Manchester United Poised to Move One Goalkeeper After Lammens Arrival

Open Saudi and Turkish transfer windows create a pathway for a single goalkeeper to leave.

Overview

  • United have signed 23-year-old Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for around £18m plus add-ons, and he is expected to go straight into the team after the international break.
  • The club is listening to offers for André Onana and Altay Bayındır but plans to sanction only one exit, with either a loan or a permanent deal under consideration.
  • Reported interest in Onana includes Galatasaray and four Saudi Pro League clubs — Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al Ittihad and Al Shabab — with no concrete bids disclosed.
  • Transfer deadlines extend beyond the Premier League’s closure, with Turkey’s window shutting on September 12 and Saudi Arabia’s on September 23.
  • Onana and Bayındır’s shaky 2024/25 form and veteran Tom Heaton’s availability have reshaped the goalkeeping hierarchy and accelerated United’s decision-making.
