Gary Neville performs u-turn on Man Utd signing - 'Really impressed'

Gary Neville has changed his opinion about Manchester United's signing of Senne Lammens, praising the goalkeeper's performance after a strong start at the club.

Gary Neville has publicly reassessed his initial skepticism regarding Manchester United's goalkeeper Senne Lammens, who joined the team in the summer. After witnessing the young Belgian's impressive performances, especially during a recent match against Everton, Neville stated that Lammens was his man of the match. The goalkeeper has made a notable impact, having only conceded 28 goals in 22 appearances, suggesting a promising start to his career at Old Trafford.

Lammens, signed for £18 million from Royal Antwerp, has been a part of a broader overhaul of Manchester United's goalkeeping strategy under Michael Carrick's management. His ability to perform well in high-pressure situations has garnered attention and support from fans and analysts alike. Neville’s change of heart emphasizes the importance of player adaptability and the potential for growth in their careers when supported by a proper team environment.

This endorsement from a former player like Neville may serve to bolster Lammens' confidence as he continues to establish his place in the squad. As Manchester United seeks to regain their status among the elite in football, having a reliable goalkeeper is crucial, and Lammens’ early contributions could play a key role in the team's aspirations this season.
