[Saba Sports News] According to British media, Manchester United will rally around Senne Lammens and offer him full support following his costly goalkeeping blunder at the World Cup.
In the World Cup quarter-final where Belgium lost 2-1 to Spain, the 24-year-old stopper produced a fatal error in the 88th minute, gifting Mikel Merino a chance to score. The match was poised to head into extra time. Lammens had come off the bench just ten minutes earlier to replace the injured Thibaut Courtois, yet he spilled a strike from Pau Cubarsí and coughed the ball up into a dangerous area. Merino pounced to blast the rebound into the top corner of the net, sealing Spain’s semifinal spot. Lammens endured a nightmare World Cup debut in Los Angeles. After the final whistle, Thibaut Courtois and the rest of Belgium’s bench rushed over to console the distraught goalkeeper who had broken down in tears. Now that protective support network will follow him back to Old Trafford.
The editor believes that Senne Lammens’ teammates at Manchester United are also expected to offer him a helping hand. With an even more gruelling fixture schedule ahead this season, he is now working to regain his form and bounce back stronger.
