Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens could make his senior international debut over the November break.

Senne Lammens remains unbeaten as a Manchester United player after completing an £18 million move in the summer transfer window.

The 23-year-old goalkeeper has settled brilliantly into Ruben Amorim’s starting XI, and earned himself a call-up to the Belgium national squad.

Belgium shot-stopper Thibaut Courtois has been mentoring Lammens as a senior figure in the squad, and the Real Madrid goalkeeper understandably remains the No.1 choice for his nation.

Lammens is competing with Courtois on the international stage, and a golden opportunity to make his debut just emerged.

Thibaut Courtois injury opens door for Senne Lammens

As his compatriot, Courtois has been full of praise for Lammens, with the former Chelsea goalkeeper often replying to the United star on social media.

Courtois is set to miss Belgium’s November international fixtures with a leg injury, meaning manager Rudi Garcia must choose another goalkeeper to step up.

Nottingham Forest’s Matz Sels and RB Leipzig’s Maarten Vandevoordt will compete with Lammens for a starting spot.

“What’s the price? 20 million Euros, that tells me he’s not a top goalkeeper.”
