Lammens to miss Pro League game against Mechelen

Belgian goalkeeper expected to join United for £17m

Senne Lammens is set to miss Royal Antwerp’s match against Mechelen on Sunday due to his €20m (£17m) proposed transfer to Manchester United.

The current plan is that the 23-year-old goalkeeper has been stood down from the 12.30pm (11.30am BST) Pro League fixture, with United expecting his move to become official imminently.

Ruben Amorim wants to sign Lammens as competition to André Onana, who has been United’s No 1 but has come under scrutiny. While the Cameroonian is believed to have travelled to west London for Sunday afternoon’s Premier League game at Fulham, his starting place is in the balance.
