Which Jersey Number Will Senne Lammens Choose at Manchester United?

Manchester United are pursuing another goalkeeper target, with the relatively obscure Senne Lammers emerging as a possible challenger to André Onana's position.

The acquisition of the Cameroonian keeper two seasons ago was widely praised following his impressive campaign with Inter, but Onana has simply failed to deliver the consistent excellence he was expected to provide.

Consequently, Ruben Amorim has opted for the even more questionable Altay Bayındır at the beginning of 2025–26, with Onana sidelined during preseason due to injury. Lammens's potential arrival suggests one of these goalkeepers will certainly leave Old Trafford within the coming week, with Bayındır more likely to exit.

Lammens is therefore anticipated to offer competition for the unreliable Onana and serve as cover when he leaves for the African Cup of Nations later this year.

Below are the Belgian's potential jersey number choices in Manchester.

Senne Lammens Shirt Number History

Lammens has worn the conventional No. 1 jersey only occasionally throughout his career, and never at professional level.

Rather, for Club Brugge and Royal Antwerp, the 23-year-old has unusually chosen No. 91. He sported No. 1 for Brugge's U19s during two UEFA Youth League seasons, having previously selected the No. 13 jersey.

International football presents more restrictive squad number regulations, where No. 91 simply cannot be used. Therefore, Lammens has received No. 12 when selected for the Belgian national squad. The goalkeeper alternated between No. 1 and 13 at youth international level.

Man Utd's Available Shirt Numbers

Should Bayındır depart before the summer transfer window closes, Man Utd's No. 1 jersey will become available for Lammens. Nevertheless, the Belgian goalkeeper's preference for No. 91 means the Red Devils might abandon the traditional number for 2025–26, with Onana continuing in No. 24.

Premier League regulations allow players to select any jersey number from 1 to 99, so Lammens could choose his distinctive number in Manchester.

The Nos. 12 and 13 that the 23-year-old has previously worn are currently occupied by Tyrell Malacia and Patrick Dorgu, respectively.
