Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, has called on supporters to avoid drawing comparisons between goalkeeper Senne Lammens and club legend Peter Schmeichel.
Speaking ahead of United’s Premier League encounter with Liverpool on Sunday, Amorim addressed the growing hype around the young Belgian shot-stopper following his debut performance.
Fans have been quick to liken Lammens to the iconic Schmeichel, but Amorim cautioned against premature judgments, stressing that the 21-year-old still has a lot to prove.
“He’s not Schmeichel yet,” Amorim told the club’s official website. “He’s a young guy with talent. He showed a lot of composure, and the fans liked it. But again, that is in the past; we need to prove in the next game.”
United currently occupy 10th place in the Premier League table after losing three of their opening seven matches. The Red Devils are still seeking stability following last season’s struggles, which saw them finish 15th, their lowest league position in 51 years and lose the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur.
