Lammens Defied Brother’s Warning to Join Man United After Deadline-Day Switch

Early sessions drew praise from teammates despite questions about his readiness.

Overview

  • Manchester United signed Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp on deadline day for about £18.1–£18.2 million (€21m).
  • Older brother Tom Lammens said he tried to steer him toward Galatasaray and was initially skeptical about United due to the pressure on young players.
  • Altay Bayındır started the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City with Lammens on the bench, following André Onana’s loan move to Trabzonspor.
  • Tom Heaton highlighted the 23-year-old’s calm personality and strong fundamentals in training, while Luke Shaw said he has looked sharp.
  • Wayne Rooney questioned whether the signing was a panic buy and whether Lammens is ready to start, with the goalkeeping selection for upcoming matches yet to be determined.
