A Belgium international with nine senior caps for the Red Devils, Sels built his reputation in his homeland with KAA Gent, where he won the Belgian title, reached the Champions League and was named the country’s best goalkeeper in 2015. After a spell with Newcastle United, he established himself at Strasbourg, lifting the Coupe de la Ligue in 2019 and earning the Ligue 1 Goalkeeper of the Season award for 2021-22.
