goalkeeping coaches and he’s been seen as a rising star in Belgium for quite a while.
“He was at Club Brugge and couldn’t get past Simon Mignolet, who was in excellent form. He went to Antwerp, and the number of shots he’s saving beyond what the expected goals would expect him to concede has been very, very high.
“Antwerp have one of the best defensive records in Belgium last season. But it’s a huge leap to be the No 1 at Man Utd.
“An interesting thing is that when Ruben Amorim was at Sporting, they were tracking him then. So there’s obviously been a like there for quite some time.”
Neville: United must sign a goalkeeper
Gary Neville was adamant Manchester United need to sign a new goalkeeper in the summer transfer window
Sky Sports’ Gary Neville:
“If your goalkeeper is making mistakes, it undermines everything that you do. And at Old Trafford, it’s the most unforgiving ground for goalkeepers.
“The Manchester United goalkeeper spot is the toughest position in English football, bar none. If you give goals away at United as a keeper, you’ll be scrutinised heavily.
“It’s not about never making mistakes – it’s about how you recover from them, your body language, and whether you look authoritative. The two they’ve got right now don’t fill that role.
“They have to get a goalkeeper in. I’ve thought it for months, and every United fan thinks the same.”

From this season, Sky Sports’ Premier League coverage will increase from 128 matches to at least 215 games exclusively live.

How TCU social media leaned into Bill Belichick hype: Memes, one-liners and plenty of receipts
TCU had a heckuva time ruining Bill Belichick’s big debut at North Carolina on Monday night. The only one who might’ve had as much fun as the Horned Frog players in Chapel Hill was 32-year-old Sam Lazarus.TCU’s director of football creative media, like the rest of the Horned Frogs, had taken note of how everything surrounding Monday night’s game was about Belichick and his team. Of course, that wasn’t a shock considering that the 73-year-old Belichick, the greatest coach in NFL history, was coaching his first game at the college level. The curiosity factor of that probably even topped what the Horned Frogs faced when they opened up two years ago against Colorado in Deion Sanders’ first FBS game. Still, for a team coming off a nine-win season with most of its top talent returning, the disrespect of being reduced […]
