Lammens Reclaims Form With Commanding Belgium Display
A strong 2-1 outing in Türkiye gives the Manchester United goalkeeper a confidence boost that could matter when he returns to club duty under a likely Mauricio Pochettino.
Overview
- Lammens, who started in goal on Friday, made six crucial saves and claimed three high balls as Belgium beat Türkiye 2-1.
- Belgium coach Mark van Bommel kept faith with Lammens despite social media pressure to replace him with Chelsea’s Mike Penders.
- Belgian outlets praised the performance and Nieuwsblad credited Lammens with a long ball that helped set up the winning goal.
- The display arrives after a difficult run at Manchester United, including an erratic showing in a 4-4 draw with Aston Villa and no clean sheet so far this season, and follows Michael Carrick’s departure from the club.
- Lammens said the break came at the ideal moment for him and will need to translate this form back to Old Trafford to impress the new coach and regain supporters’ trust.
