Senne Lammens misses the match against Antwerp due to the transfer to Manchester United

• Lammens is missing the match due to a potential transfer to United.
• Manchester United's coach wants to strengthen the team with goalkeepers.
• Onana remains the main choice, but is under pressure due to competition.

Senne Lammens will not play for Royal Antwerp in the match against Mechelen due to a planned transfer to Manchester United. The transfer is valued at €20 million.

The 23-year-old goalkeeper has been excluded from the squad for the game, which will take place on August 24 at 12:30 local time. It is expected that Lammens' transfer to United will be finalized soon.

Coach Ruben Amorim sees Lammens as a competitor for Andre Onana, who is currently the starting goalkeeper. Onana is expected to miss the first match of the season due to injury, and his place on the field will depend on whether he can return to optimal form.

Lammens, who debuted in professional football in 2021, has experience playing for the Belgium youth national team. His potential transfer to Manchester United could also impact Onana's position, who, according to reports, may be under pressure due to new competition.

Currently, Lammens is missing the game for Antwerp, but his involvement in the Manchester United squad could secure him a similar income level as that of his potential competitor.
