Senne Lammens: United’s stance on Belgian ace’s future revealed

That already looks like a fantastic investment, with the Belgian settling in quickly at the Theatre of Dreams. Lammens has started every game since his debut against Sunderland in October last year, impressing with his calmness and exceptional shot-stopping skills.

Where the goalkeeping position was once United’s bane and regularly in the news for the wrong reasons, the 23 year old has overseen a complete turnaround. The 6’4” custodian has also been a commanding presence during set pieces, which was once the team’s Achilles’ heel.

Which is why a recent report from AS naming Lammens among 13 players United are planning to offload this summer raised quite a few eyebrows. Journalist Graeme Bailey has now provided a clarification on the matter.

Lammens the new No. 1

Speaking to TEAMtalk, Bailey rubbished the report from Spain, insisting that the Belgian remains the No. 1 at Old Trafford. He said: “We know Matheus Cunha and Kobbie Mainoo have hogged the headlines, especially since Michael Carrick took charge, and rightly so.”

“But I can confirm that the club are delighted with Senne Lammens and that signing. Let’s not forget the goalkeeping department was a huge worry but he has come in and settled brilliantly, they love him.”

“United fully believe they have smashed this one out of the park. There will be a lot of goalkeeper moves at United this summer but that will be Onana and Bayindir leaving. Lammens is entrenched as United’s number one.”

Final Thoughts

Lammens has quietly solved United’s goalkeeping conundrum and the position now appears secured for the next decade. “Baby Courtois” is also expected to get better with age and experience, so the Red Devils have certainly struck gold with this transfer.
