The goalkeeper situation could soon become a hot topic again at Manchester United. Currently on loan at Trabzonspor, André Onana has not given up on his future with the Red Devils. According to The Guardian, the Cameroonian shot-stopper is considering a return to Old Trafford once his loan spell ends, with a clear ambition to fight for the number one jersey.

The challenge, however, promises to be tough. Since the arrival of Belgian keeper Senne Lammens, signed from Royal Antwerp FC, the pecking order seems to have shifted. The young goalkeeper's solid performances have impressed the United staff, starting with head coach Michael Carrick.

"For me, a goalkeeper has to be reliable, trustworthy. Instead of creating chaos, you want him to eliminate chaos and calm things down. I think Senne does that."

The Belgian keeper’s displays have also caught the eye of opponents. After a recent clash against Everton FC, David Moyes was full of praise:

"The goalkeeper was brilliant. The save he made from Michael Keane, the way he handled the corners. We hoped to score one... just one, given the pressure we had in those situations. I thought we'd get one, but it didn't happen. For me, he was the best player on the pitch."

All signs point to a fierce battle for the United goalkeeping spot next season.
