Following his 2025 transfer – Man Utd paying an initial £18.1m fee – Lammens climbed ahead of Altay Bayindir in the pecking order under Ruben Amorim.
Lammens has impressed in his debut season at Old Trafford and added much-needed stability to the Red Devils’ unpredictable backline in the 2025-26 campaign.
The 23-year-old United shot-stopper has continued his importance under Michael Carrick after the interim head coach’s return to the Premier League club last month.

Steve Bruce’s verdict on Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes during the Premier League match against Fulham
Bruno Fernandes made an impact in the first half of Sunday’s Premier League clash after he assisted Casemiro for United’s opener against Fulham at Old Trafford.
The 31-year-old Man Utd captain notched up his third consecutive Premier League assist under Michael Carrick and Bruce waxed lyrical about Bruno Fernandes’ display.
“That is natural talent,” Bruce said.
“Bruno Fernandes doesn’t like anyone standing on his toes, but he can play. He has got wonderful vision.”
Fernandes has been shifted from the two-man midfield pivot under Ruben Amorim to the No 10 role under interim manager Carrick in the last three matches.
