Lammens completes move to Man Utd as Sancho departs on loan

Manchester United have signed goalkeeper Senne Lammens in an £18m deal from Royal Antwerp.

The 23-year-old has signed a five-year deal with the club and becomes Ruben Amorim’s fifth signing of the summer.

Lammens, who has represented his native Belgium at under-21 level, joined Antwerp from Club Brugge in 2023 and has gone on to play 64 times for the club.

“I am extremely proud to be joining Manchester United; it is a real dream come true,” Lammens said. “The past few years have been an amazing journey; it’s now ended in an incredible destination and hopefully the beginning of something special. 

“You can feel the positive atmosphere that is being created here, and I know that I can make a real impact at the club in the coming years. I cannot wait to get to know my team-mates and begin working with Ruben and the coaching staff. This is the perfect place to keep developing, grow together with this exciting team and achieve my career objectives.” 

Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho has followed Antony and Rasmus Hojlund in departing the club, joining Aston Villa on loan for the season.
