Since David de Gea left the club, Manchester United have struggled to replace him. When De Gea left the club, Erik ten Hag was the manager of United.
So, the Dutch manager signed a goalkeeper he knew well from his days managing Ajax. Also, the performance of the goalkeeper with Inter Milan was amazing.
That is why, at that time, signing Andre Onana looked like the best move as United would be able to play the way Erik ten Hag wanted.
Ten Hag wanted to start the build-up from the goalkeeper, and De Gea was not comfortable with that. That is why Onana looked like the best replacement for United.
But soon, things went south as Onana’s mistakes kept hurting Manchester United game after game.
Once Erik ten Hag got sacked and Ruben Amorim took over the charge at Old Trafford, Onana’s position at United’s No.1 came into question.
Now, Ruben Amorim wants to change the goalkeeper. He started with Altay Bayindir in the first Premier League game.
But the Turkish goalkeeper’s performance was far from satisfactory. That is why United have stepped up their pursuit of a new goalkeeper.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United are still pushing to sign Senne Lammens, and they are close to agreeing on personal terms with the Belgian goalkeeper.
As more European clubs are expected to make offers to Senne Lammens, Manchester United want to get this deal over the line as quickly as possible.
