Onana severely underperformed for Manchester United last season, prompting Amrabat to firmly release him this summer. Yet, the second-choice keeper Bainder's form remained unstable. At the transfer deadline, Manchester United secured 23-year-old Belgian goalkeeper Lamens from Antwerp for €21 million. During a difficult period, Amrabat boldly entrusted the new goalkeeper, who proved himself in just two Premier League games and won over the fans, finally providing Manchester United with a definitive answer in goal.

In the 7th round of the Premier League, Manchester United defeated newly promoted Sunderland 2-0 at home, with Lamens making his Premier League debut and keeping a clean sheet. After the match, Lamens earned the highest rating of 7.8, showing no fear as a newcomer. He remained composed and excited, delivering steady performances with excellent goal-line skills!

In the 8th round, Manchester United secured a 2-1 away win over Liverpool with a last-minute goal. Lamens started again, making five crucial saves and playing a key role in the victory. In his first two Premier League appearances, Lamens helped Manchester United achieve their first back-to-back league wins under Amrabat. After just two games, Lamens has cemented his position as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper. With the new signing settling in, the team is expected to improve steadily and ultimately return to competing for a top-four Premier League spot!
