Senne Lammens Tipped to Become Manchester United’s Long-Term Number One

Manchester United’s new signing Senne Lammens is expected to stay at Old Trafford for many years. His former manager praised him a lot. The Belgian goalkeeper recently moved from Royal Antwerp. He’s seen as one of the best young players in European football.

WHAT WAS SAID?

Rúben Amorim, who worked with Lammens, said: “Senne Lammens can be Man United goalkeeper for many, many years.” The 23-year-old signed a five-year contract at United after a €21 million transfer. The club needed new talent as André Onana or Altay Bayindir were leaving before the transfer deadline. Lammens turned down Aston Villa, calling United his “dream move.” He said playing at Old Trafford was his ambition since childhood.

MAN UNITED’S SITUATION AND LAMMENS’ POTENTIAL

Manchester United finished last season in 15th position in the Premier League, missing the Champions League after a tough campaign. United’s goalkeeping department faced challenges, with Onana’s form questioned and veteran Tom Heaton as backup. Lammens brings strong skills from Royal Antwerp, where he was the main choice and earned praise for his quick reactions, passing, and calmness. He played over 30 league matches last season, keeping 12 clean sheets. Fans and coaches hope his arrival will stabilize the defense.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR LAMMENS AND UNITED?

Lammens is expected to compete for the starting role, aiming for matches. United’s next game is against Manchester City, who finished 3rd last season. United are currently sitting 8th in the Premier League, one point ahead of City. The upcoming games are crucial as United aims to climb into the Champions League places. If Lammens impresses in training, he could debut soon and begin the journey Amorim predicts—becoming the club’s main goalkeeper for years to come.
