MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly agreed a deadline day deal to sign Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp.
The Belgian goalkeeper is flying into Manchester in order to complete the move before today’s 7pm deadline.

Lammens, 23, has been a top goalkeeping target for United as they look to bolster their options between the sticks.
The Athletic have claimed that they have finally agreed an £18million fee with Antwerp.
The report has added that United will not have a sell-on clause in his deal.
Lammens will put pen to paper on a five-year contract at Old Trafford.
He will be expected to compete for the No1 spot at United alongside Altay Bayındır and Andre Onana.
However, it could have an effect on the future of Emiliano Martinez.
The Aston Villa stopper was keen on a move to United but was only considered as a back-up option to Lammens.
This means the Argentine may be set to stay at Villa Park past this transfer window unless he can find another club.

The Villans had also been interested in Lammens as a replacement for Martinez.
United, meanwhile, are also set for a wave of outgoing players today.
Out-of-favour winger Jadon Sancho has agreed to go on a season-long loan deal to Villa.
Villa chiefs are set to pay 80 per cent of Sancho’s £250,000-per-week wages. Bonuses inserted in the deal could cover full wage coverage.
Sancho, who has been rotting in the United bomb squad this summer, is set to move to Villa Park to reignite his career.
The 25-year-old winger turned down a move to Italian side Roma earlier in the window.

The likes of Antony, Rasmus Hojlund and Tyrell Malacia are all expected to leave as well.
Hojllund is set to be annouced by Napoli on a loan with an obligation to buy.
United have also finally agreed a £21.5m deal with Real Betis for Antony.
The club will also be entitled to a 50 per cent sell on clause for the Brazilian winger.
