Schmeichel Says Man United Chose Wrong Keeper as Lammens Waits for Debut

Veteran voices question the £18m deadline-day bet on a 23-year-old with little top‑level experience.

Overview

  • Peter Schmeichel urged United to have signed Emiliano Martinez or Gianluigi Donnarumma and said he had never heard of Senne Lammens before the links.
  • Club stalwart Tom Heaton reported Lammens has been very impressive in early training, praising his calm presence and goalkeeping fundamentals.
  • Rúben Amorim has continued to start Altay Bayindir, including the 3-0 derby defeat to Manchester City, leaving Lammens yet to make a competitive appearance.
  • The Belgian joined on deadline day from Royal Antwerp for about £18–18.2 million as United reacted to unsteady displays from their incumbent goalkeepers.
  • André Onana left on a season-long loan to Trabzonspor after the signing, while Lammens’ brother voiced initial skepticism about United as the right move.
