Manchester United goalkeepers Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir allowed Tottenham and Wolves to score directly from a corner in the last few games – and the Red Devils could now bring in Belgian starlet Senne Lammens
Manchester United are monitoring young Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens after seeing both of their senior shot-stoppers make high-profile errors in recent weeks.
United’s season continues to go through a turbulent spell under new boss Ruben Amorim and while the entire team have been guilty of under-par performances, goalkeepers Andrea Onana and Altay Bayindir have both made mistakes.
The duo each allowed Tottenham and Wolves to score directly from a corner in the last few games while Onana also came under fire earlier this month for making gaffes against Nottingham Forest and Viktoria Plzen.
Now United are hoping to remedy the situation by adding more competition in between the sticks, according to the Telegraph, with a move for highly-rated Lammens.
The Royal Antwerp star has already caught attention from Bundesliga clubs such as Borussia Dortmund, the report claims, and United have sent scouts to watch the 22-year-old to ensure they get ahead of the curb.
It says that while a move in January is not a priority, there could be “movement” in the summer – especially if Bayindir chooses to go elsewhere in search of first team opportunities.
Onana joined United for £47m from Inter last summer but has been highly scrutinised for a string of errors. The former Ajax keeper has made a total of 76 appearance for the Red Devils.
The report goes on to say that United will be limited with signings in January transfer window as they look to comply with financial fair play regulations.
There could be a number of outgoings, however, with Juventus reportedly eyeing up a move for Joshua Zirzkee amid his difficult start to life at Old Trafford since his big money switch from Bologna in the summer.
Another United player who is being strongly linked with an exit is Marcus Rashford, who gave a bombshell interview revealing he wants to leave the club following a difficult season – and has been left out of the last four matchday squads.
However, despite interest from Juventus in Zirkzee, it’s also reported that they are not interested in pursuing a move for Rashford – who could be forced to play outside of Europe amid rumours he is being chased by Saudi clubs.
