"I didn't like it either... You jinx it. I know it's superstition, but don't do it. Senne has things he does in a specific order before his warm-up. He always wanted me to stand ready before he went out. He did a fist bump with the other two goalkeepers and with me, that was important to him."
"The 23-year-old's displays have been far less prone to mistakes than those of Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir in recent seasons, and influential figures such as Sir Alex Ferguson have taken note."
Senne Lammels, a 23-year-old Belgian goalkeeper, joined Manchester United from Royal Antwerp in the summer and has quickly become the club's No.1 under Ruben Amorim, retaining the position under Michael Carrick. His performances have been notably more reliable than previous goalkeepers Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir, with fewer mistakes and multiple clean sheets this season. Lammels is known for his superstitious nature, particularly prohibiting discussion of clean sheets before matches. His pre-match rituals include specific routines performed in order, including fist bumps with fellow goalkeepers. Sir Alex Ferguson has publicly praised Lammels as "outstanding," recognition that deeply impressed the young keeper.
