Gone are the days of Hollywood signings like Raphael Varane, Casemiro and Cristiano Ronaldo (second spell).<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the Red Devils have primarily signed stars in their early-mid 20s who in theory, are yet to hit their primes. The idea is those players will then spend the best years of their careers at Old Trafford, rather than at previous clubs, as was the case with Varane and Casemiro.<\/p>\n<p>The headline-grabbing additions over the summer all came in attack. However, United did invest in a new goalkeeper in the form of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/tag\/senne-lammens\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Senne Lammens<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Belgian was made to be patient before being handed his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/manchester-united\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Man Utd<\/a> debut. It finally came last time out against Sunderland and after keeping a clean sheet, the shirt should now be Lammens\u2019 to lose.<\/p>\n<p>At 23 \u2013 considered young for a starting goalkeeper \u2013 and with just one full season of Belgian top flight football under his belt, Lammens could develop at a rapid rate.<\/p>\n<p>And according to his former coach at Club Brugge,\u00a0Hayk Milkon, Lammens has the ability to become the world\u2019s best goalkeeper during his stay in Manchester.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was not surprised when I saw Manchester United had come calling. And to record his first clean sheet, I was really happy for him,\u201d Milkon told <a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/sport\/football\/senne-lammens-can-become-best-32667971\" target=\"_blank\">the MEN<\/a>. \u201cSenne is a potential No.1 for the Red Devils [and] the Belgium national team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe got his chance, he took it, and we\u2019re all really proud of him, but we knew it would happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe he has all the capabilities to become the best in the world, so I wish him all the best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure he will have a very good career in England, and Manchester United should return to the big club they used to be. He will have a positive impact on that, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>HAVE YOU SIGNED UP?<\/strong>\u00a0\ud83d\udcab\u00a0Get the inside story first by joining\u00a0our\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.messenger.com\/channel\/teamtalk\" target=\"_blank\">TEAMtalk Facebook channel<\/a>\u00a0to receive the latest breaking and exclusive news straight into your Messenger inbox.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lammens gunning for Courtois\u2019 spot next<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Milkon also suggested it might not be long before Lammens takes the starting spot for Belgium too. Doing so would shove Thibaut Courtois \u2013 one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time and Belgium\u2019s most-capped GK \u2013 onto the scrapheap.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully he will be Belgium\u2019s first-choice goalkeeper soon,\u201d continued Milkon. \u201cI believe he has the potential, the skillset and the personality to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lammens\u2019 next opportunity to impress should come at Anfield on Sunday afternoon. Man Utd visit the home of champions Liverpool at 4:30pm UK time and a busy afternoon for the United stopper is anticipated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Latest Man Utd news<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd34\u26ab\ufe0f\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/manchester-united\/jean-philippe-mateta-crystal-palace-hat-trick-bournemouth-benjamin-sesko\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Man Utd links justified as \u2018dangerous\u2019 French striker scores hat-trick to send brutal Benjamin Sesko message<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd34\u26ab\ufe0f\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/news\/endrick-real-madrid-manchester-united-january-loan\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Xabi Alonso reveals whether Endrick could join Man Utd from Real Madrid in January<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd34\u26ab\ufe0f\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/manchester-united\/joshua-zirkzee-antony-real-betis-january-loan-deal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Antony reunion ON for \u00a343m Man Utd star who \u2018wants out\u2019 after getting fed up with Ruben Amorim \u2013 \u2018contact\u2019 made<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>VOTE: Which Man Utd signing has the biggest impact this season?\u00a0\u2b07\ufe0f<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A former coach of a current Manchester United star believes he can become the best player in the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":132016,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[5130,18,2306,793,19,17,20,14562,132,79194],"class_list":{"0":"post-132015","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-all-the-news","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-english-premier-league","11":"tag-front-page","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-manchester-united","15":"tag-senne-lammens","16":"tag-sports","17":"tag-thibaut-courtois"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132015"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132015\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
