Sporting legend stunned by Amorim's Man United move: never heard of him | OneFootball

Peter Schmeichel doesn't understand the signing of Senne Lammens for Manchester United's goal. After making his analysis of the unfavorable situation of Ruben Amorim with the red devils, the former Sporting goalkeeper believes that the Old Trafford management should have secured Emiliano Martínez or Gianluigi Donnarumma.

“We should have signed Emiliano Martínez. In fact, we should have insisted on Gianluigi Donnarumma when we had the chance. But, with Martínez, everything seemed like a great opportunity, because he is exactly the type of goalkeeper that Manchester United needs to have. He proved his qualities at the highest level”, he tells Skybet.

“He is one of those goalkeepers that make forwards think twice. That presence is vital. So, it was extremely disappointing to find out that the deal fell through for financial reasons”, added Peter Schmeichel about the failure of the last market for Emiliano Martínez, who lost his place at Aston Villa to Marco Bizot.

Next, the former Sporting goalkeeper was not satisfied with the signing of Senne Lammens: “As for Lammens, I'll be honest: I've never heard of him. I know his stats are excellent, but that was in Belgium, on a team that finished in fifth place. The stats don't show how you react after a mistake or how you handle the pressure at Manchester United. That pressure is incomparable”.

“He could turn out to be the best signing in history. But, at this moment, it just seems like a hope and that's not what United needs right now. If we had signed him along with Martínez, it would make total sense. But, instead, we are left to wonder who will be the number one”, concluded Peter Schmeichel.
