مانشستر يونايتد left-back Shaw believes it’s up to senior players like him to take care of new arrivals in the squad, as the Englishman provided his first impressions on new goalkeeper Lammens. Shaw said that the Belgian “looks really sharp” in training as the young goalkeeper awaits the chance to make his debut for the Red Devils.
Head coach Ruben Amorim was not at all convinced with the goalkeeping options at his disposal. Andre Onana made mistakes too often to be overlooked, while Altay Bayindir didn’t exactly evoke a sense of security in goal. As such, متحد pushed to sign a new goalkeeper, with Lammens and أستون فيلا star Emi Martinez topping their shortlist. Eventually, it was the former the Red Devils captured, paying Royal Antwerp a fee of £18 million (€21m/$24.5m). Onana left for Turkish side طرابزون سبور, further strengthening the notion that Lammens would become the new No.1 at Old Trafford.
The 23-year-old is yet to make his debut for United, with Amorim confirming that Bayindir will start in goal for Sunday’s Manchester ديربي, as Lammens continues to adapt to a “different ball.”
“Really good. I think us, as players, it’s really important to help any new players settle in,” Shaw told سكاي سبورتس of his first impressions of Lammens. “He’s been really good, he’s trained for a couple of days. Looks really sharp. I’ve been really impressed with him. So, you know, that’s good. It’s always good, like I said, to have new additions, and I’m really looking forward to playing with him.”
With Amorim confirming that Bayindir will start against City, Lammens will have to wait until next Saturday to find out whether he will be making his debut for his new employers. United will welcome تشيلسي at Old Trafford in their next game.
