Amorim expects 23yo Man Utd star to become world’s best in his position in 3 yrs, Madrid ace regularly advises him
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim expects Senne Lammens to become the world’s best goalkeeper within the next three years, according to the Sun.
The 23-year-old Belgian made his debut for the Red Devils against Sunderland last weekend, impressing in the 2-0 victory.
Man United signed Lammens on summer transfer deadline day, and he has been receiving regular pep talks from fellow Belgian and Real Madrid counterpart Thibaut Courtois.
The former Chelsea star has been providing the Red Devil goalie with some tips on how to adapt to the pressure of playing for a big club in the Premier League.
Lammens has been taking in the lessons, keeping a clean sheet on his debut, making three saves and claiming two high crosses.
He was vocal in the game, with his aerial skill, power and strong ball-playing ability impressing Amorim.
Man United had to choose between him and Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez in the summer, and the club believe they made the right decision.
Lammens is still some way behind the World Cup-winning Argentine, but he has huge potential and could indeed become one of the best in his position in a few years.
He has been tipped to succeed 33-year-old Courtois as the first-choice in the national team, and he will get another opportunity to learn from the veteran during the ongoing international break.
Lammens first trained with the Madrid star when they were called up to the international camp together in March, and they have been in touch since then.
Man United have not had a reliable goalie since the departure of David de Gea, and the arrival of the Belgian has brought about some form of confidence.
They might not have been eliminated from the Carabao Cup had Lammens been in goal, and Amorim will hope his defence experiences an upswing in fortunes due to his new first-choice goalie.
