Man United Defends 2025 Transfer Strategy, Dismisses ‘Panic Buy’ Label for Lammens

Jason Wilcox says recruitment was coordinated through weekly data-led meetings, with the new goalkeeper long on the club’s shortlist.

Overview

  • Wilcox contrasts a calm, planned 2025 window with the previous summer’s more chaotic approach in comments on MUTV’s Inside Carrington.
  • United prioritized Premier League-ready attackers, completing deals for Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko.
  • Senne Lammens arrived from Royal Antwerp on deadline day and has since taken the No. 1 role, while Andre Onana joined Trabzonspor on loan.
  • Wilcox outlines a joined-up process involving manager Ruben Amorim, recruitment lead Chris Vivell, scouts and the data team in continuous review.
  • The Mirror reports Lammens cost £18.5m plus add-ons and estimates total summer spending at about £220m, with early displays credited for increased stability in goal.
