Manchester United’s poor begin to the season was partly right down to the horrendous shows in objective from Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir.
The Turkish star has began six out of seven Premier League video games to date, and has recorded the worst save percentage amongst keepers within the English top-flight.
And the Cameroonian single-handedly ensured the Pink Devils exited the Carabao Cup within the second spherical after a humiliating defeat to Grimsby City.
He was subsequently shipped off to Trabzonspor on mortgage with the Turkish facet keen on a permanent deal. INEOS received’t thoughts one bit.
Goalkeeper conundrum
They recruited Senne Lammens on deadline day, regardless of Ruben Amorim pushing for a extra skilled face in Emiliano Martinez of Aston Villa.
The deal to deliver the World Cup winner to Previous Trafford collapsed thanks to Jadon Sancho, and the Belgian needed to bide his time earlier than receiving his first begin for his new membership.
It lastly got here on Saturday in opposition to high-flying Sunderland, and the previous Royal Antwerp star confirmed why he was among the many most highly-rated goalies in Europe final season.
From brilliant saves to wonderful command of his space, the 23-year-old confirmed what the 20-time English league champions have been lacking not too long ago and he was warmly applauded by the Previous Trafford devoted.
And Amorim is so impressed that he feels the membership have signed the “subsequent Thibaut Courtois”. Excessive reward certainly, with the shot-stopper set for an extended run out within the video games to return.
Senne Lammens has solved a significant headache
“Ruben Amorim is hoping Senne Lammens will develop into Manchester United’s reply to Thibaut Courtois. And that objective was made extra reasonable by the truth that his younger keeper already receives common pep talks from the Actual Madrid veteran.
“He sees the 23-year-old Belgian as a future pillar of the United defence.
“Membership sources say the Portuguese supervisor views Lammens as Courtois 2.0 together with his mix of aerial talent, energy mixed with sturdy ball-playing capacity.”
The truth that Courtois and Senne Lammens share a terrific bond can be music to Amorim’s ears. Hopefully, the United goalkeeper can imbibe a factor or two from the Actual Madrid famous person and proceed to impress on the Theatre of Desires.
