A nightmare season for Manchester United's goalkeeper? Senne Lammens reaches an alarming milestone
Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens is facing increasingly uncomfortable questions about his performances! The Belgian international has become the subject of an alarming statistic that highlights just how difficult his season has been. According to a widely circulated report, the 24-year-old has already conceded an astonishing 36 goals in only 18 appearances.
Details: On November 12, The Touchline published a statistic claiming that Lammens had conceded 36 goals across 18 matches this season. That works out to exactly two goals per appearance, a concerning figure for a goalkeeper representing Manchester United and Belgium. The post appeared during Belgium's UEFA Nations League encounter with Turkey, drawing renewed attention to his struggles.
The numbers are particularly striking considering the expectations surrounding Lammens at Old Trafford. Manchester United have experienced serious defensive problems this season, with opponents repeatedly exploiting weaknesses in their back line. The Belgian has frequently found himself under pressure, although responsibility for the goals conceded cannot be placed entirely on the goalkeeper.
Recent results underline the difficult circumstances. United conceded four goals against Aston Villa in a dramatic 4-4 draw, three against Bournemouth and four during their Champions League defeat to Como. Those performances have raised questions about the entire defensive structure rather than simply the player between the posts.
Lammens has also demonstrated his talent on several occasions, producing important saves and showing impressive reflexes. However, the reported average of two goals conceded per game remains difficult to ignore. With Manchester United struggling for consistency, improving their defensive organisation will be essential if the Belgian is to reverse this worrying trend. The precise 36-goal total has not been independently verified.
Reminder: A spectacle at Old Trafford! Lammens pulls off a miracle for Manchester United with a double save against Wolves.
