Rio Ferdinand Backs Senne Lammens as Man United’s No. 1 for the Next Decade After Boxing Day Shutout

The 23-year-old summer signing from Royal Antwerp has rapidly secured the starting role under Ruben Amorim.

Overview

  • Ferdinand said on a live YouTube stream that Lammens will be Manchester United’s goalkeeper for the next ten years, calling him “as solid as a rock.”
  • Lammens kept a clean sheet in United’s 1-0 win over Newcastle on Boxing Day at Old Trafford, with Patrick Dorgu scoring in the 24th minute.
  • The goalkeeper’s late claims under pressure were highlighted as key moments that eased the load on United’s defence.
  • Signed for a reported €21m from Royal Antwerp after just 52 senior games in Belgium, Lammens has already established himself as first choice.
  • United moved up to fifth in the Premier League with the victory and next host Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday.
