Senne Lammens has quickly adapted to his new role at Manchester United. The club moved fast to sign him from Belgium, and he has shown promise early in his time at Old Trafford.
United made a bold decision to acquire Lammens for £18 million instead of opting for more well-known players like Emiliano Martinez or Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Lammens has quickly found himself regarded as one of the underrated players at Manchester United. He joined without much buzz and demonstrated he can cope with the demands of the Premier League.
He also praised captain Bruno Fernandes, noting that no one else displays such extraordinary skills during training.
While Amad’s season stats—two goals and three assists—might not stand out, they don’t fully reflect his significance to Michael Carrick’s team.
He was once labeled an ‘ideal’ wing-back by former manager Ruben Amorim. Since then, Carrick has moved him higher on the pitch into a more offensive position, where he is thriving.
Amad Diallo’s growing influence at Manchester United
Lammens is correct: Amad is underrated. However, awareness of his importance is increasing within the team.
Louis Saha has referred to him as ‘unbelievable,’ and the Ivory Coast international continues to impress.
United faced challenges during the AFCON period without Bryan Mbeumo and Amad, but their return has strengthened the team.
Carrick seems to have figured out how to utilize both players effectively, with Mbeumo often taking on the striker role in the 4-2-3-1 formation.
At 23, Amad still has time to fulfill his potential, and there are many reasons to believe in his growth.
The right-wing position, which was once a concern for United, is becoming a key strength with both him and Mbeumo contributing significantly.
