Lammens made his mark on his debut for MU. |
Coach Ruben Amorim attracted attention when giving Lammens the starting position in the match against Sunderland at Old Trafford. This was the Belgian goalkeeper's debut since joining MU on the last day of the summer transfer window in 2025 for a fee of 18.2 million pounds.
The decision to bench Altay Bayındır was briefly explained by Amorim: "We have to rotate the squad. Everyone has to be ready. Each opponent requires different players to win."
On the pitch, Lammens quickly showed why he was chosen. The 22-year-old goalkeeper kept his cool in goal, handled the ball with confidence, and distributed long balls accurately to Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo, helping MU escape pressing many times.
In the 90 minutes against Sunderland, Lammens made 3 saves, 1 successful clearance, 2 accurate catches and 1 clearance. He was rated 7.8 points by Sofa Score and was named Player of the Match.
The reaction on social media from MU fans was generally positive. Many praised Lammens for his "reasonable entry and exit", "control of the 5.50m area", "calm stance, effective long passes", thereby bringing certainty to the defensive system that has been under a lot of pressure since the beginning of the season.
The Red Devils won 2-0 thanks to goals from Mason Mount and Sesko. The result somewhat relieved the pressure on coach Amorim after a difficult start, and also opened up an interesting competition for the goalkeeping position when Lammens immediately scored in his first start.
