Senne Lammens has been linked to a move to Manchester United for a while now with interest heating up in recent days.
A week before their travel to America, the Cameroon international will no longer play in the team’s summer friendly after suffering a hamstring injury during the first week of preseason training.
This had forced the Red Devils to be more active in the goalkeeper market with Altay Bayindir also linked to a move away.

With INEOS concentrating on long-term squad-building rather than just high-profile acquisitions, the club’s transfer strategy this window has tilted towards long-term planning.
Senne Lammens could be the perfect option for the Red Devils.
He’s known for his strong shot-stopping abilities, excellent reflexes, and distribution skills.
And Lammens himself has commented on the potential move.
As per the Mirror, although the goalie acknowledges that he was blown away by the Manchester team’s interest, he thinks his style of play would fit perfectly with English football.
“The first time I heard, I thought, ‘Wow,'” he said.
“Immediately a world-renowned team that follows you. That is special. Of course, I was also spoken to about it a lot, and when I made a save in training, it was United this, United that [from colleagues]… It’s only positive.
“Especially because it’s the best competition in the world, and my profile, my stature, and my way of playing are similar to English football. You have to physically hold your own there, and that suits me.”

According to reports, Antwerp is asking for about £17 million for their highly valued expertise.
Lammens is one of Belgium’s most promising young goalkeepers due to his physicality, command in the air, and quick reflexes.
Scouts throughout Europe are also impressed by his maturity for his age.
He could be a great coup for Ruben Amorim’s side given the deal goes through.
