Lammens: Man Utd's New Goalkeeping Calm
30 Jan
Summary
- Lammens has prevented nearly three goals more than expected in 15 games.
- His long passes bypass opposition pressure effectively.
- He commands his box confidently, unlike previous keepers.

Senne Lammens has rapidly become a cornerstone for Manchester United, providing a level of goalkeeping security reminiscent of David De Gea. Since his £18m transfer from Royal Antwerp in October, the 23-year-old has impressed with his understated yet effective style.
In 15 Premier League appearances, Lammens has prevented nearly three goals more than expected, a stark contrast to previous keepers. His shot-stopping has been crucial, including a remarkable reflex save against Arsenal. He also excels with his feet, frequently launching precise long passes that help United bypass opposition presses.
This strategic directness, with 66.15% of his passes being long this season, has proved invaluable. Lammens' distribution allows Manchester United to gain territory effectively, a significant improvement from previous tactical issues.
