Tom Heaton has now dropped his powerful verdict on Senne Lammens after Manchester United made four key signings back in the summer transfer window.
Senne Lammens closed out the Red Devils’ busy summer spending spree after Manchester United signed the 23-year-old Belgian shot-stopper on deadline day.

United paid Belgian Pro League outfit Royal Antwerp an initial transfer fee of £18.1m and agreed to add-ons to bring Lammens to Old Trafford back in September.
Lammens has impressed at United so far after he ascended to the No 1 role, with Andre Onana offloaded from the Premier League club in a loan deal to Trabzonspor.
The Belgium international has made 11 appearances for United since his arrival from Royal Antwerp and Lammens has kept one clean sheet in the 2025-26 campaign.

Before Manchester United signed Senne Lammens, the Red Devils had been busy early in the summer transfer window after the end of their 2024-25 campaign.
The Red Devils splashed out on Matheus Cunha back in June after United triggered his release clause and signed him for a £62.5m transfer fee from Wolves.
Speaking on Manchester United’s official podcast, Tom Heaton admitted that the 26-year-old former Wolves ace has impressed both on the pitch and off it.

When asked about United’s four major summer signings, he said on the Inside Carrington show: “Yeah, they’ve been excellent, actually.
“You know, [they] all bring something different. I think, you know, obviously Matheus, [a] fantastic footballer, [a] little bit of a maverick, the way he plays.
“He’s difficult to play against, but he’s also brought, you know, real, real good energy into the dressing room, to be honest. He’s been superb.”
Following United’s signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves, the Red Devils ramped up their efforts to land Bryan Mbeumo from Premier League side Brentford in July.

The Red Devils’ third bid was finally accepted for the 26-year-old French-born winger, with United paying the Bees an initial fee of £65m and agreeing to add-ons.
Speaking on Bryan Mbeumo, Heaton added: “Bryan, [he was] obviously brilliant at Brentford, really, really effective in what he does.
“As I say, hard to play against. And a real good human being. All four signings have brought something different into the club.”
Tom Heaton on what he has noticed from Benjamin Sesko and Senne Lammens at Man Utd
With Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo both through the doors at Old Trafford, United stepped up their pursuit of a striker and eventually signed Benjamin Sesko.
United landed Benjamin Sesko back in August ahead of Premier League side Newcastle, with the Red Devils paying an initial £66.3m fee in a deal worth £73.7m.
When discussing the former RB Leipzig striker, Heaton continued: “I think Ben, up front, you know, really does look the part.
“He’ll be fantastic for the football club. Real good lad.”

However, Heaton said that his close interactions with United No 1 Lammens left him “really impressed” with how the Belgian has handled his “business” at the club.
“And obviously, Senne, who I’ve obviously worked really close with,” Heaton explained.
“And I’ve said before, been really, really impressed with how he’s gone about his business. It’s not easy as a 23-year-old coming to playing goal at Man United.
“You know, a lot of people have spoken about the chance he [has by] playing as a goalie at this club.
“But he’s embraced that really well so far and I’ve been impressed.”
United are back in Premier League action on Friday evening against Newcastle, with the Boxing Day clash slated for an 8pm kick-off time at Old Trafford in the UK.
