The fifth pick in the summer window! Manchester United strengthens the weakest link and wins the save king of all Europe by buzzer

After Manchester United won their first season, Ruben Amorin once again ushered in something to celebrate. Before the summer window closed, Manchester United signed the 23-year-old Belgian goalkeeper and European saver Lamang last season for a transfer fee of 21 million euros. He is also the fifth new player that Manchester United has introduced this summer. The team has previously introduced Cunya, Mbeumo, Seshko, and pliers Diego Leon. With the addition of LaMart, Manchester United's weakest goalkeeper position is expected to be resolved. In the new season, Manchester United's start is still difficult. The team played 4 games and only won 1 game, and was eliminated by the League Two. Looking at Manchester United's lineup configuration, goalkeepers have become the team's biggest hidden danger. Whether it is Baindill or Onana, their performance cannot satisfy Manchester United fans.

Amorin himself also complained about Manchester United's goalkeeper performance. He sighed when talking about the team's dilemma in the first few weeks of the new season: "Our situation is that as long as the ball is near our penalty area, the opponent can score."

First round against Arsenal, Baindir failed to hit the ball cleanly when he made a corner kick, causing the team to concede the ball and eventually lose. In the Midweek League Cup, Onana failed to hit the opponent's corner kick far, and the opponent scored the second goal, and the Red Devils lost to the fourth-level English League Two team for the first time. Facing Burnley in this round, Baindir returned to the starting lineup, but he lost his hand when saving Chaune's shot in the second half. The ball rolled to Jayden Anthony's feet. After two refractions, the score became 2-2. Manchester United's goalkeeper position is already very obvious, and the team will have to buy a new goalkeeper before the summer window is closed. In the transfer market, Manchester United also has many goals, including the 23-year-old Laman and the 32-year-old Martin. In the end, Manchester United chose the young and potential LaMant and paid Antwerp a transfer fee of 21 million euros, signing a five-year long contract with the player. The reason why

Lamour was able to enter Manchester United's signing field is because he ranks among the top in a technical statistics. Lamans started 44 games in Antwerp in 2024-25, helping the team to win the fifth place in the league. According to statistics, LaMant has made a total of 173 saves, more than 20 more than any other goalkeeper in the top ten European leagues last season. He is really "busy" and is the saver in Europe.

And after joining Manchester United, LaMantel will compete with Baindill for Manchester United's starting goalkeeper position. According to the Daily Mail, Onana will not leave the team because of LaManto's joining. Manchester United will retain four goalkeepers in the new season, namely Laman, Baindir, Onana and 39-year-old Heaton.
