MANCHESTER UNITED are closing in on a deal to sign Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens.
Personal terms have almost been agreed with the Belgian keeper while the clubs continue to work towards a deal, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

The 23-year-old stopper has made almost 65 appearances for the Belgian outfit.
He is also a Belgian youth international and was called up to the senior team for two matches in March, remaining an unused substitute in both.
Man Utd have been extensively linked with new goalkeepers this window.
Andre Onana missed the Red Devils’ season opener against Arsenal as he returns from a long spell on the sidelines through injury.
Backup Altay Bayindir took his place and committed a howler when he punched an incoming corner delivery towards his own net.
Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori saved him the embarrassment of an own goal as he nodded the ball over the line at the back post.
The moment reiterated the importance of signing a goalkeeper in the late stages of the window.
Club legend and pundit Gary Neville commented that finding a replacement in the position was imperative for the north-west giants.

One option the former full-back championed was Paris Saint-Germain’s Gianluigi Donnarumma, who also remains a target for rivals Manchester City.
It is unclear as yet where Lammens would slot into Utd’s depth options between Onana, Bayindir and third-choice veteran Tom Heaton.
