News MU today 6/10: Rising star rookie; Amorim stands alongside Sir Alex

Rookie Senne Lammens excites fans, Coach Amorim celebrates a memorable 50th match,... are the key Manchester United headlines on October 6th.

Rookie Senne Lammens reminds MU fans of legendary Peter Schmeichel

Senne Lammens, Manchester United’s new goalkeeper, made an outstanding debut in the 2-0 victory over Sunderland, helping the “Red Devils” end their goalkeeping struggles.

Signed from Antwerp for £18.2 million, Lammens immediately impressed with solid performances, excellent reflexes, and confident command of the defense. Old Trafford supporters even chanted loudly “Is that Peter Schmeichel?”,comparing him to the Danish legend.

During the match, MU took an early 2-0 lead thanks to Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko, while Lammens made crucial saves against Xhaka, securing the first clean sheet in 6 games. Coach Ruben Amorim praised: “He looked very confident, it was a positive start.”

This performance not only won Lammens fans’ admiration but also opened up a strong chance for him to keep his starting spot in the big clash against Liverpool after the international break.

Ruben Amorim matches a milestone once achieved by Sir Alex Ferguson

The 2-0 win over Sunderland not only relieved pressure on Manchester United but also earned Coach Ruben Amorim a special milestone, equaling a record set by Sir Alex Ferguson 38 years ago.

Statistics show Amorim is the first MU coach since Sir Alex to win his 50th game in charge. Previous managers like Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho, Solskjaer, and Ten Hag all failed to do so, drawing or losing at this milestone.

This win also lifted the “Red Devils” temporarily to 10th place in the Premier League table, just 2 points behind the European qualification spots. Although they have only 10 points from 7 rounds, 9 of those came at home, indicating Amorim is gradually restoring Old Trafford’s strength, the “Theatre of Dreams.”

Erik ten Hag set to return as Ajax paves way for reunion with former coach

After a brief and unsuccessful stint at Bayer Leverkusen, Erik ten Hag is facing a chance to return to coaching as Ajax Amsterdam expresses interest in bringing him back.

According to De Telegraaf, Ajax is searching for a replacement for Coach Johnny Heitinga following a 0-4 loss to Marseille in the Champions League. Despite remaining unbeaten domestically, the club’s management worries that poor European form could harm the team’s reputation.

Ten Hag had an extremely successful period at Ajax from 2017 to 2022, winning 3 Eredivisie titles and leading a legendary run to the 2018/19 Champions League semi-finals. At MU, he also won two trophies, the League Cup and FA Cup, before being dismissed due to poor results.

If he returns to Ajax, it will be an emotional reunion, allowing Ten Hag to regain credibility after a slump and opening the door to revive his coaching career.

Premier League set to scrap PSR rule – Historic financial turning point

The Premier League is approaching a financial revolution as it prepares to abolish the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), which previously capped losses at £105 million over three years.

According to CEO Richard Masters, the change aims to align the league better with UEFA regulations and expand clubs’ investment capacity. The Premier League plans to introduce a new limit allowing teams to spend up to 85% of their revenue on wages and transfers, higher than UEFA’s current 70% threshold.

This move follows controversies where clubs like Everton and Nottingham Forest were docked points for PSR violations. Mid-table teams such as Aston Villa and Brighton argue that PSR creates unfairness by forcing them to sell players to balance finances.

If approved at the November meeting, this will be the biggest change in the league’s history, ushering in a new era where the Premier League can maintain sustainability while remaining the most attractive league worldwide.
