Man United beat transfer deadline to sign goalkeeper Senne Lammens

The fee between the two clubs for the 23-year-old is 18.2m pounds plus an additional 4m in add-ons with no sell-on clause included.

Lammens has already played 64 games for Royal Antwerp and helped them win the Belgian Super Cup in 2023 and also kept the most clean sheets in the Belgian Pro League last season.

He earned his maiden call-up to the senior Belgium national squad in March.

Lammens said: "I am extremely proud to be joining Manchester United; it is a real dream come true. The past few years have been an amazing journey; it's now ended in an incredible destination and hopefully the beginning of something special.

"You can feel the positive atmosphere that is being created here, and I know that I can make a real impact at the club in the coming years. I cannot wait to get to know my team-mates and begin working with Ruben and the coaching staff.

"This is the perfect place to keep developing, grow together with this exciting team and achieve my career objectives."

United's director of football Jason Wilcox added: "Senne is an excellent young goalkeeper with great potential; we are delighted that he has chosen to join Manchester United after significant interest from a number of clubs."
