A Secure Pair of Arms
The goalkeeping place has been a supply of appreciable angst for the Pink Devils this season and final.
Neither of Ruben Amorim’s senior choices, Andre Onana or Altay Bayindir, have impressed because the Portuguese coach he arrived at Previous Trafford final 12 months.

Moreover, within the solitary match Onana was chosen for – the humiliating defeat to League Two Grimsby City on penalties within the Carabo Cup – the Cameroonian was totally woeful.
This mixture led United to focus on Lammens within the ultimate week of the summer season window with a deal value an preliminary £18.1 million struck on deadline day with Royal Antwerp.
The 23-year-old Belgian’s arrival then led to Onana’s departure with the previous Inter Milan star becoming a member of Turkish facet Trabzonspor on a season-long mortgage.
Followers had been determined for Lammens to begin the Manchester Derby final weekend. However Amorim determined the high-pressure match had come too quickly for the younger goalkeeper after only a week of coaching at Carrington.
