Senne Lammens has explained his committed day-to-day routine at Manchester United’s training ground
Senne Lammens has opened up about his training ground antics that were previously heralded by Manchester United bosses.
The goalkeeper joined the Red Devils on deadline day last year in an £18.2million transfer as Ruben Amorim’s last signing as United head coach. After being benched for his first three league games, the Belgium international was handed his debut in a 2-0 win against Sunderland.
Lammens has since played every game and with five clean sheets to his name, he’s introduced a sense of calm and reliability between the sticks. It’s not just his noticeable talent that has been adored by the United faithful and praised by the club’s hierarchy, but also the 23-year-old’s attitude towards training and his impressive work ethic.

Lammens delved into his routine at Carrington during an appearance on ex-United stopper Ben Foster’s ‘Fozcast’ podcast. The Belgian explained: “I live alone here at the minute.
“I don’t really want to be home at 1 [o’clock] and doing nothing the rest of my day. We have the capabilities like a swimming pool, sauna and ice bath, we have it here, so why not take full use of it?
“So I try to take my time with it, most of the time [I’m] the last guy here, which I’m not saying it to big up myself. I know if I have children and a wife at home waiting for me, I’ll probably hurry up a little bit more.”
According to the i paper, United insiders lauded Lammens’ commitment to improving his game and his maturity despite his tender years and relative inexperience at the top level. His extra work as the first to arrive at training and the last to leave didn’t go unnoticed.
Before making the move from Royal Antwerp, Tom Lammens, the brother of the United goalkeeper, claimed Senne was subject to interest from Galatasaray. Tom admitted he was initially doubting whether a move to Manchester was best for his sibling.
Speaking to Belgian outlet Nieuwsblad, Tom said: “There’s a lot of quality, you play for trophies there [at Galatasaray], and Senne could perhaps immediately make his mark in the Champions League.
“I was initially sceptical about a move to United, because many players there had already succumbed to the pressure and couldn’t reach their full potential. But ultimately, it was Senne who had to make the decision.
“United gave him the best feeling. Partly because Tony Coton, United’s goalkeeping scout, had been following him for almost a year and was very convinced of his qualities. It would also be great if the club could return to its former glory and if Senne could contribute to that.”
