Ruben reflects on Senne's Schmeichel comparisons

The deadline-day arrival from Royal Antwerp was awarded his first appearance by Amorim in our final game before October’s international break. Lammens helped United to a dominant home victory over Sunderland, and secured a clean sheet, too.

The reaction to his performance was overwhelmingly positive, with sections of the Stretford End offering up a tongue-in-cheek rendition of ‘Are you Schmeichel in disguise?’, in reference to our legendary Danish goalkeeper.

Peter was one of several former players who gave significant praise to Lammens, describing his debut as “a really good and solid goalkeeping performance.”

Senne’s display clearly gives him a strong chance of starting United’s next game, our trip to Anfield to face Liverpool on Sunday, although Amorim remained coy, even while outlining his admiration for the Belgian.
