'Serious target': Inter 'set for talks' to sign 23yo Man Utd transfer target

Manchester United could still add two more players to their squad before the conclusion of this summer transfer window.

A new midfielder and a goalkeeper are on their transfer wishlist.

Antwerp starlet Senne Lammens is “high on list of options” for Man United.

According to journalist Mike McGrath, Inter Milan see Lammens as a “serious target” and are “set for talks” with the Belgian side.

The 23-year-old is appreciated by figures at United but the club will make a move only in the event of the departure of Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir.

United may need to speed up their pursuit

Onana and Bayindir have failed to instil confidence at the back over the last two seasons.

The goalkeeping department of the Red Devils was considered very stable when David de Gea was between the sticks.

Sergio Romero or Dean Henderson were reliable back-ups to the Spaniard.

The Red Devils replaced De Gea with Onana in 2023 but the Cameroon international has made several high-profile errors.

His confidence seems to be at rock bottom and an upgrade is certainly required.

United may take a cautious approach after spending around £200 million this summer.

Valued at £17m, Lammens is a modern shot-stopper available at a bargain price.

He made 4.3 saves per league game on average last term, while Onana managed just 2.6 saves per outing.

Shining at the Theatre of Dreams requires not only talent but also character and determination.

United will conduct their due diligence on Lammens before signing the young star.

However, they must move quickly to secure his signature as Inter are already planning to enter club-to-club talks.
