Here is the latest update from the ongoing FIFA World Cup as of 2026-07-30 17:44:00.
Senne Lammens has decided to cut his holiday short to rejoin training with Manchester United ahead of the new season, according to sources reported by ESPN. Originally scheduled to return to Carrington on Monday, the goalkeeper opted to arrive four days early on Thursday.
The 24-year-old is eager to get back to club football following his participation in the FIFA World Cup 2026 and aims to build on a successful first season at Old Trafford. He received an extended break after being part of the Belgium squad this summer.
During the tournament, Lammens made a late appearance as a substitute for Thibaut Courtois in the quarterfinals against Spain, where a mistake led to Mikel Merino’s decisive goal in Belgium’s exit from the competition.
Sources indicate that Lammens requested to return early to ensure he is prepared for the Premier League opener against newly-promoted Hull City on August 22. Last season, he was recognized as the Premier League’s best transfer after moving from Royal Antwerp.
In addition, summer signing Youri Tielemans also reported to Carrington on Thursday. His return was pre-agreed after his £35 million move from Aston Villa following the World Cup.
Manchester United will next take the field against Atlético Madrid in Solna, Sweden, on Saturday, followed by additional summer friendlies against clubs like Paris Saint-Germain, Leeds United, and AC Milan.
