Manchester United’s summer transfer business has already been one of the most active in recent memory, with new signings bolstering key positions ahead of what promises to be a gruelling Premier League campaign.
Ruben Amorim’s men have been shaping up well in training, with tactical tweaks and increased squad depth giving fans plenty to be optimistic about.
The opening fixtures will be a huge test, but United’s pre-season form and new arrivals suggest a team ready to push for silverware this season.
Away from the bright lights of Old Trafford’s first-team headlines, the recruitment team have been quietly drawing up contingency plans for multiple positions.
Goalkeeper, a role often overlooked when the first-choice is settled, has been under discreet review.
The club’s scouting network has been monitoring several emerging talents across Europe in the event of any unexpected departures in the shot-stopping department.
This summer, one name in particular made it high on United’s list of potential targets.
That man is Senne Lammens, the highly rated 23-year-old Belgian currently at Royal Antwerp.
United identified Lammens as a possible incoming should one of their current goalkeepers leave in the current window.
The 6ft 6in keeper has caught attention across Europe for his commanding presence, sharp reflexes, and ability to play out from the back — attributes highly valued in modern football.
However, any hopes of landing Senne Lammens may now be fading fast.
Inter Milan have stepped up their interest, with talks scheduled with Antwerp over a potential deal, as per Mike McGrath via X.

The Italian giants are eager to bring in a long-term option between the posts, and Lammens has emerged as a serious target.
French clubs are also keeping tabs on the situation, but reports suggest Inter are currently leading the race for his signature.
United haven’t ruled themselves out entirely, but sources close to the club acknowledge that competition is fierce and a bidding battle is not part of their preferred strategy for this particular signing.
With Inter moving quickly, the Red Devils may have to watch this one slip away unless circumstances change dramatically in the coming days.
Manchester United had Senne Lammens high on list of options this summer in event of goalkeeper leaving but 23yo is a serious target for Inter Milan who are set for talks with Antwerp. French club also there for him but Inter are pushing for Belgian
