Manchester United fans have been left scratching their heads after Senne Lammens, the club’s new goalkeeper, was once again left out of the starting line-up in the Manchester derby.
The Belgian shot-stopper, only 23 years old, has quickly made a big impact on his teammates.
Veteran keeper Tom Heaton even praised him, saying Lammens is calm, strong in personality, and already showing top goalkeeping skills in training.
Reports say he has “dazzled” those around him since arriving at Old Trafford.
For fans who have seen mistakes and shaky moments from United’s recent keepers, this is exciting news.
Many believe Lammens could be the solid number one the club has needed for years.

Amorim Chooses Bayindir Again
Even with this hype around Lammens, boss Ruben Amorim decided to stick with Altay Bayindir against Manchester City.
It was Bayindir’s fourth league start in a row. While he didn’t make huge mistakes, he also didn’t look convincing, especially against a strong City attack.
The decision has raised questions. If Lammens was signed to be the new number one, why is he still waiting on the bench? Fans expected to see him tested in a big game, but instead, Amorim went for the safer option in Bayindir.
What Happens Next?
United now face big matches against Chelsea, Brentford, and Sunderland in the coming weeks.
These games could decide how much trust Amorim really has in his new signing. Many supporters think it’s time to unleash Lammens and give him a chance to prove himself.
The situation is made even more confusing when compared to rivals.
Manchester City threw their new keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma straight into the starting XI, and he repaid the faith with strong saves and full command of his area.
United also looked at Donnarumma and Emiliano Martinez before picking Lammens, who was the youngest and cheapest option.
That raises another question: did Amorim truly want Lammens, or was he just the easiest deal to make?
Fans Want Change
For now, United fans will be waiting to see the team sheet against Chelsea.
If Lammens starts, it could mark the beginning of a new era for the club’s defence. If not, questions about Amorim’s judgement will only get louder.
What is clear is that the Belgian has already shown promise in training.
Now supporters want to see if he can turn that into strong performances on the pitch.
