MU recruits new goalkeeper, not Dibu Martinez

On the last day of the 2025 summer transfer window, MU signed a contract with young Belgian goalkeeper - Senne Lammens for 22 million pounds, despite previous information that they had reached an agreement with Dibu Martinez.

Senne Lammens has flown to Manchester to finalize the transfer before the 7 pm deadline tonight (UK time).

Due to the inconsistency of Onana and Bayindir in goal, the Red Devils' leadership prioritized strengthening the goalkeeping position, with Lammens as the top target, alongside backup Emiliano "Dibu" Martinez.

After numerous negotiations, MU finally agreed on a transfer fee of £18.5 million, plus an additional £3.5 million in add-ons, with Antwerp FC.

Lammens is set to sign a five-year contract with the Old Trafford club. He will compete for the number one spot with Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir.

Manchester United's signing of Lammens also put an end to rumors of Emiliano Martinez joining MU on the final day of the summer transfer window.

Argentina's number one goalkeeper is keen to move to Manchester United, but he is only considered a backup option if the Red Devils fail to sign Lammens.

The Villa Park club has agreed to pay 80% of Sancho's salary, after he had previously rejected an offer to join AS Roma.
