Manchester United targets Bart Verbruggen as Lammens struggles in goal

Summary

Manchester United is considering a move for Brighton & Hove Albion goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen due to Senne Lammens' recent poor performances. Lammens had a disappointing display against Aston Villa, contributing to three goals. United's underwhelming season has prompted a reassessment of their goalkeeping options, with Verbruggen emerging as a potential target. The 24-year-old has kept 12 clean sheets this season and has attracted interest from other top clubs, including Liverpool and Real Madrid. United plans to overhaul their backline this summer, which may include upgrading the goalkeeper position.
