Gary Neville has revealed whether new signing Senne Lammens will be installed as Manchester United's No.1 following his transfer from Royal Antwerp. The highly-rated Belgian goalkeeper moved to Old Trafford in an £18 million ($24m) deal on deadline day.

Manchester United's new goalkeeper Senne Lammens has opened up on his decision to join the Red Devils, revealing how the "aura of the club" swayed him amid late Aston Villa interest.

Manchester United have unveiled Senne Lammens as their newest recruit in a deal worth up to £21.7 million ($29m), but reports have revealed that Leeds and Sunderland had backed away from him over concerns of his suitability in the Premier League. United could have opted for proven Premier League quality in Aston Villa’s World Cup-winning Emi Martinez, yet the Old Trafford hierarchy instead banked on the promise of a 23-year-old.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has revealed that Real Madrid No.1 Thibaut Courtois sent him a voice note giving his verdict on Senne Lammens. Courtois believes that his Belgium understudy will be a good fit for the Premier League after the goalkeeper's £18 million ($24m) move to Manchester United from Royal Antwerp.

Emi Martinez spent transfer deadline day waiting on a call from Manchester United that never came, with the Red Devils signing Senne Lammens instead.
