Manchester United completed the signing of Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for €21m (£18m) plus add-ons on transfer deadline day, choosing him over Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martínez to strengthen Ruben Amorim’s goalkeeping options. The 22-year-old is United’s fourth major signing of the widow, following Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, to take the club’s summer spending to £225.2m

Lammens travelled to Manchester on Monday afternoon prior to signing a five-year contract. United consider Lammens, who has nine caps for Belgium’s Under-21 side, a prospect for the future who can also challenge André Onana or Altay Bayindir for the No 1 spot immediately.
