Lammens says he is now 'ready to fight for trophies' with 'no excuses'

Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens says the squad has “everything to succeed” and insists there will be “no excuses” as the club prepares for a testing run of fixtures under Rúben Amorim.

The 22-year-old Belgian made his long-awaited debut in United’s 2–0 win over Sunderland at Old Trafford last weekend, producing a calm and composed display that helped ease the pressure on his manager.

Lammens, who joined from Club Brugge in the summer, described the experience as “a dream come true” but said his focus is already on building momentum.

"We have everything here to succeed. To help us in our way of training to get ready for games. There are no excuses, he said, reported The Sun.

“It’s been very nice. Quite good, it’s been a big change in everything, every aspect is bigger. It’s been good. The team has welcomed me with open arms.

“The first couple of weeks was a little bit getting used to everything, getting settled. And the last week or two I've been training good and building up my life here in Manchester.”

Lammens arrived as part of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s broader restructuring of the playing squad, viewed internally as one for the future but capable of challenging André Onana for the No.1 shirt sooner rather than later.

His debut performance, marked by a pair of sharp saves and assured distribution from the back, reportedly impressed Amorim and goalkeeping coach Benni McCarthy, who praised his maturity and composure.

United’s next stretch of fixtures — including matches against Newcastle, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich — will test that resolve. Lammens is expected to feature again in cup competition, with Amorim keen to rotate to manage workloads.

Behind the scenes, club insiders say the Belgian’s professionalism has stood out since his arrival at Carrington. Fluent in English and known for his analytical approach to goalkeeping, Lammens has quickly become popular with teammates and staff alike.

“I’ve come here to compete and to learn,” he added. “Every training session is intense, but that’s how you improve. Manchester United must fight for trophies — that’s the only standard.”

As pressure continues to swirl around Amorim and his rebuilding project, Lammens’ emergence offers a timely reminder that United’s long-term future could yet be built on youth, hunger, and accountability — not excuses.
