Coach Amorim once opposed buying Lammens

Lammens brings MU many positive signals.

That is revealed by The Athletic . During the months of the 2025 summer transfer window, coach Amorim asked the team's board to buy Martínez, who was also looking forward to moving to Manchester United.

In theory, Martinez is the safer choice: World Cup winner, Premier League experience, strong enough personality to handle the pressure.

Meanwhile, Lammens is only 23 years old, has only 93 professional matches, including 52 matches in the Belgian National Championship, 1 appearance in the Champions League (lost 0-2 to Porto, November 2023) and has not had any official matches for the Belgian national team.

Obviously, the difference in experience is huge. Coach Amorim is therefore not interested in the Belgian goalkeeper, and has even been frustrated many times because the MU scouting team decided to buy this player.

However, former Manchester United goalkeeper scout Tony Coton persisted for a year in persuading technical director Jason Wilcox to back Lammens.

So far, the £18.1 million signing has proven to be a smart move for United, with Martínez making several errors that have led directly to Aston Villa's goals.

Meanwhile, Lammens has proven his talent and is worthy of being the future goalkeeper of Manchester United. In the highlight match of the 11th round of the Premier League between Tottenham and MU, Lammens made a top save despite his vision being completely obscured.

Although Lammens still conceded two goals from Tottenham's difficult shots, the 1 point earned for MU in the 2-2 draw away from home was largely due to this goalkeeper.
