Sir Alex Ferguson highlighted a clear positive for Manchester United in recent weeks, singling out summer signing Senne Lammens as a standout performer between the posts. Ferguson described the goalkeeper\u2019s start to life at Old Trafford as a welcome development amid a broader recovery for the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are signs, the manager has had some good signs,\u201d Ferguson told Raceday RTV . \u201cParticularly the goalkeeper has been outstanding. He\u2019s only played three or four games and he\u2019s looking really good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lammens joined Manchester United from Royal Antwerp for an initial fee of \u00a318.1 million ($24.5 million). After spending September behind Altay Bay\u0131nd\u0131r, he was handed his first start against the Black Cats on Oct. 4 and kept a clean sheet at Old Trafford. He has played every minute since that debut and produced a notable performance against Liverpool, making five saves and conceding just one goal to the defending Premier League champions.<\/p>\n
Offensively, Bryan Mbeumo has been influential, scoring four goals across five matches, while fellow summer signings Matheus Cunha and Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko have also contributed. Ferguson acknowledged those attacking additions as part of the improving picture, giving particular credit to the forwards for \u201cadding\u201d to the Red Devils\u2019 recent successes following a disastrous 2024\u201325 season in which Andr\u00e9 Onana, who joined S\u00fcper Lig side Trabzonspor on loan, committed blunder after blunder in goal.<\/p>\n
United currently sit seventh in the Premier League standings but are just two points behind third-place Chelsea. Ferguson remains optimistic that the momentum can be sustained and that relief will come for manager Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope the manager gets a bit of success because at United you need to have success… the signs are getting better,\u201d Ferguson said. \u201cI think back-to-back wins is something teams like United should always expect. But having gone through a cycle where the improvement has to come by waiting and being patient, they\u2019ll enjoy it now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Man Utd will be keen to extend their unbeaten run to six matches when they host Everton on Monday, Nov. 24.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
