Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens has said that centre-back duo Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt have helped set expectations for him this season. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the experienced defenders urged him not to try to be an incredible goalkeeper, because the club just needs him to give the team some level of trust at the back.
Lammens added that he wants to remain as calm as possible while helping the defence communicate better.
His words, “They told me I don’t need to be the most amazing or special goalkeeper, just to be there in important moments to give the team trust.
It makes them more relaxed knowing someone is behind them who can help them.
One of the key points of a goalkeeper is helping the defence with communication.
I am proud of being calm and collected. But when the time is needed, I can be harsh or shout at team-mates. To have both characteristics is good.
I want to have a long career here. Then, maybe in the end, I can be in the conversation with people like Schmeichel and [Edwin] van der Sar and [David] de Gea. That would be really nice.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
