Manchester United enter the final hours of the summer window with several transfers reportedly close to completion. The club has focused on improving the goalkeeping position and remains active elsewhere as the deadline approaches.<\/p>\n
A reported signing of Senne Lammens is expected to land on deadline day as United seek a solution after a difficult preseason for their keepers. Andr\u00e9 Onana missed most of preseason through injury while Altay Bay\u0131nd\u0131r and Tom Heaton featured in the Premier League Summer Series. Bay\u0131nd\u0131r started the first three Premier League matches this season and Onana made his season debut in the Carabao Cup second round. Another gaffe in that game has put Onana in the rear view for many fans. Ruben Amorim is not happy with what he\u2019s seen so far in his short time at Old Trafford, and the club hope Lammens will offer long-term competition for the number one spot.<\/p>\n
Jadon Sancho looks set for another loan away from Old Trafford, this time to Aston Villa. Sancho previously impressed early last season on loan under Enzo Maresca at Chelsea, though Chelsea chose to walk away from the deal despite having an obligation attached. The winger turned down a move to Roma and pushed back against a strong approach from Be\u015fikta\u015f. Under a potential loan to Villa Park, Sancho would reunite with Unai Emery and spend what could be his final contracted season away from United, with the club holding an option to extend his deal by a year.<\/p>\n
Antony appears set to leave permanently and rejoin Real Betis after a loan spell that revived his form. Betis are reported to pay \u20ac25 million (\u00a321.6 million, $29.2 million) with a 50% sell-on fee attached. Antony\u2019s move to United from Ajax was an initial \u20ac95 million with another \u20ac5 million in add-ons. The permanent transfer would follow emotional scenes after his loan, which suggested he wished to remain in Seville.<\/p>\n
Forward Rasmus H\u00f8jlund now looks likely to move on, with links to Napoli in Serie A. H\u00f8jlund reached double-digit Premier League goals (10) in his first campaign but struggled for consistency after managerial and personnel changes, including the signings of Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko and Joshua Zirkzee. Napoli and Serie A may offer a different environment, with Antonio Conte mentioned as the prospective manager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
