Onana has been a disappointment at MU. |
In his two seasons with MU, Onana struggled right from the start. Despite a victory on his Premier League debut, a series of disappointing results quickly followed.
Statistics show that Onana lost 9 of his first 21 matches in all competitions, including several defeats in the Champions League. In the continent's top competition, Onana frequently made mistakes that led to Manchester United's early exit.
The shocking League Cup defeat against Grimsby Town was seen as a turning point, forcing the "Red Devils" management to make the decision to change goalkeepers. Shortly after, Onana was loaned to Trabzonspor and the possibility of him being sold permanently in the summer of 2026 is very high.
In contrast to Onana, Lammens' start at Old Trafford has been very promising. In his first 21 starts, the Belgian goalkeeper only suffered 3 defeats, against Everton, Aston Villa, and Brighton. This means that MU's losing rate has decreased by approximately 66% compared to Onana's early days.
Notably, Lammens achieved this feat amidst significant changes on the coaching staff, having worked with Ruben Amorim, Darren Fletcher, and Michael Carrick. Meanwhile, Onana enjoyed a more stable environment playing under Erik ten Hag, who previously managed him at Ajax.

Lammens made his mark at MU. |
If we consider only the Premier League, the difference is even clearer. Lammens lost only 2 of his first 20 games, while Onana lost 8 in the same period. The Belgian goalkeeper's reliability and consistency provide a sense of security for the defense, something the team has lacked since David de Gea's departure in 2023.
Lammens' impressive form was further recognized when Sports Illustrated ranked him 8th in their list of the 10 best goalkeepers in the world today. Thibaut Courtois topped the list, followed by Gianluigi Donnarumma, Joan Garcia, David Raya, Alisson Becker, Mike Maignan, and Mile Svilar.
Although there is still a long way to go, what Lammens has shown suggests that MU may have found a solution for the goalkeeping position.
