Goalkeeper Senne Lammens delivered a memorable first appearance, shining brightly in Man Utd’s win against Sunderland.

Man Utd regained their winning form by defeating Sunderland in the 7th round of the Premier League. Besides the goals from Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko at Old Trafford, a notable highlight was the debut of goalkeeper Senne Lammens, the new signing Man Utd acquired on the last day of the summer transfer window.

Meeting the long-held expectations of the "Red Devils" fans, the Belgian star delivered a very impressive display. Specifically, according to statistics from SofaScore, Lammens made 3 crucial saves, touched the ball 52 times, recovered possession 11 times, executed 2 accurate catches, and performed 1 timely rush to block the ball, helping Man Utd keep their first clean sheet of the season.

These stats helped the 2002-born goalkeeper surpass his teammates and opponents when rated by SofaScore with a score of 7.8, the highest among all players on the pitch.

This partly shows that Lammens quickly adapted to the Premier League environment, especially wearing the Man Utd jersey. Previously, the club struggled to find a top-class goalkeeper since David de Gea left in 2023. Both Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir failed to inspire confidence, but Senne Lammens immediately brought a fresh breeze, restoring fans’ faith after a tough start to the season.

After the match, coach Ruben Amorim praised Senne Lammens' performance. Specifically, the Portuguese strategist said: "We need to understand that everyone must be ready to play. The season is long, the team faces many challenges, and anything can happen. What matters is that the teammates helped Lammens a lot so he could deliver an excellent game."
