IS THIS ONE FOR KEEPS?

Lammens has massive potential but is not in same bracket as Villa's Martinez

- By David McDonnell

ONLY Manchester United could close what had been a successful transfer window with a signing that poses more questions than it answers.

Having recruited proven Premier League attackers in Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, and a promising young striker in Benjamin Sesko, United could consider the window a triumph.

They also managed to offload most of Ruben Amorim’s exiled “bomb squad”.

But their £18.2million deadline-day signing of young Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp has served to add to United’s problems between the posts rather than providing a solution.

Having chosen to sign 23-year-old Lammens rather than 33-year-old World Cup winner Emi Martinez from Aston Villa, United have added a fourth goalkeeper without having an established No.1.

They take on local rivals Manchester City at the Etihad a week on Sunday in the first derby of the new season with uncertainty over who will go in goal.
