Lammens Impresses on Premier League Debut as Man United Beat Sunderland 2-0

Reports suggest United could pursue a first-choice goalkeeper in January despite the Belgian's clean-sheet debut.

Overview

  • Ruben Amorim handed summer signing Senne Lammens his first league start, replacing Altay Bayindir, and the 23-year-old kept a clean sheet at Old Trafford.
  • Wayne Rooney praised Lammens for simplifying his play, taking fewer touches, and moving the ball forward quickly to suit United's attack.
  • Amorim tweaked the setup to use two forwards, a change Rooney said worked early, with Benjamin Sesko scoring for the second straight Premier League game as Mason Mount also found the net.
  • Troy Deeney lauded the debut, saying he had never seen a goalkeeper receive a standing ovation for claiming a cross and highlighting Lammens' presence and kicking.
  • Football Insider reports the club may target an experienced No. 1 in the January window, framing Lammens as a longer-term project despite the promising outing.
