Rio Ferdinand Backs Senne Lammens as Manchester United’s Long-Term No. 1

The endorsement highlights a deadline-day recruit now anchoring a Champions League-bound side.

Overview

  • Ferdinand said on his podcast that the 23-year-old is calm, reliable and good enough to keep the shirt for the next decade.
  • Lammens kept a clean sheet in a 0-0 at Sunderland, stopping Noah Sadiki one-on-one early and pushing away Brian Brobbey’s shot in the second half.
  • He has made about 30 appearances this season after debuting against Sunderland in late October and has held the starting role since.
  • The Belgian joined from Royal Antwerp on deadline day last summer for a reported £18.2 million fee, according to local reporting.
  • United have secured a return to the Champions League and sit a point from third, which strengthens the case that the signing has delivered quick value.
