Amorim will be delighted with what one Man United star achieved on int'l duty

Manchester United star Senne Lammens enjoyed a defining moment on Tuesday as he made his senior Belgium debut.

The 23-year-old has previously represented his nation at the Under-17 and Under-21 levels, but had to wait for his first-team debut due to intense competition.

With Thibaut Courtois established as an icon and Matz Sels a reliable understudy, breaking into the squad has been no easy feat.

Manager Rudi Garcia finally showed faith in Lammens and the youngster picked up a clean sheet in his side’s 7-0 win over Liechtstenstein.

Lammens had 12 touches in the contest and completed eight of his nine passes.

He completed five ball recoveries but was called upon to make just one save as Liechstenstein failed to show any inspiration in the final third.

Keeping a clean sheet on international debut is the perfect confidence-booster for a goalkeeper at the start of a promising career.

United head coach Ruben Amorim will be delighted with Lammens and will hope that his side can claim a clean sheet when Everton travel to Manchester in the Premier League next Monday.

The former Royal Antwerp standout is expected to keep his place in goal, even after Altay Bayindir impressed against Spain the previous night.

Lammens has brought a sense of calm and authority to a United back line that has been craving stability for the past two seasons.

His seamless adaptation to English football has even earned praise from Sir Alex Ferguson, who rarely hands out compliments lightly.

The young goalkeeper has featured five times for United and has yet to taste defeat.

The Old Trafford faithful will hope his unbeaten run continues and helps propel the team further up the Premier League table.
