📰 Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens has calmly answered Paul Scholes, who said the jury is still out on him. 📌 Key points 🗣️ Scholes questioned whether Lammens is truly top class. ⚽ The comments followed the 1-0 derby defeat by City. ⚖️ Referees later admitted City's winner should not have stood. 🧠 Lammens says he has not changed and must stay mentally strong. 🏟️ United host Tottenham at Old Trafford on 10 October. 📝 What happened ⚽ United lost 1-0 at home to a 10-man City in the derby. Erling Haaland scored the winner, but Enzo Fernández was in an offside position and moved towards the cross. Pro Ref, formerly PGMOL, admitted an error of judgement, saying VAR should have recommended an on-field review, and contacted United to acknowledge it. 🗣️ Scholes then asked which team had won the Premier League without a top-class goalkeeper, adding that the jury was probably still out on Lammens. He pointed to Alisson, Raya, Schmeichel and Van der Sar as examples. 🧠 Speaking on Belgium duty, Lammens said playing for United had not changed his character, and that a keeper must be mentally strong and confident in the face of everyone offering opinions. He added that he enjoys every game, whether in the Premier League or the Nations League. 🇧🇪 Belgium manager Mark van Bommel backed him, saying Lammens' strength is that he stays the same whatever the circumstances. 📊 By the numbers • Manchester derby: United 0-1 City • Lammens: 24 years old, joined United in 2025 🔭 Why it matters Signed as a calmer alternative to André Onana, Lammens is seen as United's long-term No. 1. He has shown he will not be rattled by a club legend, but the real answer has to come on the pitch, starting against Tottenham at Old Trafford on 10 October.
