Lammens Debut Sees United Beat Sunderland

Senne Lammens made his Manchester United debut in a 2-0 Premier League win over Sunderland, keeping a clean sheet and earning Man of the Match praise. The 23-year-old, who joined from Royal Antwerp on transfer-deadline day for an initial £18.2m (€21m) plus add‑ons, had to wait three matches while manager Ruben Amorim persisted with Altay Bayındır. Lammens produced three important saves that prevented 0.94 expected goals, showed a commanding presence with high claims and emphasis on long passes, and matched Bayındır’s Premier League clean-sheet tally. Belgian media largely praised the composed performance, though some noted the Sunderland debut was relatively straightforward, and fans launched a new chant in his honour. With André Onana loaned to Trabzonspor, Lammens’ display could shift United’s goalkeeper pecking order and eased immediate pressure on Amorim.
