Lammens’ Agent Reveals Man United’s Late U-Turn on Onana

The 23-year-old Belgian has settled as United’s preferred keeper after a £18.2m deadline-day move.

Overview

  • Agent Mark Volders told HBVL that United initially planned to keep Andre Onana to help Senne Lammens adapt before reversing course at the end of the summer window.
  • Onana departed on loan to Trabzonspor soon after Lammens arrived, with reports stating the move does not include a purchase option.
  • Lammens joined from Royal Antwerp for £18.2m plus add-ons on a five-year contract completed on deadline day.
  • Early performances have been described as composed and stabilizing for United’s defence, with praise from former goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel.
  • Onana’s loan spell has disappointed relative to expectations, with 19 goals conceded and three clean sheets in 13 matches cited by recent coverage.
