“He [Lammens] stood up and he got a fist to it, caught it, and he was immaculate, the two or three shots down by his right-hand side, didn’t spill them.”
Bruce added: “He looks a real, real good goalkeeper. I’m delighted for him.”
Lammens made four appearances for Royal Antwerp in the current campaign before he left the Belgian Pro League outfit and signed for Man Utd in the 2025-26 season.
