Manchester United "reached a comprehensive agreement" to finalize the fifth signing of the summer window, and the new goalkeeper is in place, but not Martin

According to David Ornstein, a reporter from The Athletic, before the transfer deadline, Manchester United had reached a "comprehensive agreement" on signing Real Antwerp goalkeeper Monte Lamans.

The Red Devils are looking for a new goalkeeper all summer due to Andre Onana's poor performance in the 2024/25 season.

Altai Baindir has surpassed Onana to become the team's first choice - Ruben Amorin arranged for the Turkish national goal to start in the first three Premier League games of this season.

Onana only made a appearance in the British League Cup loss to Grimsby Town, and the Cameroonian goalkeeper made two serious mistakes, resulting in Manchester United being eliminated by the English League Two team through penalty kicks.

Earlier Monday, the Red Devils were more inclined to bring in Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez than Lamans.

Transfer expert Fabricio Romano wrote on X platform (formerly Twitter) on Monday morning: "Manchester United has reached an agreement with Emiliano Martinez on personal terms and has contacted Aston Villa! As exclusively disclosed this morning, if the Lamans deal fails, Martinez will become a real choice for Manchester United again, and the negotiations are currently being advanced."

Then he added: "Emy Martinez has informed Aston Villa that he hopes to join Manchester United. After the game, he made a clear statement again and has reached an agreement with Manchester United on personal terms. The negotiations about Sancho are also continuing. Manchester United is still advancing negotiations with Lamans... If Dib leaves the team, Lamans is also one of Villa's goals."

But now "The Athletic reporter Ornstein revealed that Manchester United has "reached a comprehensive agreement" to sign Lamans from Real Antwerp.

Ornstein added: "The two clubs have agreed on the transfer fee of 21 million euros (about £18.2 million) plus additional terms, and the agreement does not include the second transfer share clause.

" Lamans, 23, has rushed to Manchester and he has agreed to the personal terms of a five-year contract, and the parties are working hard to ensure that the transaction is completed by the deadline of 7pm UK time on Monday. ”

Aston Villa goalkeeper Martinez may be forced to stay in Villa Park now, but Romano revealed that Galatasaray is one of his potential next homes and is currently "exploring solutions." After the news from
