Sir Alex Ferguson has lauded new Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens as an "outstanding" signing following his impressive start to life at the club. Lammens, who joined in the summer for £18 million from Royal Antwerp, has become the team's new number one after a period of instability in the goalkeeping position.
United had struggled with their goalkeeping for several seasons, with previous signings failing to establish themselves. The team's situation was further complicated when their long-serving number one was allowed to leave, and the replacement failed to impress.
This led to the late signing of Lammens, who has since played a key role in United's current five-game unbeaten run, including a clean sheet on his debut and contributing to a significant win. Ferguson, who knows the importance of top-tier goalkeepers from his own managerial tenure, expressed his optimism about Lammens' performances, noting his assured presence.
He also highlighted the positive impact of other new signings, Mbeumo and Cunha, and stressed the importance of success at Manchester United, suggesting the team is now showing better signs of improvement. Lammens, despite having limited prior top-flight experience, has quickly earned the faith of his manager and the praise of club legend Ferguson.
