Ruben Amorim sounds out Manchester United star to be ‘brave’ as Manchester City await

“Sometimes you as a club, you try to see different options, one or another. We have an option that can give us different things in the moment, but also has a great potential to be our goalkeeper for a number of years.”

“We are really pleased, he is a goalkeeper with a lot of potential. We are in a moment where the goalkeeper needs to be really strong and have a lot of experience, but we also have to look at the present with a focus on the future, so it is a bit of both. He will be ready.”

Lammens’ shot-stopping ability and a call-up to the Belgian national team, which exacerbated the goalkeeping problem last season, are testimony to his talent. ESPN reports that Amorim has indicated that Bayindir will initially remain the starting goalkeeper, as Lammens will need time to adjust to the demands of the Premier League. The pace of the league, the intensity of play, training methods and even the variations on the ball play a key role here. From this perspective, it is the right strategy not to rush the young goalkeeper into the field.

What’s in store for Lammens?

Amorim will be responsible for giving Lammens the right direction for his aggressive style. Often, his confidence in crosses or set-pieces can result in wrong decisions, so Amorim’s guidance could make his game more balanced. Along with this, the biggest goal of the manager will be to give the Belgian the experience of dealing with constant pressure situations. If he learns from these challenges and adapts himself, then in the coming times he can become the identity of United.

It is also important to mention here that Manchester United are keen to beat Liverpool and Chelsea to Barcelona prodigy Pedro Fernandez. This news makes it clear that the club is making efforts to bring the future generation into the team, not only in goalkeeping but also in midfield and attack. Such steps show that Manchester United are building a squad that can compete for the next several years.

It is difficult to predict the success of Senne Lammens right now, but there is no doubt about his abilities. His confidence, shot-stopping and ball control make him a strong candidate. However, the pressure of Old Trafford is an extraordinary challenge for any young player. Ultimately, it will depend on the 23-year-old’s hard work, Amorim’s guidance and his consistency in every match whether he will be able to create a new identity for Manchester United or not.
