Overview
- Statistics cited by talkSPORT from The Athletic show Lammens holds the ball for an average of 7.68 seconds, the longest in the league and just shy of the new eight‑second cap that now triggers a corner if exceeded.
- The 23‑year‑old has made 23 Premier League appearances with 25 goals conceded and five clean sheets, including a Player of the Match display in a 1‑0 win over Everton.
- Michael Carrick stopped short of direct comparisons with Edwin van der Sar but lauded Lammens’ composure, trustworthiness and ability to calm the defence.
- Signed from Royal Antwerp for about £18 million in September 2025, Lammens has displaced Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir to become first choice as United target a top‑five finish.
- Recent reporting also highlights personal habits, including a reported pre‑match ban on clean‑sheet talk and extra training sessions, alongside earlier public praise from Sir Alex Ferguson calling him “outstanding.”
