“Enough is enough, we need a more stable goalkeeper. His inconsistency has been overlooked for too long and it’s high time he is replaced by someone that has been consistent” – This is according to Sir Jim Ratcliffe as Andre Onana’s role as Manchester United’s first-choice goalkeeper is reportedly facing competition from a 22-year-old Belgian talent that is ready to join in the January Transfer window.

Andre Onana seems to have reached a tipping point at Manchester United, with repeated errors raising questions about his future as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper. Reports suggest the club is now exploring alternative options.

This season has been a challenging one for United, with Ruben Amorim struggling to turn things around and several players signed under Erik ten Hag failing to meet expectations. Among them is Onana, the £47.2 million acquisition from Inter Milan (via Sky Sports), whose performances have fallen short of the club’s standards.

The Cameroonian shot-stopper, once highly regarded during his time at Inter, has seen his reputation take a hit at Old Trafford. A recent blunder allowing a corner to directly find the net has compounded the scrutiny, especially following a similar mistake by backup keeper Altay Bayindir.

Speculation about Onana’s future has intensified, with reports linking him to potential moves to the Saudi Pro League. Meanwhile, United appears to be actively scouting for a replacement. According to The Times (subscription required), the club has identified Royal Antwerp’s 22-year-old Belgian goalkeeper, Senne Lammens, as a potential candidate.

Lammens has garnered praise for his impressive performances in the Jupiler Pro League, with Antwerp boasting one of the league’s better defensive records this season. If Altay Bayindir decides to seek opportunities elsewhere at the end of the campaign, it could pave the way for Lammens to join United and compete for the No.1 spot.

This move would significantly raise the stakes for Onana, who would face mounting pressure to deliver consistent performances. Should his struggles persist, Lammens might quickly establish himself as the club’s new first-choice goalkeeper.
