Manchester United is ready to take another step in the transfer market, while Ruben Amorim is approaching the conquest of goalkeeper Senne Lammens of Royal Antwerp
Manchester United continues to talk to Land -goalkeeper Senne Lammens of Royal Antwerp in a deal worth £ 17.3 million while Ruben Amorim responds to calls to add a new shotstopper.
A transfer is close by and the current negotiation center around the structure of each deal. The 23-year-old, when he arrives in Manchester, is seen as a long-term project instead of someone who would come in and immediately become the first choice, reports Sky Sports.
United's interest in Lammens is also not motivated by a desire to discharge one of their current goalkeeper. Altay Bayindir Deputte for Andre Onana in the loss of last Sunday against Arsenal, but his mistake eventually turned out to be crucial in the end result.
Onana himself was not convinced during his two years in Manchester and there was talk of him this summer, although he is determined to stay and prove himself as soon as he returns to full fitness.
After the loss of Sunday, Amorim claimed that he was happy with the options he had between the sticks and would not lead all the arrivals to another keeper who leaves Manchester with Onana, Bayindir and Tom Heaton that is currently available.
The Portuguese boss said: “It is no idea that 'these players will leave and then we will receive another player'. We don't know what will happen, but we are not waiting to eliminate someone to take another player with you [in].
“One is not responsible for the other. The players you are talking about are not players who are currently training with the group. We have a group training, so it will not influence much.”
Gary Neville was one of those to insist that his former club went on the market for a new keeper. He claimed that it was a problem that would continue to chase them and the lack of a dominant presence would hinder their backline.
“There is a striking problem that Man United cannot ignore and it is the fact that they have to find a keeper. They have to,” said the Sky Sports Pundit.
“I am unambiguously about that because I had an experience with Man Utd for 20 years where there were two large periods of seven or eight years with Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van der Sar. In between, we had seven or eight keepers in a six, seven, eight -year period and it is really worrying if you don't have a dominant No. 1.”
