Senne Lammens transfer: Why Man Utd signed Belgian and not Emiliano Martinez

Manchester United’s 23 -year -old goalkeeper Senne Lamkens has a strong sense of ‘project 150’ around the decision to pay £ 18.1 million.

The plan to target the Premier League championship in 2028, the 150th anniversary of the club, which started as Newton Heath and returned as Manchester United, was given to the staff in September 2024 by CEO Omar Berrada.

In an interview with Saygın United We Fanzine, he doubled in June this year: “Why don’t you target that?”

The strategy for building a better future was behind the decision taken less than 12 hours before the transfer window was closed.

United told Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa to M6 to preside the M6 ​​to complete the movement he hoped to take place since last season, and told Manchester to fly to Manchester.

Sources say the dilemma is simple.

First, a significant development is required this season after the collapse of the United 2024-25. However, ‘150 projects’ Berrada and the club ownership is trying to achieve a bigger plan.

He respects United Martinez. They acknowledge that Argentina International has been proved in the Premier League.

He played at the highest levels of the game and won the World Cup. Nevertheless, it is not error -free in any way, and last season (6) made more mistakes than Andre Onana (4) from United.

However, even Martinez, Chief Coach Ruben Amorim says: “It is difficult to be a Manchester United goalkeeper at this time.”

Lammens is at the other end of the experience scale. 6FT 4in is the case and only 52 of them have 93 matches in the Belgian Pro League.

His only trip in the Champions League came in November 2023 by Royal Antwerp’s 2-0 defeat by Porto. He was first elected to the Belgian senior staff in March and has not yet gained a complete limit.

However, United’s data analysis, minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe’nin is determined to develop significantly, pointing to someone more closely pointed out.

Club resources, alleged crosses, shot stops, prevention of targets from rebounds and errors, or the lack of key metrics, Lamgens’in extraordinary high rates, he says.

They also say that Lamkens savings more than other goalkeepers in Europe’s top 10 leagues, and the most ‘progressive’ transition for any goalkeeper under 23 years of age.

Confiring the arrival in a statement, football director Jason Wilcox, Lamkens “a series of clubs from a series of important interest” is the subject, he said.

Most importantly, when United Berrara reaches the ‘Project 150’ point, Lammens will be 26 and will enter the prime. Martinez will be 35.

Another Aston Villa player Ollie Watkins and Benjamin Sesko can be said to have faced a similar dilemma. They went to Sesko.

Open Difference United, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo’da two ‘Oven Ready’ Premier League players signed Premier League players.

When the rush of the agreements brought together for the last few days of the window began to be shaped and in the previous games, Altay is Bayindir, and after evaluating the mistakes made by Andre Onana, they decided to add more to the goalkeeping cadres at the expense of strengthening their midfields.

Lamkens was not a new name on United’s radar. They were first connected to him last season and talked to Royal Antwerp in the summer.

The Belgians were eager to take action from that point. In the middle of last week, the negotiations between the clubs started again and the agreement was activated on Monday morning.

United knows that a risk is added.

While United can still evacuate Onana or Bayindir – Clubs in the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Greece, Turkey and Saudi Arabia can still sign players between others – the details that will be the first preferred goalkeeper of Amorim are unknown.

In addition to the data, Lamgens has strong suggestions.

Thibaut Courtois, one of Belgium’s largest guards, evaluates it at a high rate. Simon Mignolet, a former teammate in Club Brugge.

“The shot is the biggest quality,” he says, “the firing is the biggest quality.”

“He made some great savings and even has great reflexes.

“Very proactive and likes to come for the ball. He has great feet and his passage is a really big weapon for any team who wants to put some tempo in the game.”

Sesko was implemented in Old Trafford and continued with a 90 -minute trip in Grimsby in the EFL Cup, which left the Premier League with severe cramps in the Premier League.

My amor can not do the same with Lamkens. Because of this shock defeat in Blundell Park, United will not play a cup match until January.

The next matches are at Manchester City on September 14th. Can I come to mind, can he go out to such an inexperienced person in such a big game?
