Altay Bayindir deputized in goal and made a costly error.<\/p><p>That error led to the only goal of the match, costing Man United important points. Onana&rsquo;s shaky display in the Carabao Cup against Grimsby Town further intensified scrutiny over United&rsquo;s goalkeeping department. 23-year-old Lammens emerged as a solution at that moment.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680;&#128308; BREAKING: Manchester United agree &euro;21m plus add-ons deal with Royal Antwerp for Senne Lammens, here we go!<br><br>Agreement in place for Belgian GK to join <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MUFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#MUFC<\/a> immediately, deal set to be sealed after medical.<br><br>Deal also included add-ons, as <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/David_Ornstein?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@David_Ornstein<\/a> reports. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dLCbHqU4sp\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/dLCbHqU4sp<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1962469272388517891?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>September 1, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>United viewed him as a long-term investment and someone who could also provide immediate relief and competition for Onana and Bayindir.
