Manchester United officially announced that they signed a new Courtois 21 million yuan, and will compete with Onana in No. 91! The reason for buying him and giving up Martin is revealed

After three hours after the summer window was closed, Manchester United announced its last signing, and Belgian goalkeeper Senna Lamons officially joined. His transfer fee is 21 million euros (£18.1 million), plus floating terms. Lamens has signed for five years and is likely to wear the No. 91 jersey he is used to. Interestingly, Manchester United women's main goalkeeper Faron Talis Joyce also wore the No. 91 jersey.

"I'm very proud to be joining Manchester United, and it's a dream come true," said Lamens. "The past few years have been a wonderful journey and now it's ending with an incredible destination, and hopefully it's the beginning of a more special story. You can feel the positive atmosphere that is being created here, and I know I can really make an impact at the club in the next few years. I can't wait to meet new teammates and start working with Ruben (Amorin) and the coaching staff. It's the perfect place to continue to grow, grow with the exciting team and achieve my career goals."

After Ramens's trade was completed, United naturally ended their interest in Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez. The British Daily Mail said that one of the important factors in the final choice to introduce Ramons was because Sancho was unwilling to transfer to Villa permanently. Martin's weekly salary is as high as £200,000, so the club must sell Sancho to introduce him, but Sancho is only willing to rent it to Villa. Therefore, Manchester United chose Lamons, who had a weekly salary of only £20,000 and arranged for him to fly from Antwerp to Manchester immediately by private jet. This is also the reason why the official announcement was late. The Red Devil decided to go late, so he applied for special treatment and spent more time preparing documents and signing a contract with a physical examination.

Lamons became the most expensive goalkeeper in history than A, while Martin had to continue to wait. He could still transfer because the transfer window was still open for the Turkish Premier League and Galatasaray was still looking for a new goalkeeper. On the other hand, the media revealed that Lamons believed that he was ready and could become Manchester United's new No. 1 goalkeeper.

Manchester United's new season's Premier League and the League Cup have been hit by the same and old problems. Altay Baindill's turnover caused Manchester United to lose at least 3 points, while Andre Onana made the team beaten by the English League Two team in the Cup. Ruben Amorin did not publicly blame the two goalkeepers, he just asked to introduce a new goalkeeper right away. "We are at such a moment now, as long as the opponent is close to the penalty area, they can score." Amorin said helplessly.

Onana and Baindir had already started performing consecutive mistakes last season, and the 39-year-old third goalkeeper Tom Heaton has not participated in the Premier League in nearly four years. In the long run, he is naturally not the best replacement.

Manchester United had rumors with four goalkeepers in the summer window: Emiliano Martinez of Aston Villa, Donnarumma of Paris Saint-Germain, Diogo Costa of FC Porto and Sena Lamens of Real Antwerp. Finally, the 32-year-old Martin and 23-year-old Lamens became the final choice for the duo.

Martin was twice named the world's best goalkeeper for his performance in Argentina, especially his magical performance in saving penalty. He can always show his strength in top events, and Messi has to thank him for his help, and he undoubtedly has the potential to become the leader goalkeeper Manchester United needs.

Martin has been one of the best players in the Premier League in recent years in terms of shooting saves, passes and air superiority. Since Argentina's goalkeeper joined Villa from Arsenal in 2020, only Everton's England goal Jordan Pickford has made more saves (569) than Martin (530).

But judging from the naked eye, after experiencing the peak performance of the 2023/24 season, his performance declined last season, and the data also supports this. Its save rate of 67.9% is only 14th among England's top league goalkeepers, down from 74.4% in the 2022/23 season, when he won the Yasin Award that year.

Not only that, last season, only four goalkeepers conceded more goals than Martin's 45 goals. In the last round of the Premier League at Old Trafford, he attacked and knocked down Manchester United center Hoylund and was sent off by a red card. In the end, Villa lost to Manchester United 0-2 and missed the Champions League qualification. The subsequent standings show that Villa is enough to beat Newcastle United into the top five as long as they draw. Martin didn't have to foul Hoylund, who may not be able to score, and even if they are one goal behind, there is still a chance as long as the number of players is equal.

However, even with some degraded Martin, his advantages may still be enough to make up for Manchester United's biggest weakness. In the game against Arsenal, Baindir was suppressed by William Saliba in front of Manchester United's goalkeeper. Saliba did block the Red Devils goalkeeper with his hands, but his three fingers were enough to make the 27-year-old Turkish goalkeeper fail to hit the ball, reflecting Baindir's weakness.

On Saturday, Baindir faced Lum Chauna's front shot in the 66th minute, and threw the ball directly to Jaden Anthony in front of him. The latter made a follow-up shot, which once turned the score into a tie. Fortunately, Anthony "reciting" in stoppage time, and gave Manchester United a winning penalty for a foul.

Onana is unwilling to attack and get a cross, which has always been a problem for him, so Manchester United's summer windows are goalkeepers with absolute advantages and threats in the air. In this stage, Martin may be the best candidate. In the 2024/25 season, no other goalkeeper in the Premier League had more interceptions than him.

But Big Martin also has problems, age, transfer fees and high salary are all models that Sir Jim Ratcliff's Inez doesn't like now. Rather than targeting a star goalkeeper, it is better to sign a new star, which may be more in line with La Jue's ideas. With this in mind, Ramens is the best choice again. Another reason why Manchester United finally chose Lamons is his youth and bright future, and he is considered to be the young version of Courtois, or Martin Big.

Manchester United has been negotiating with Antwerp club in the past two weeks, and both sides believe that personal terms are not a problem. Lamens was compared with fellow Belgian Courtois and was considered one of the best goalkeepers outside the top five European leagues.

Similar to Martinez, Lamens can make a huge contribution to cross processing. His cross data is almost the same as Villa goalkeeper, surpassing Premier League goalkeepers such as Onana, Alisson, Ederson, Jordan Pickford and Jordan Henderson.

Lamens is good at savings, and his average saves per game exceeds Martin and Donnarumma, with a save success rate of 81.4%. The Belgian genius performed well in many aspects, including the same penalty kick skills as Donnarumma and Martin. He has saved five penalty kicks since the start of last season, more than any other goalkeeper in the Big Ten European League in the same period saved 12 yards.
