Manchester United are on the verge of signing Senne Lammens, and Thibaut Courtois has given the seal of approval to Rio Ferdinand.
On the day of the Manchester United transfer deadline, Senne Lammens, a Belgian goalkeeper, was chosen over Emi Martinez.
In their search for Andre Onana’s replacement, the Red Devils have chosen the younger, and likely less expensive, choice despite strong Martinez-to-United ties.
Even though Lammens is only 23, he still has years to go. The renowned Thibaut Courtois has described this.
Rio Ferdinand shares what Thibaut Courtois said about Senne Lammens
Rio went live on his YouTube channel to talk about Manchester United’s business on the day of the deadline, and goalkeepers were a major topic of discussion.
He stepped off-screen for a moment and left a voicemail alerting his co-hosts that it was none other than the great Belgian goalie Courtois.
Rio went on to discuss his thoughts on Man United’s new goalie.
Rio begins: “Just so you know, that voice note was from Thibaut Courtois. He let me know about Lammens because he’s a Belgian player, and he was just giving me the heads up about what he’s like.
“He said he’s a huge talent, obviously not experienced yet, but he thinks his style will be well-suited to the Premier League as well.
“So that’s a recommendation from probably one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Thibaut Courtois. I’ll take that. I keep seeing people talk about the talent and whatnot, but the problem is: can Man United afford to wait for talent to develop at this point in time? That’s the question.”
Lammens has the seal of approval from Courtois, which will be music to United supporters’ ears.
Manchester United fans need to back Senne Lammens
United supporters should give Lammens some time because he is a young goalie. He’s not the finished product, but he has the potential to be, as Courtois stated.
When David de Gea first joined Manchester United, he struggled, but after being given enough time to grow and thrive at Old Trafford, he became a world-beater.
There are also notable parallels between the two.
United supporters now have to do the same with their new number one. Senne Lammens, welcome.
