Approach made: Man Utd and INEOS now in late contact to sign £45m “machine” similar to McTominay

Manchester United is attempting to sign a £45 million “machine” who resembles Scott McTominay, a former Red Devils midfielder, on deadline day.

Senne Lammens, the goalkeeper for Royal Antwerp, has now agreed to join Manchester United, thus Ruben Amorim is expected to welcome at least one new addition on deadline day.

After Altay Bayındir and Andre Onana had a rocky start to the season, United will spend a total of €21 million (£18.2 million) to recruit Lammens.

Man Utd’s summer spending will reach over £220 million if Lammens’ signing is finalized. Most of that money has been spent on forwards, and it appears that INEOS is considering a late loan move for a midfield target.

Man Utd incomings From Fee
Bryan Mbeumo Brentford £71m
Benjamin Sesko RB Leipzig £66.4m
Matheus Cunha Wolves £62.5m
Senne Lammens Royal Antwerp £18.2m
Diego Leon Cerro Porteno £7m

Man Utd in contact to sign £45m Conor Gallagher

Man Utd has reportedly contacted the representatives of Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher, according to sources originating from Spain on the day of the deadline.

Gallagher was signed by Chelsea in 2024 and has a contract that expires in 2029, but the Red Devils have reached out to inquire about the potential of a loan.

Although Manchester United would like a simple loan agreement, the La Liga powerhouses want to incorporate a £45 million buyout clause in a short-term contract.

Gallagher, dubbed a “machine” has certainly made an impression under Diego Simeone, with the Atletico Madrid boss praising the Englishman earlier this year.

“When we think of him we think of his youth, energy and intensity in the game. He also strikes the ball very well. It’s never easy for players coming from England to adapt to the Spanish championship, to the language. He has competed very well in different places and in positions where he doesn’t feel more comfortable.

“He will evolve, he has room for growth. He is very intense in offensive and defensive play, he brings a lot to us.”

As can be seen, Gallagher has been likened to former United midfielder McTominay, who has starred for Napoli after leaving Old Trafford.

A move could be one to watch, but INEOS need to act fast and potentially accept Atletico Madrid’s demands.
