And yet, within the first minute, that narrative was brushed to one side and United went on to record what will go down as a famous win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"men\">Choosing a man of the match after such a result is an unenviable task but the one player who managed to truly cement himself as an undroppable deserved the acclaim. <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/senne-lammens\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Senne LammensLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Senne Lammens<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"men\">Like the <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/sunderland-afc\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"SunderlandLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sunderland<\/a> match, Lammens did not necessarily have to play out of his skin to have a good game against <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/liverpool-fc\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"LiverpoolLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Liverpool<\/a>. But he did have his moments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"men\">The Belgian commanded his area in the hostile atmosphere and did superbly when he was called into action in the first half to prevent Alexander Isak equalising. In the second half, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/manchester-united-fc\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"UnitedLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">United<\/a> came under further pressure but Lammens stood tall and inspired confidence from those who were in front of him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"men\">He did excellently to close down Mohamed Salah to ensure his strike sailed wide and while he was beaten for Cody Gakpo&#8217;s goal, there was little he could have done to prevent that. Potentially Lammens&#8217; most important contribution though came in stoppage time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"men\">With Liverpool looking to pile on the pressure, the corners started to flow and that&#8217;s when the goalkeeper truly impressed. Instead of wilting, the 23-year-old took charge of his box, punching the ball away and ensuring that there was no need for any further jangling nerves.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1_Liverpool-v-Manchester-United-Premier-League.jpg\" alt=\"Senne Lammens of Manchester United reacts during the Premier League match between Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield on October 19, 2025 in Liverpool, England.\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>Senne Lammens enjoyed a brilliant second start in the Premier League for Manchester United on Sunday(Image: Carl Recine, Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"men\">After Sunderland, nobody wanted to get too excited about Lammens. We have seen too many false dawns in that position before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"men\">However, combine this with the Liverpool performance and suddenly it looks like there is even greater reason to be optimistic about the goalkeeper. Yes, Altay Bayindir tried his best to fill that role but it now feels as though that place firmly belongs to the Belgian.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"men\">Here at The Manchester Evening News, we are dedicated to bringing you the best <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/manchester-united-fc\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Manchester United<\/a> coverage and analysis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"men\">Make sure you don&#8217;t miss out on the latest United news by joining our free WhatsApp group.
